  We’ve all seen the monumental EA trailer for the upcoming skateboarding video game SKATE 2 starring practically every single skater known to man, except for Tony Hawk.  I think he was busy that day dancing around in his briefs.  But basically, it looks like EA, in an attempt to keep video ...

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Everyone loves the 80’s.  Who doesn’t love that decade?  The music was awfully awesome, the films were carefree and light, and the style.  You can’t beat the style.  Everything from the JHERI CURL to the PANTS was fresh and that decade can never be duplicated again.  Even people who weren’t ...

A New Milestone For Skateboarding

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

I know what you’re thinking.  Just because Tony Hawk rocked out in a room full of tight whitey-wearing jocks doesn’t make it a landmark moment for skateboarders let alone skateboarding in general.  That was an embarrassment to tell you the truth.  You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to ...
