Somebody actually reads this site. Unfortunately for me, it’s someone whom I just slagged off. Brett, the proprietor of MyCitySkates.com got back to SnA less than an our after the post was made. Maybe I need to look into those cheap press releases. Read what Brett had to say and decide if I was too cynical.

As seen in the Miami Herald: Skateboarder Ryan Sheckler: millionaire and icon at 16. I’m sooooo happy for you. No, really. What’s there to be jealous about, youth, talent, absurd disposable income? At least I have this crappy web site.

TV ratings are down in the Dew Action Sports Tour’s second season, but attendance and sponsorship are up and officials are optimistic. Ok. Not as clever as Do the Dude. Attendance up? That doesn’t mean squat if the ratings are down. Corporate America will pull the plug if you can’t bring home the bacon. They’ve done it before.

Yeah, I don’t know what the hell that means either, but it’s a direct quote from the November issue of Teen Vogue, which has a crush on skateboarders. They’re so dreamy, you know?

Hey Jake, your pictures in the paper! It’s a bad bail shot, oh snap! Photo Editor: Oooh, this is a good shot. There’s lots of action and excitement and good composition. Let’s use this one. OK. Moving on. Nothing conveys the excitement of skateboarding better than an article titled “Supervisors Rethinking Skate Park”! Who are these supervisors and what are they thinking?

It’s just my opinion. That’s all. Skateboards should be screen printed directly is all I am saying. If you are waiting for your Black Label Emergency boards to ship, you shouldnt be waiting much longer. They ran into a problem with the transfer papers which caused a lag on getting them printed. They are supposed to be done and shipping any day now.

Retarded UK video game magazine Edge declares Danny Way better than Tony Hawk. Well, at least it does in a short magazine graphic. The article is about an upcoming Danny Way video game called “Skate” which is also supposed to be Better than Tony Hawk.

The Morning Call Online reports: ” City Cautions, But Won’t Ban Skateboarding.” No big deal. right? Keep reading and you find that one city council member tried to get a ban on sidewalk skating without written permission from the property owner. That ordinance didn’t make the cut, but a city-wide ban on skateboarding at night remains in effect!

Maxtor makes hard drives. Kids these days with their Myspaces and digital cameras and the pirate MP3s need a place to store all their Interweb desktops. Maxtor thinks they can sell them a networked storage drive. They’ve created a web site with a fake family to show off the product. The daughter’s name is Tirin, and she has a dream (other than a real name) and that is to make her own skateboarding website…” Hey Tirin, as this site will prove, any jackass can download Wordpress and make one for free. Duh. I swear I’ll make a real skateboarding post soon.
