Congratulations to one of Utah’s finest snow and concrete rippers: Adam Compton. Compton married his lovely wife, Jennifer, on September 23, 2006. Good times were had by all those who attended.
We had a little snow scare for a while. It is still warm enough to skate for about another month. All snowboard dorks can kick it on their couches and iron their bandannas for a little while longer. The only 50-50’s you’ll be doing are those Euro fag joints you guys smoke. Adam Dyet was in the running for this years King of the Road M.V.P. Darkstar came in second overall to defending champs Zero. Speaking of Dyet, he also got a first place finish at this years Tampa Neanderthal Brawl. This was a little different for Adam since it was his first mini-ramp contest. He walked away 500 bucks richer and a new title under his belt. Look for his pro-model skateboard in ’07.
Lizard King had a stellar interview in Skateboard Magazine. Sick pictures were taken and he personally destroyed Austin Seaholmes career. Thanks that kid needs to be shot in the face not Terry Kennedy.
2612 Skate Shop in Ogden has changed its location from Washington Street to 25th Street. Check it out bitches.
South Jordan Skatepark has lights now and is open until 10p.m. Keep the spray paint out of the parks.
Snuggles received mass injuries from bombing a hill. Try it next time sober or at least not with a beer in hand.
Indian Hills School is new with sick shit to skate and a hill to bomb. Break the windows and we break your face.
Technique’s DVD should be out by the time you read this. Buy one. WEAST has also hit the black market and even a few shops. If you don’t know you better recognize.
Livity Clothing Company picked up Lizard to sport their hats and hemp. Snow bro Forrest Shearer gots his back for sho’. Ebonics, fool – it’s the only Spanish I know.
Oh yeah, everyone can suck it. Being positive is for some one with AIDS.
PRODUCT REVIEW
Sacrifice: to surrender or give up, or permit injury or disadvantage to, for sake of something else.
The name says it all. This company is out of the Inland Empire and they are not in the game for the money or the fame. They’re in it for you the skateboarder. How they hooked up with Neil Heddings has got me stumped. Neil is currently serving time and doesn’t look like he’ll be skating Burnside anytime soon. Hopefully some of the proceeds from his deck sales go to him. That way he can get some smokes from the commissary or maybe a new prison tattoo.
O.K. as far as the boards go these things are some quality goods. Most of their shapes are made for the older bowl troll types. That means wider, longer and a real sized wheel base. Not those pinner joints you and your friends roll. I’m not sure who presses their boards but it’s a good guess that it isn’t China wood. This shit has got pop. I know cause I rode one of these things to the ground.
This board has a clean shape and is made for the smaller ones. It is 7 3/4 by 31 1/4. Nice clean graphics to boot. If Neil never gets out of prison it is also going to be a great collectors item.
