'Alive' Decks

Eat your heart out Iron Maiden, you may have one vicious axe wielding zombie, but Black Label skateboards have just unleashed a whole army of the things and upgraded their weapons! Does this mean war?

Event notification for 7/7/7

Hackney Olympics are being held at the infamous Bumps on Saturday 7th.

Booze, sun (probably not), skating and a lot of swearing will make this probably the best day ever.

This is a totally unorganised event, so don't expect any product toss, This involves you lot turning up and making it fucking rad.

Turn up at Hackney Bumps from midday and prepare to rip the place to pieces.

28 June: Video Police Brutality to Skaters In Hot Springs USA

Hot Springs police are looking into an officer's actions after an Internet video (See above)appeared showing him choking and assaulting three teens who were skateboarding near the city's famed Bathhouse Row.

Hot Springs police spokesman McCrary Means confirmed Tuesday that Officer Joey Williams stopped the teens on a city sidewalk June 21. Means declined further comment, saying the department would release more information about the arrests later Tuesday.

Suffice to say that my views on this uniformed thug's brutality are winging their way to him.

Hot Springs markets itself as a tourist city. Eight bathhouses that figured prominently in the popularity of Hot Springs as a resort town in the first half of the 1900s are lined up along Bathhouse Row there and it seems that the anyone is welcome provided they aren't a skater.
