Some Nerd Just Nollie Hardflipped The Bench

Wed, Aug 20, 12:52 PM

Things have been busy. No time for the site, but for now, check out this Bo Turner interview. For all you kiddies, Bo used to be pro for Workshop and was a local back when the Skatepark was also living quarters for much of the staff and Brian Schaefer, the owner.

Thanks For Dinner, Energy Drink Company

Sun, Aug 17, 5:06 PM

I'm super late for that energy drink's wheelie contest that's happening right now. Before I take off, here are some photos and a story from Clem on our NYC adventure so far: Back to the Banks 2008 & A Few Days in NYC.

$70 Hats On Sale

Thu, Aug 14, 3:43 PM

Two new companies have stuff in the Skatepark of Tampa Shop: LRG and Macbeth. All their stuff is also on sale this weekend for the Back to School Sale.

First Ever After-Party With Milk And Cookies

Thu, Aug 14, 3:09 PM

This past weekend after the All Ages Contest, there was an Altamont Back to School Bash After-Party down in Ybor where it seems most of the people there were born in the late 90's. Sorry I missed it. Here are some photos and words from Clem:

See you there.

Hate Shopping? Me, Too. Hopefully This Makes It Easier

Thu, Aug 14, 9:51 AM

There are currently thousands of things on sale right now, so I wrote a report that will hopefully help you quickly find the most discounted stuff. It lists the top products in each of the most popular categories that have the biggest discounts like these Krew watches that are over $100 off or these Abington shoes or this SB Military jacket that are over $50 off. Right now all orders get some pretty decent free stuff, too. If it will fit in your box, we throw in a free current copy of Skate Book, among other things. Happy bargain hunting.

Girls' Clothes All The Way Off Please

Wed, Aug 13, 5:43 PM

The online staff and I are about to take it straight to the ASS (Asian Sweat Shop - online order packing) because of this huge Back to School Sale. It starts tomorrow and goes through Monday. Since stuff that's already on sale is even further on sale, some stuff is as much as 70% off. I like it when girls' clothes are 70% off, too. Still trying to figure out how to get girls' clothes 100% off.

It Was Nice Visiting Tampa For A Few Days

Wed, Aug 13, 4:23 PM

This weekend Bristol, Porpe, Frosty, Schaefer, Clements, Barak, and I are going to New York City. Some of us are simply on the lurk and some of us are going for sketchy skateboard industry bid'niss affairs. We are all going early so we can check out Back to the Banks on Saturday at the Brooklyn Banks. Watch for full coverage of that here. The next day is that one contest that fired SPoTlight Productions that ran it last year. I guess we might be at that if they let us in.

Where's The Mongolian BBQ Photos???

Wed, Aug 13, 2:46 PM

Clements gave me a good laugh with his banter about the Altamont Back to School Bash Contest photos.

Big Al!

We Need More Nerds

Tue, Aug 12, 11:38 AM

Barak took over for me on the geek-out number crunching this weekend and has the results for the Back to School Jam posted. Derewenko took over for me behind the lens. Photos coming up later. In the meantime, check out details about a photo show Derewenko's doing.

Angel has some more photos for you, this time from the Altamont Demo and Steaz Bowl Jam last Friday night. Looks like it was a fun time. Check out this Altamont SPoT shirt.

Leaving Was A Lot Easier Than Getting In

Mon, Aug 11, 2:54 PM

The Canadian border patrol guys were really trying to sniff out if we were here for work. There's no way this counts as work. It's 100% good times: Canadian Damn Am 2008. See you all next year, eh.

Officer Doofy Did Another Rain Dance

Sat, Aug 09, 9:48 PM

The Finals got rained out for the First Annual Canadian Damn Am so we had to go with the Qualifier Results as the Final Results. Top 12 get a spot in Tampa Am 2008 in December. Top two go directly to the Semi-Finals. Here are full results: Canadian Damn Am 2008 Final Results. Best Trick went down in the rain. Sketchy: Street Best Trick Results.

Canadian Damn Am Heats

Fri, Aug 08, 8:43 PM

For tomorrow's Canadian Damn Am Street Qualifiers, there are 11 jams. You get one intro run followed by an 8 minute jam with four skaters. Your run is 25% of your score and the jam is 75% of your score. There are five judges. The high and low scores are dropped and the remaining three are averaged to get your final score. Here are the Jam Heat Sheets. Someone please do an anti-rain dance for tomorrow, eh. Thanks.

So We Can Figure Out Who the Fastest In the World Is

Fri, Aug 08, 12:28 AM

Someone from the New York Times asked to use some photos from the site today so they could put together this skateboarding and the Olympics piece. Gonz, Tony Alva, and Todd Jordan put in their two cents.

You Can't Read it on the Crapper Anymore

Check out this note I just got from Slap Magazine.

Unwelcome to Canada, Eh

Thu, Aug 07, 5:36 PM

Schaefer and I had another sketchy encounter at the Canadian border yesterday when we arrived in Vancouver, but this time they actually let us in as opposed to the last time where they handed us an $800 tax bill and told us to go back home. Check out some chill shots: A Random Chill Cam Dump From Vancouver. Clem stayed home to hold things down at SPoT. Today, make sure to wish him a happy tail block, I mean birthday.

The Boss Is Coming. Look Busy.

Thu, Aug 07, 1:38 PM

This weekend (when ANDREW REYNOLDS is at SPoT!), there's a 20% off sale on all Altamont stuff. If you're thousands of miles from SPoT like I am right now, you can still get in on the sale online. It's from Friday through Sunday.

I Need To Brush Up On My Canadian Stereotypes, Eh

Mon, Aug 04, 7:34 PM

This weekend in Tampa is the Altamont Demo on Friday (Andrew Reynolds is going to be here!!!) followed by the Steaz Bowl Jam and of course the Back to School Bash Contest on Saturday. Don't forget, you can only register online. There's also an After-Party in Ybor. DJ Colonic will put a tube up your butt. Unfortunately, I am missing all of that. Also this weekend is the Canadian Damn Am right outside of Vancouver in a town called Burnaby. If you can't make it or you get denied at the border after being detained for nine hours like the last time I tried to go to Vancouver, you can watch the whole thing on a live webcast at Skateboard.com. Full details on the Contest are at DamnAm.com. See you there.

I love NYC. I’ve only been there a few times in my life, but I hold those few times pretty damn close to my heart. Maybe it makes me feel like more of an American or something...

This year, the Damn Am added a new stop in Vancouver, Canada. Check out the full results and coverage here:

Rob and I took the flight out to LA to watch the world’s most extreme gathering of athletes and industry kooks in the world, the X-Games. You can’t keep us away from watching good skateboarding...

Have you ever heard of Red Bull's Flugtag? If you haven't, it was confusing to me the first time I heard of it, too. Basically, you make a flying craft...
