Reader D.I.Y. from the U.K. This spot first started with something called the rainbow ledge, a curb that kind of looks like a rainbow. It’s apparently mostly a one man operation, or at least it has been in the past. I don’t know where this guy finds all these curved preformed concrete curbs, I want one. There’s some videos after the jump, but you might as well head on over to the Rainbow Ground to catch all the pictures, including construction phases. – Thanks to G-S-E PC for the tip.

Year # 2 has started a great saturday BBQ/SSSS. The unofficial caretaker of Pier Park (Mike Swim) has the saturday session rolling again. So bring your meat and pads and take a dip in the deep end with the grown-ups, but most of all bring your meat skills. Swims Saturday Skate Session (Pier Park)

Kiss Online reports that some new Kiss flavored skateboards and fingerboards are coming. I know those guys are obviously business savvy enough to flog this dead horse all the way to the bank, but come on guys, where are the permalinks? – Thanks to Andrew Wahl for the tip.

…which will come in handy this weekend if she wants to work on these DIY projects. Marginal Way in Seattle has a benefit this Saturday Sunday and Brooklyn Street Skate Spot in Portland is having one this Sunday, which is Mother’s day… so yeah, bring your mom I guess. Saturday.
