Ebay Watch: December 2013
December was disappointing this month. It used to be that you would get some bank-breaker decks going off in December, as wives and girlfriends found the perfect xmas gift for their skate obsessed partners! They wouldn’t mind if it was overpriced because they don’t know and better and it’s simply crossing a gift off the […]

Ebay Watch: August-October 2013
So here we have it, the three-month compendium that gets me up to date! I know I know. You wanted three separate ones. But this is the best I could do! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed though, because this was an incredible three-month span. A span which saw the 6-year old high-price record smashed, […]

GVK# 89: Halloween at Burnside
The park still goes off all the time but Halloween is reserved for serious ripping. I did miss a lot of footage us Daddy’s need to take our kiddies out for sticky treats. If this description sounds goofy it’s because there was chicken cooking at my house when I wrote it. It is impossible to […]
