Vote for GVK Kontest winner
June 17th, 2008 by Kilwag
All right, lets get this taken care of. I’ve got some poll software installed and now it’s time to vote for the winner of the GVK Photo Kontest. The prize package includes a skateboard of our choice and a bunch of random stuff. I thought we’d see more entries than we got, maybe we should have made a bigger deal about the prize. I’ve learned a few things from this contest, and I’ve already got an idea for the next one. Voting ends at Midnight, Pacific time, on June 22nd.

The system is imperfect. It would be nice to have the checkboxes next to the images, but I can’t do that easily without messing with some more plugins, so we’ll have to make do. Make sure you click the pictures to enlarge! Voting ends at Midnight, Pacific time, on June 22nd.

You can vote once a day. No ballot stuffing!
VOTING IS OVER!
Here are some entries from Mark Conahan, who is obviously disqualified from entering. I think he was trying to stoke everyone.

I voted for myself… lame, I know… but all things are fair in love and cold war.
June 18th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Look at the Grovefather.. no one can touch him! Maybe he has made the voters “a deal they can’t refuse” lol!

Kvon, the Grovefather does not ask for a second favor after he is denied the first.

Skate and Annoy sucks, and Kilwag should do himself and the industry a big favor and go fuck himself with a sp[ikey dildo soaked in AIDS, or just kill yoursellf you fucking cocksucker.

Sorry folks, I just broke up with my secret boyfriend at ASU, and he doesn’t seem to be taking it too well.

Interesting enough, the IP address that came from traces to Arizona State University, and I have coincidentally been getting heated emails today from someone at Genghis Skate over alleged venomous swill. Their headquarters are in…. Phoenix Arizona! ASU has a Phoenix campus as well.

I think Josh is pissed that I didn’t take his product more seriously:
Shortly after I replied to him that he was overreacting, it wasn’t a review, the photos were from the PR spam he sent and were credited and linked, etc… the nasty “KilwagTheFag” comment appeared. I did some investigating, and presented some facts.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:46 am
what part of ‘Annoy’ didn’t he understand? my next question is for Josh, if you see a terd on the sidewalk do you?…………………………………………
A) poke, prod, sniff, and taste, to verify it is indeed a piece of shit ?
B) assume from your prior years of experience that what you are looking at is a terd and avoid accordingly ?

For a computer science major at ASU, he’s not too bright. Duh!
June 19th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Good old Josh, you can tell he did his homework, “Founder Josh Madsen, an ASU junior in computer science engineering, got hooked on longboarding while visiting a friend in Austin. Though he wrecked badly on that visit, he stayed interested and realized that longboarding and skateboarding had not made many technological advancements since their inception in the 1950s and 1960s.” ……….NO Technological advancements in almost 60 years?!?! having only skated 25 of those years myself, i have personally witnessed quite a bit of ‘technological advancement’, Rodney Mullen Developed ‘Street trucks’ that have no turning geometry no matter how hard you lean, perfect for the modern street skater who only skates in relatively straight lines. Powell developed a new Urethane compound that is amazing to ride in today’s modern, butter smooth, cement parks, or even the fact that Urethane wheels were a ‘technological advancement’ of the seventies. All the different Board Materials developed over the years, while some are better than others, would also seem to constitute ‘technological advancement’ in skateboards, I would go on, but I hope someone with the Intellectual power of our Computer Science Major, Josh, would be capable of using ‘Google’ to do a search and learn something poignant and useful.

sorry someones bashing you on the site kilwag. when you put out lame equipment expect a bad review, Josh.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Crybaby shit, so damn child.
Im sure that message did wonders for their marketing plan. BTW, my 13 yr old nephew called and wants his clever bag of “AIDS & faggot” retorts back. He also wants to know if anyone is down to smoke weed out of an empty pop can w/him….
June 19th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
i love the way this website is full of people just waiting to ANNOY those that feel like they have been wronged in some way
June 19th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
uhhh i’ll smoke with your kid
June 19th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
ok, but i only smoke swag when using empty pop cans
June 19th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Let me get this straight (or gay)… You mean to tell me you’re a “professional” Kilwag?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
I found that funny too. A
June 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
…appealing to your pride as a legitimate journalist.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I never made that claim, but I found it amusing. I get all kinds of emails form people and organizations that think there is a paid staff here. It’s a compliment, really. How I wish it were true.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Hey! There are good people in Arizona! We’ve got readers there. There are morons in every state.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I agree, some of my best friends are Arizonians-ist. Best skateparks in the nation probably.
But that whole state is a mess and I wouldnt live there again even if it depended on a limb being amputated….
Even if life came to a post apocolyptic-”waterworld” and it were one of the last land refuges with pure water……
Even if I were sentenced to life there and it was a state-turned-penatentary like Snake Pliskan. You get the idea…I watch movies too much.

What if gangs take over the highways and the MFP can’t save you from the Night Rider and Toe Cutter?
June 19th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Thats silly. Mad Max would save/avenge me and the night rider is dead. Remember him..when you look at the night sky.
June 19th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
fuck….im a dork.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I had a Cold War sighting at Movie Madness! I saw little boys carrying Cold War decks that were nearly as big as them.
June 19th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
WINNER: AZ STIll TRYING…
June 19th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
O yes, that AZ STILL TRYING.. is one silver tounged devil indeed and he rides so hard and strong. Not bad on board either, that handsome kook.
