Osiris Shoes and IPS Skateshop Present: Feed The Need

Tonight In Hood River!

Sure, he was hit by a train and lived, but was he wearing a helmet?

In Oregon, the Lake Oswego Observer reports that a kid named Kosh McClure was hit by a train while skating and lived to tell the tale. Kosh McClure didn’t know how close he had come to dying until he awoke on a sidewalk on State Street. “I was laying on the ground and I couldn’t […]

Grind for Life 2007 – Saturday November 17

It’s time for the annual Grind for Life awards benefit/contest/demo/party. If you are anywhere near the neighborhood of Cocoa Beach Florida you should consider making a day of it. Dan Hatcher writes: Hey everyone, if you missed this one last year, you must have heard about it by now. Nearly 1500 attended last year so […]

Helmet safety for the kiddies

With all the recent posts about Jake Brown and those parents in Medford being idiots indicted, this helmet safety video from Danger Rangers couldn’t have come at a better time. Danger Rangers is horribly cheesy cartoon designed to teach kids about safety. How cheesy? It looks like they spent more money on animating their web […]

Retailers will seize anything popular to make an extra buck with holiday tie ins, which leads us to these two skeleton skateboarding shirts I bought for my two year old son. On top of that, he didn’t need to get out the white […]

Know your rights: Free Tigard

We are now accepting donations for the “Know your rights” outreach program for the users of the new Tigard Skate park, whose posted rules state that anybody that remains in the skatepark consents to having their personal belongings searched. This money will go towards having stickers printed up that will be given away to riders […]

Mad (Magazine) about skateboarding.

MAD Magazine and skateboarding. Two pleasures of my youth, one of which I eventually grew out of. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a recent copy of MAD Magazine in 10 years. Are they still in print? (I guess so.) Actually, I’m assuming this is from MAD, maybe it’s from Cracked… In any case I […]
