Potpourri of skateboarding in the media
I can use “potpourri” right? I mean it’s core, isn’t it? Clockwise from the top left. Tony Hawk shows you how to ollie on one of CNN’s iReport videos. Nice PR move, as if an ordinary citizen gained a private audience with Tony in his training facility and captured an impromptu interview. While we’re talking about CNN, I need to repeat how annoyed I am with CNN’s recent fixation on “iReporters” and call in opinions. It’s supposed to be the news, not amateur talk radio. Next: More pool skating mortgage forclosure pieces, this time via the BBC who took a camera crew out for a very, very short video. Rumor has it that the Reader’s Digest is also working on a rehash. Next: Weird Al Yankovic collects Vans… Err, OK. Lastly, the New York Times Home & Garden section highlights a skater owned property that cost a pretty penny. Who knew that the team manager position for Think Skateboards paid that well.

Check your skateboarding at the door. Looks like a nice house but not a rideable transition in the place. Not my dream.
I’m thinking the lady brings home the cash.
I remember seeing somewhere (maybe the Stuntwood film) the architect woman who had done a whole frontyard/driveway skatepark deal for her kids. Seattle, I think. Did I just blow out someone’s spot?
nothing to skate there so its hardly my dream house. id trade the whole fancy victorian shebang for a shack with a quarterpipe on 1 wall.
Weird Al ROCKS!
That looked like Bacon rider Ryan Spaulding in that BBC piece. That guys rips the shit out of pools.
those 2 chicks are HOT
NPR had a special on the radio yesterday on skateboarding Fresno pools that getting skateboarded because of the recession & foreclosed homes. Entertaining. How skateboarders are making the best of the recession or something..
What, no skateable bathtub?
RAD. Jaydog and Clairedog are good people!
