Scumbag Thieves Targeting Portland Skateshops

A 3 man crew of hardcore assholes is targeting Portland skate shops. The jackasses pulled 3 smash and grabs in the past couple of weeks. The losers targeted Cal Skates Skateboards, Commonwealth Skateboarding, and most recently, Smart Collective. These are small business owners who are being hit.

Two Things To Make You Mad, One to Make You Happy

It looks like the long, protracted war is finally over as Skateboarding will be proposed for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, so it’s pretty much a fait accompli. The International Skateboarding Federation is excited about it. Who is in that federation, some notables for sure. Also, the Telegraph definitely thinks I’m too old to skateboard. […]

Dipshit accidentally kills pedestrian, sets skateboarding back 50 years.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports: CAPITOLA – A 17-year-old boy riding a skateboard downhill Tuesday hit an 83-year-old woman crossing the street. The Capitola woman later died in a San Jose hospital, authorities said. Apparently the kid saw the lady at the last minute and tried to avoid her, but that’s not good enough is […]

Property, intangible

Some people like to geek out on skateboard paraphernalia, while others like to geek out on intellectual property rights. Our worlds have collided. If you know Zorlac you probably know it was sold some time in the late 80’s, with Jeff Newton remaining on in some capacity, but the company definitely had an altered vibe. […]

Kansas City police and media stumped, obviously not radical

In this amusing video you can hear the newscasters baffled, scratching their heads trying to figure out why anyone would bother to steal all the parking blocks from a parking lot. Even the business owner is shocked that the more valuable items in the window were left behind. There really is a glaringly obvious reason… […]
