Gunther: Hey Bobby, what did you do this weekend? After trying to win Wango Tango tickets on the Ryan Seacrest morning show, I went back to bed and watched reruns of Dark Angel on the Sci-Fi network. Was there all day bro. That Alba is one hot looker. Id hit that.
Bobby: For sure Gun, yeah I feel ya. Slap me some skin.
Bobby and Gunther high five each other.
Bobby – Man, I didn’t do much either. I felt bored so I busted out my Snakeboard and snaked all the way down to the video store. Picked me up the entire “Bring It On” series and actually tried to practice the dance moves. Till I tweaked my ankle.
Gunter – Bummer brah!
Do most of your weekends sound like this? Well mine do. After reading about Tony Hawk’s amazing weekend, I feel that I as a Snakeboarding citizen needs to do more for my community. The Tony Hawk Foundation raised over one million dollars last Sunday at the Stand Up For Skateparks event in Beverly Hills. Those millions of dollars are going to help fund quality free public skateparks all over the country. Now that’s making a difference.
Held at an exclusive estate in Beverly Hills, attendees included Tony Hawk, , BMX legend Mat Hoffman, Nomar Garciaparra of the L.A. Dodgers, UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva, Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, and others. The one-day action-sports carnival included games, activities, a special acoustic performance by Social Distortion, and a Vert Demo on Hawk’s personal ramp, where he was joined by White, Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald, Kevin Staab, and BMX riders John Parker and Dennis McCoy.
