I had to re-vamp some things because I got bummed on the way the site looks. Everything looks better when it leans to the left, so that whole centered thing had to get taken care of.
If you’ve been coming here for a while, you’re probably familiar with my stance of the Slap Message board being arguably the worst thing on earth. Recently though, I found a single redeeming feature of it that actually earned it the honor of getting bookmarked in addition to inciting a non-spamming post about Quarter Snacks on my behalf. Some bright individual came up with the idea of starting a New York City photo appreciation thread, which then led to a gradual uncovering of many long lost photographs I have not seen in years. It takes several pages to filter yourself through the post-2000 photos, but there are still tons of 90s photos that will have you crying about how there are no more spots in New York.
They are gradually beginning to put more info out there regarding the New York Skate Movie, which is now apparently know as Deathbowl to Downtown. Check out their website for some clips, trailers, photos and other info. Still no sign of a release date though.
Steve kindly updated Square Films with his first clip longer than thirty seconds in two years.
Some guy made one of the few worthwhile skateboard blogs I’ve come across. Policeinformer.blogspot.com is filled with tons of 1990s interviews from the likes of Carroll, Mariano, etc. and tons of classic photos/ads, including the best back smith ever, pictured below, and this Ryan Hickey Zoo ad. I broke out the scanner and have some stuff in the same vein coming soon.

Lakai is re-releasing the Staple with some modifications. Daniel Castillo has a pro board. Later.

In response to “you’re all fucking idiots”, post #23 from the Lupe Fiasco jawn, please, show me where in my post I ever suggested that I didn’t understand the definition or function of a corporation? For your own mental benefit, and maybe the next time you try and open your inconsiderate, myopic mouth in a public forum or debate, for one, a corporation need not be publicly traded to be titled a corporation. With that being established, nowhere in my post did I suggest that Supreme was owned by any entity greater than it’s founding shareholders. What I did suggest in my post is that Supreme is, if you were perceptive enough to have read or referenced my previous posts or the topic at hand, a corporate whore, meaning that Supreme plays host to(essentially playing an integral part in the re-birth and facilitation of Nike’s “second coming” to the skateboard market, a move that Nike desperately sought essentially requiring the acceptance of the skateboard community after their first pathetic and failed attempt) and colludes with, those very non-skateboarder owned entities (mainly Nike) that seek to profit from the blessing of acceptance by skateboarders by infiltrating the skateboard market. Now, if we as skateboarders actually had brains in our heads and spines in our torso’s we would have recognized the fact that Nike was looking to break into the skateboard market based purely on profiteering, not because Nike was of the ilk of skateboarders or the brand Nike had skateboarding in mind or as it’s sole(no pun intended) function for making shoes when it began their operations way back there in the 70’s. I said Supreme was a “corporate whore” and neither it, or other corporately owned brands(what I should have said was “non-skater owned brands”, but again if you weren’t paying attention to my other posts, as obviously you were not, that would have been understood as usually that is how we in the skateboard community designate non-skateboarder owned brands) should be embraced, bought or supported by skateboarders. And you better chill on the way you talk to people on the innanet, you ain’t know who knows who on this shit. You go flapping that tongue like you all King shit, talking like you know your ass from your axle. I can tell you have some idea, but that you also have a shit stinking attitude problem and that attitude problem might just be the thing that gets in the way of complete understanding. I’d hate to see that be the case. Don’t get mad cause other nigga’s think you look like a tool in your Supreme gear. It’s only someone’s opinion homeboy. Also, what happened to Stuckupkids?

February 11th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
No, I don’t skate. Yeah I fucking skate, what the hell would I being doing on this site if I didn’t skate? Oh yeah that’s right, I’m gay, I’m looking for hot dudes. And what am I doing to stop all this? Obviously not buying Nike or, like I said, supporting or feeding any money to any brand that is not skater owned or operated. But the main thing that I’m doing is trying to educate fools like you by wasting my time on sites like this. What you think I’m on this message board for my health? Plus, it’s buck ass cold outside as well, so get of my nuts. Read bitches!

I can’t help but to come to the conclusion that a person or person’s that spends so much time and energy calling someone else a certain type or classification of a name or name’s (in this case derogatory synonyms for the word homosexual), must be very familiar with the said genotype themselves that they must either be one or know first hand how to identify one. Either that or they must have what they condemn (in this case homosexuality) on the mind so much and so often that they know right away when one of their own is present. It’s interesting too how easily and how quickly it rolls of the tongue of so many of the posters above. The case here is particularly intriguing because the name callers above can’t actually see the person whom they are alleging is homosexual. Therefore again, I have to conclude that based on what a purported homosexual talks about on a message board, because they know homosexuality so well, either because a.) they are one themselves or b.) they are thinking about it constantly, must be able to identify and condemn one of their own at the drop of a dime. Or should I say pants. Good luck and until next time faggots!
