2.1.05 conspiracyafter 18 years of skateboarding, i got a board sponser, conspiracy skateboards, right here in denver. im stoaked, im riding a pushead glow in the dark 8 1/4. i see some good trips and times in the future. speaking of good trips and times, colin wrote sideways about our trip to hailey. 1.12.05 fairplay coloradothe town of fairplay has proposals out for a skater design/build team to make their concrete park with pool coping, true vert and challenging obstacles. thank you fairplay for being educated on how to get a great skatepark. hit it up this fall. 12.25.04 skatecoloradoi dont know if ive mentioned on this site that i do alot of work on another skate site, skatecolorado.com but its getting loaded up with images, and recently some kickin gear 12.12.04 world record madonnabeaz sent me this photo of lincoln ueda ripping a large madonna. 10.1.04 become a benefactor of a bowlthe guys at the tylenol bowl in nyc are looking for some donations. "The benefits of support are endless." check out the site 9.14.04 random shortsrick and buddy have a new video out called random shorts. of course theres lotsa great pool skating and crazy music, but the most interesting thing about this video is all the wacky spots theyve hit over the years. its a wild ride through some crazy obstacles with ripping skaters. 9.5.04 wheres the beef?ive seen some articles here and there about the carbondale run, and they lack some interesting points. for instance, tim johnson from fl was the ripper of the event, killing it saturday evening. tony truillio spit a hot dog in a fans face and then had to run and involve police in order to not get beat up by the 19 year old. the beer tent was the place to be and aaron drank the most beers. the cat fight in the mud was good. the skating in the rain was insane. rolling in off the top of the tube was a grand spectacle. both the town of carbondale and the guys at thrasher think they got ripped off/ conned from one another. 8.24.04 jaketopiathe carbondale run was like a more public version of brewce martins infamous skatopia bowl bashes. people came from all over and had a blast despite the rain and police presence. if you weren't there, you missed out, but if you've never been to a skatopia party, then you're really missing out. 7.31.04 geeheres that mark gee model i was talking about down there somewhere. 7.31.04 willyheres a sequence from Mark Nikula of will from sOr at an Am contest years ago. no judges table
is safe from willy. 7.29.04 san rafaelThe san
rafael bowl is done! but the rest of the park is still under way. I know
that I was told that this bowl has pool coping, but of course...NO, but it
has similar coping to Denver... And it is big, 1.5 of vert with 8.5, 6
shallow, 10 deep, and looks perfect. 7.19.04 washington streetall the pours are done and all thats left is adding some coping here and there. 7.19.04 id rather see stedhamstedhams been around denver pushing boards from his revived company Stedham Skate Industries. word is hes not skating, yet. ill take a steve stedham comeback over a christian hosio comeback. stedham rules. 7.6.04 dreamlandalways has been and will probably always be my favorite skatepark builders. theyre blowing it up in idaho. kuna, outside boise, has killer snakerun. so much fun, a must hit if your near hailey. speaking of hailey, thats reds home park for the next 3 months as he builds a park 12 miles north in ketchum. over j4 i saw him trying to air to grind the handrail on top of the fullpipe, a feat easily as nuts as the loop.....
7.6.04 site designthese guys are all over the place lately (and so am i). the new encinites y crete is good, almost too good. now all the vert jocks can skate a huge kidney pool. the clover there is fun also. and glendale, lets just say that park is ridiculously good. they teamed up with ben schroeder and made the best use of space ive ever seen at a skatepark. lotsa pool coping and oververt there! i also hit up layton near salt lake, and that park is loads of fun. the clover is epic, containing a killer oververt pocket as well as death box. the flo course is addicting. so what the fuck happened in fairmont (salt lake city)? the city wont open the park because they wont pass it off as a skatepark because the locals see the crap they got. apparently site design designed the park and wanted to much to build it. so the city got a bunch of amateurs to build it and they fucked it up big time. terrible concrete work. so untill its jacked and redone the police will continue fining kids for skating in the park. no ones winning here..... 7.6.04 jacksonville, orjville is finally getting its addition. dawkins is building deep and steep in the new section, and the old section has some revisions. 7.4.04 fdrJ4i dont know the full story of anything, but alot of trouble has been going down at the fdr skatepark lately, especially over july 4th when the big party got pretty out of hand and raided by police. apparently it might get dozed.... 7.1.04 tent cityis already the best selling video delux ever put out.... 6.28.04 carbondale runthe hell crew is holding an invitation only contest in carbondale. everyone else who wants a piece of the action will have to enter a preliminary contest and fight for the one spot for the big jam. its the boost mobile all over again, the cool way to do contests? danny way and bob burnquist are both rumored to be coming... thats pretty hellish 6.8.04 kent dahlgrens nontestHave you heard of my plans for a Burnside Blowout? I'm going to put $1000 of my money into a Donald style "nontest,"meaning, a balls out snake session. He or she who earns the loudest applause gets the prize. Shooting for July. Would love to have some of the OG like yourself there. 5.28.04 k o t rguess thrashers havin another king of the road contest for companies that can get a team and the entry fee. i still say for this to be a real road trip contest anyone should be able to enter, fuck paying thrasher to tell you you had a rippin time. the arvada army will be in carbondale showing how the working class skates. |
