Just wanted to let you all know about this NYC event that will be going down on Sat. June 14th. The skate jam/best trick contest will be
the first of its kind here in New York, happening at high altitude on the rooftop of Manhattan's New Design High School. It all begins at
11AM, so grab an egg and cheese, a morning cup and get out to this thing. It's going to be insane. Hope you can make it out. Here is a little video teaser.

I recently received a press release about a movie featuring the life of the Paskowitz family. The film documents the life of this legendary surf family who spent their childhood living out of camper. In the mid-1950s Dorian Paskowitz was a successful doctor but had the realization that he had no interest in money or status so he ditched it all in order to travel around with his wife and 9 kids in a camper. Check out the trailer here.

Kris Markovich will no longer be flipping burgers for Crimson Skateboards. Crimson and Kris have decided to part ways
after disagreements developed over the operations and direction of the company. Ouch! I was under the impression that Crimson was Kris' company. What will Crimson be without Markovich?

Arto Saari says good bye to Flip Skateboards, and says hello to Alien Workshop. Geoff Rowley made this statement: "Arto is like a brother to me. After years of being on the same team with the same goals it was time for him to move on. We remain the best of friends and will continue to skate together probably harder and probably more so than ever! I wish him all the best and as a brother, I shall always have his back".

Boulala had a blood alcohol concentration of .162 at the time of the crash. Sadness all around.

The clothing company F54 has just brought on Notorious Nate Sherwood to run their skate team. Legend has it that there is a Nate Sherwood sex tape out there somewhere. I'm pretty sure that is one bit of film that I'd never want to see.

Built To Shred's Jeff King stopped by today with some great news. No longer will Built To Shred be a few minute segment in Fuel's American Misfits show, now it will finally have it's rightful place as a full half hour show on Fuel TV. Check your local listings. Since Jeffery is going to be in front of a camera he's actively trying to find sponsors.  Don't send him any of your crappy product to wear unless it's accompanied by a check. He's after those Green Backs! Hit him up if your willing to pay.

We called a bunch of shops to see if we could get them to host a demo with an all retarded skate team. We had nearly came to the conclusion that skateboarding hates retarded people but then we spoke to nicest skate shop owner ever. This man restored our faith in humanity.






Colin Commito has managed to destroy all of my previous expectations and restore my faith in the future of both our country and skateboarding.
