DC Goes Enron
DC Shoes (scroll to middle of page) is apparently a little bit fucked with the IRS. The feds cite a long list of alleged sins, including omitted proceeds from asset sales, undocumented entertainment expenses and dividends deducted as expenses. Transworld Skateboarding reported a while ago that: “DC Shoe Co. made donations to four nonprofit organizations that focus on any combination of human rights, poverty alleviation, and responsible business practices for manufacturing overseas. One of the major organizations was The Milarepa Fund, a nonprofit organization founded by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys and Erin Potts.” - Let’s hope everything comes out ok. DC Shoes Website

We are guessing that about this time next year there will probably be an article or two about skateboard injuries declining as a result of strictly enforced helmet laws in States like California. Don’t be fooled friends. You’ll remember that there are more people riding skateboards and conclude that injuries are on the rise because of that fact.
