Seattle tips on skateboarding

The Seattle Times has two articles on skateboarding, the first is an actually fairly good piece on skatepark etiquette that is filled with good advice, although it’s perplexing because I’m not sure who the audience is. I especially like the first rule, “No free day care.” Up next is the top 10 skateparks in Washington, which I can’t agree wit, but can’t disagree too strongly because I haven’t been to some of them. Bobcat?

– Thanks to John Aguilar and Heidi Randall for the tips.

  1. pretty good article for one. scares me since it’s actually written (or ghost-written) by a skater. none of the ‘gary performs an axle stall of the ramps edge’ stuff we usually get. Anyhow i made my version here: http://www.sleestak.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=79713 It sucks, I suck and if you read it you will probably suck as well.

    So, “no free day care”. clicked on it and the article was good.

    Then clicked on “10 top skateparks in Wa” and you pretty much said it.

    “Heidi Randall”.

    Whats missing?

    Uh Heidi Randall is missing Goddammit!
    No Heidi in a thong eating a banana split, while doing the splits, No gratuitous ass shots of Heidi laying on her stomach on some longboard or some-such-shit.
    And really screwed the pooch with no Heidi in pigtails, pulling down the top of her swiss miss girl costume to expose the voluptuous source of her dairy!

    Instead I got some boring ass page I think it was broken but I dunno, I tend to forget things when I am handed down the cruel disappointments of promises unfulfilled.

    Anyway WTF Randy, W-t-f. I’m emailing you pictures of what I expected and you can just work them into monday morning’s posts with some sort of montage,some how. Post-Haste!
