Tuxedo Touches Give Skinny Jeans a Fresh Spin (?)

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?

Local Newspaper Prints Embarrassing Bail Shots, Kids to get Disappointing Lesson in City Bureaucracy.

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?

Halfpipe Honeyz

Halfpipe Honeyz??

I’ve looked at the website (www.halfpipehoneyz.com) but I still can’t figure out what it is or why. It appears to be a site for slutty models who can be booked for events. But it also has skatepark reviews. The latest one gives the Cocoa Beach, Florida park 4 out of 5 stars, and it’s obvioulsy written by a skater. WTF? They even have merchandise (including yoga pants, seen after the jump) and stickers. Anyone have the lowdown on this?

Dogtown in Dogtown Papers

Dogtown Era Over? Duh!

Ah the good old days. Remember that time when Heath Ledger threw all those surf boards at a young Tony Alva? It makes me want to move into a condo. Fortunately, the landlord of the locally famous building that housed the Zephyr Surf shop wants to see it developed into a mixed use facility; Strip malls and condos for everyone! Predictably, Jay Adams (ne De Mornay) mother Rebecca is leading a pack of whiny hippies that say the building is the heart and sole of Santa Monica. Yeah, and so is Huey Lewis when it comes to rock and roll.

Mayor of Harpenden has harassed and threatened a 13-year-old boy.

Mayor in Hot Water for Skate Harassment of 13 Year Old Boy

While not quite as sexy as harassing congressional pages, The Mayor of Harpenden (UK) is under investigation for allegedly harassing and threatened a 13-year-old boy over noise level disputes caused by an allegedly crappy driveway skateboard ramp. I think they call it a car park over there. UK readers, a little help? The inmate numbers in the picture above were added by us, as an editorial statement. I don’t to get sued by a gaggle of flouncy barristers in their funny wigs.

Skater Fake Vomits. Business Owners freak

Fake-Vomiting Skaters Intolerable, Businesses to Engage in Sissy-Fight

Council meeting begins, ends with skateboard issues seems innocuous right? Well, some business owners in Bradford County Florida are butting heads with local skateboarders, with one incident culminating in a fake barfing display. Ahh… what a gold mine. First off, there is the obvious comedy value in fake vomit, reminiscent of the scene in Repo Man where the old lady yells at Otto to pick up the trash can he just drove into. You pick it up! Could this just be civil disobedience in the face of the quagmire of red tape bogging down the local skatepark planning process? We can only hope so. Slightly more disturbing is nuisance tax proposed by the offended businesses who want to legislate the wearing of helmet and pads so that more fines could be levied against skaters. Read how an unruly teenager put the Annoy in Skate and Annoy after the jump, plus more fake vomit than you ever knew existed.

Skateboarding in gym class

It’s just like standing on the ground, except you’re on wheels.

Skateboarding as a school activity has been done before I think. The article at deseretnews.com is pretty standard, with the exception that the program was instigated by 60 year old man who had just learned to skate from a former student who now owns the company Skate Pass LLC. I’m not sure how much actual skating the teacher is doing, so we’ll take that with a grain of salt. The succinct title of this post is a quote from a 5th grade girl in the program.
