LAST TIMES AT CARLSBAD HIGH CONTEST

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 04:15:18 +0000

Madison square garden, Yankee stadium, Rucker Park, and Carlsbad High School. These are some of the most recognized sports venues that exist. Unfortunately, for skateboarders one of the most famous spots in history is going to be torn down sooner then later. The history of the Carlsbad gap runs deep into the 90’s. It was a secret spot in the two of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. Everyone remembers Andrew Reynolds nollie 360 from This Is Skateboarding or Chris Cole’s backside 360 kickflip in Ride the Sky. From Jeremy Wray’s switch back 180 to Billy Marks switch fs big heel, this is a spot that has made some careers and broken others. No one knew who Furby was until his nollie back heel. The Carlsbad gap has a way of catapulting some into the spotlight. Carlsbad has also been the place to throw down your signature trick. People like Erik Ellington whose B/S bigspin solidified that if you wanted to learn that trick you wanted to do it like Ellington. If you do it down Carlsbad then you lay claim to a spot in history. Yet again, the powers that be are going to ruin a perfectly good skate spot…but before they do, DC shoes and Transworld decided to thow an AM contest called Last Times at Carlsbad High….check the footy from Transworld below.

NIKE TIGER WOODS COMMERCIAL WITH VOICE OF HIS FATHER EARL WOODS

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 04:51:41 +0000

I really don’t know what to think about this new Tiger Woods Nike commercial that I saw today. The commercial is a black and white video of Tiger looking straight at the camera with this apologetic look on his face and His late father speaking in the background. His father, Earl says, “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive…to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are…and did you learn anything?”. Part of me was kinda like…wow, that was pretty deep and artsy…I guess I feel bad for the dude. Part of me was like…wow…how can he sit there and act like he is sad to the camera for a commercial…He’s faking it. Part of me was like…Wow, Nike really needs to restore his appeal to start making money off of him again…and part of me was like…man, Tiger is starting to look old…I guess major sex scandals, constant media attention, your wife leaving you along with most of your sponsors can really age you. I kinda think people should just forgive him and let him start playing golf again. What do you think?

OK SKATE PLANS TO LAUNCH NEW WEB STORE

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:49:02 +0000

OK Skate will be launching their new web store in May 2010. They will also have a physical store that will be opening around the same time located in Rancho Cucamonga CA. OK Skate is the latest brain child of Shane Wallace the former CEO and main man behind Active ride shop. The online store is looking to compete with the likes of Active and CCS, while the physical store is going to be Rancho’s top skate shop. The physical store is fronting a huge warehouse complete with upstairs offices, photo studio and an epic miniramp. Both the online and physical stores will be carrying top brands including Supra, Alatamont, Emerica, Matix, and your favorite VIERA brand. If you get the opportunity to make it out to the physical store be sure to peep the window and check out the unique mini ramp that Joey Coleman helped design. It is being built by California Skateparks the same group of mechanical geniuses behind the BERRICS and Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory. You might be lucky enough to witness a skate session. Some of our homies are going to play big roles in this new venture. Joe Q is heading up the graphic design department, while Joey Coleman is going to be holding down the main buyer and store manager position. Be sure to check out their website for the chance to win a girl or chocolate board every month for a year!
