Seattle’s SeaSk8 has history, and a blog

I don’t know who is running this, but Seattle’s newest incarnation of SeaSk8 has a blog. There’s not much up there right now as it’s only been active for a handful of days. At the risk of infuriating Bobcat, go check it out. However, if you want to get on his good side, check out […]

Reader DIY: The littlest ramp

I should have titled this “Well, who doesn’t?” after the shot above. Anything I would write about it wouldn’t be as clever as what Adam (last name withheld, because his coworkers spy on him) sent: Digging the site as always. Helps out at work like you would not believe. I try to explain what I […]

Seattle Center skate plaza open (?)

Or at least I have to assume it’s open, although judging by the photos aI got, it’s either wildly unpopular or a very well kept secret. Marek Litinsky is our man on the scene: Hey, so I went up to Orcas this weekend. Turned out I went with bunch of kooks who saw the park […]

Mosaik Board Shop is having a best trick contest and video premier of King of the Road on Saturday, May 9th at the Richland Skatepark in Richland Washington, one of the Tri-Cities… What are the other two? I don’t know. Flyer after the jump.

The Coast and What’s Up

Halifax Canada weekly The Coast, tackled the mounting malaise caused by the Halifax Police departments increasingly draconian enforcement of helmet laws for skateboarders. Whew! That was a mouthful. Sign me up for journalism school. They’ve gone so far as to use undercover police officers in sting operations. The article is aptly titled Skate Free and/or […]

Government issue street spot

This Titan missile silo complex located one and a half hours west of Spokane Washington is for sale. $1.5 million dollars gets you 57 acres, three missile silos, thirteen other underground buildings and the most expensive street skating spot you can find. At least you won’t go to prison for barging it. Looks like a […]
