Clyde Singleton posted up one of the oddest things today… Would you just take a look at that outfit?!
Here’s Thrasher magazine’s take.

Skatebook vs Transworld
It’s good to see some old fashioned Roccoesque Skateboarding business going down. Would you like a free copy of Skatebook? Why yes… Yes I would! Thanks Skatebook!
Skateboard Wraps
We were trying to think of when the dude that makes Skateboard Wraps thought of his idea… Best guess?
We ask that you please use discretion when creating your art. We will not print any pornographic images.
The no pornographic images thing pretty much leads us to believe that it isn’t a Skateboarder running it.

Ryan Sheckler’s Ideal Girlfriend?
We’re guessing it’s a good idea to put all your women in check up front. Pro-Hos will adapt to anything though. How many pro-hos read Seventeen Magazine? Who cares?

Tony Hawk’s Big Spin
This new roller coaster, made by Gerstlauer in Germany, is patterned after the moves of professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. Instead of zipping along on tracks where each time you ride you move in the same pattern of ups, downs and arounds, this roller coaster has cars that spin as if you’re free-styling on a skateboard. None of the spins match each other so each time you ride, the experience is different.
Tony Hawk’s Big Spin roller coaster
We stopped dissing Tony Hawk out of respect. But we are more than capable of dissing Gerstlauer (The manufacturer), for making the ride only 45-50 feet tall. Just goes to show you that the marketing is directed toward children.

The Future of Skateboarding
The future of Skateboarding isn’t going to be digital. You might want to see how fast EA Games’ Skateboarding future is progressing though. How much loot you suppose these guys can rake out of Skateboarding‽

How bad does this website look like Emerica’s Website? A LOT!
Pretty interesting if you ask us.
Olympic Skateboarding
Tony Larson at The Art Dump pointed out a story about Skateboarding being in the 2012 Olympics.
The IOC does not recognize an international skateboarding federation, so the sport would first need to be adopted as a discipline under the UCI umbrella. After that, the UCI could make a formal proposal to the IOC for its inclusion in the Olympics.
We like the words Skateboarding as a Discipline.
