Adidas has created a Youtube page that has some pretty good videos on it. We are thinking about getting the shoes in, I will let everyone know if and when that is happening.
The video of Pat Duffy breaking his leg on the mega ramp was on the show scarred. I can’t watch that show, but I wanted to see the Duffy slam. Anyone else that missed it, its available here.
Mark Appleyard:
“I quit Active today due to some disagreements, and I no longer feel I can support them as an endorsed rider. I hope they will move forward and support skateboarding in a positive and fair way for the good of everyone, and in this I wish them the best of luck.”
Geoff Rowley:
“As of immediately, I am no longer able to endorse Active mail order as a team rider. Differences of opinion and direction have been a problem for quite some time and I am quitting for my own ethical reasons. I will be concentrating my focus on my main sponsors, and working with them to support the bigger picture of skateboarding as a whole.”
I just found a high quality version of the Blueprint Belong Tour from a few years back, enjoy.
Everyone that wants to enter the contest needs to fill out this waiver. We will have some in the shop but if you want to do it in advance please print and fill out.
Also note there will be waivers at the contest as well if you haven’t signed up by then.
For some reason I just don’t feel like heading to the shop and playing video games. There is nothing good on tv so I think I might post a lot of links, yeah this site is not only somewhere for all of you to visit when bored its for me when I’m bored as well. Any way I was going to start out by telling everyone that Jeremy Rogers no longer rides for Girl. OK I guess I did start out with that. But what I was way more stoked on was finding the full Lost and Found video on the Blueprint site. Also there is some footage of Danny Brady and Nick Jensen that is well worth more than one watch. The rumors that are going around are that Jeremy will be on Plan B(makes sense to me) or Mystery(doesn’t make sense to me). As for Blueprint I think Robb said it best “they seem to have their act together” look for new stuff from them soon. Also coming in soon, like Thursday soon is new Krew stuff. Ryan Sheckler is now riding the best. Vox has added a legend and an up and comer to the roster. Looks like Krew has a nice new TF , Even Hernandez seems to like it. This next link may not be new but everyone should witness Billy Roper’s destruction of the Gold Rail.I guess thats it for now, stop in and say whats up.
The first shipment of Globe came in today. Mark Appleyard’s new shoe, the Vagrant is available in military green / khaki and black / charcoal. This is a nice looking shoe and it is getting great reviews. For kids there is the Vice SS in white / charcoal, a classic triple stitched model that should hold up through the hardest recess sessions. For more info on the shoes and the United By Fate videos please visit www.globe.tv
Jerry Hsu is on Emerica, as seen on the Emerica site.

New stuff just keeps rolling in. Today we got Etnies shoes, Blueprint/Popwar decks and few sets of trucks. Last week we got Krew and Supra. We still have plenty of Velocity decks but they are going fast. In the next few days we will receive decks from Baker, Zoo York,Plan B, Almost, Blind, Darkstar and Enjoi. Pro-Tec helmets, Trucks and Wheels (all brands) should also be here in the next few days.
Spring is here and things shoud be pretty good in the area. Greenbelt and Olney have both opened skateparks . We will be doing a contest at the Bowie park on May 6th (details very soon). The Dew Tour is coming to Camden Yards in June. The team has been filming so you can expect a new montage in the weeks ahead.
Heres a video on Jerry Hsu and his slams from “Bag of Suck”. It’s approximately 3 1/2 minutes.
Theres a video posted on the Plan B website with Ryan Gallant doing a few tricks. It’s the first one in a series of videos.
Download this HD video of Daryl Angel.. Nothing else needs to be said.
