With the passing of days and months, the seasons change. From winter to spring, from spring to summer, these bones thaw out. Skating in Utah is hard in the winter, but let's face it, skating is hard, period - hard as fuckin' nails. Here's shit to ponder for the new season. New beginnings (time to start over, never too late to change)
New breath (quit smoking, you'll skate better)
New life
New column
New writer
New developments
New dreams (never quit dreaming)
New realities
New aspirations
New plans
New road trips (the only way to trip, fool)
New highs and lows
New fetishes (whatever floats your boat)
New goals (see your future)
New breed
New blood
New Jacks (not jackasses)
New pain (skating hurts)
New cuts, scrapes and bruises
New tattoos (please shop for these at Lost Art only)
New newborns
New newlyweds (congratulations James and Angela Atkins of St. George, Hellrose Fame 04.29.2006)
New pros (Lizard King "Green Room Bitch")
New videos (RL III "True Passionate Thugs," OSH building at the U of U, June 23, full article next month. Thank you Mr. White and Tenelle)
New contests (contests suck)
New school (if you use these together, get fucked - X-Games are in July, kid)
New parks (Clearfield, Northern Utah)
New season of Sopranos ("Hey, you wanna pass me the fuckin' gobbly goo?")
New Will Smith CDs for those who truly get jiggy wit' it
New spots (commercials)
New vigilante trannies and mannies (thank you Andy Pitts and Mike Murdock)
New tricks (even if they're old)
New president (impeach that scum)
New fads and fashions (if your pants are too tight and you're sagging, you're fucked - X-Games are in July - you look dumb and your parents hate you. Kill yourself now.)
New boards
New trucks (independent lows finally)
New wheels
New bearings (Swiss only, if you want to move)
New shoes (all the above can be bought at Milosport, thank you Josh Roberts)
New whips
New cribs (6th and F, article next month)
New companies
New friends
New cameras
New angles
New fuckin' attitude (Skating like every day of the week is new, even if you're old, don't waste it ... we are the next dinosaurs)
It is my sad honor to tell you as of April 22, skateboarding lost a true icon and pioneer. Fausto Vitello has passed on. He will be missed by the masses. For those too young to know, he is the founder of Thrasher Magazine, owner of Street Corner Distribution which is Think Skateboards, Hubba Wheels, Slap Magazine, Independent Venture, Thunder, Lucky Bearings, City Skateboards and others. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
