Online gambling is wack, but I'd love to be able to wager on whether the white dude working out in denim tears at the rec center will be at the skatepark later.

Bunch of nollies in a row in the bike lane. Full speed. Probably didn't look great — felt amazing.

Trying to decide which skateboard I bring to Seattle based on how well the Sabres have played on days close to sessions.

This is a psyop to pull New York Media Twitter into another couple of weeks internecine fighting, and annoy everyone else on here. Like when someone brought up Union Pool.

Negligence is negligence and saying "but I'm old" shouldn't factor into things if your death machine kills four people. We should also be giving people drivers tests at every renewal. I bet it sucks to get some level of personal agency taken away, but fewer pedestrians will get smoked. Take a Lyft.

Guy in one of the first few rows of the most violent hockey games I've ever seen, cheering for the Sabres, is wearing an eS hoodie and brown pants.

I've lived in New York for around twelve years and have never had to pull an "I'm walkin' here". Today I hit the back of a Lyft driver who was going to back into me, yelled at another car trying to barge the crosswalk I was using, yelled at tourists in SoHo who were and blocking the sidewalk, etc.

The last Vans skateboarding employee setting up a multi-tiered seafood tower (carved from a massive block of ice) on the first step of Wallenberg. Curren’s going for sw tre over, and then this guy will hand over a bottle of ‘08 Etienne Calsac on to saber on the rollaway. Vans paid to close school.

One of these years we’re gonna get a face melting part that, between later-than-ever SOTY campaigns and last-minute attempts at SF proving grounds, will drop in the week after they hand off the trophy. Gonna be because of a delayed flight or music rights or something dumb too.

Honestly, having my board shoot into a puddle isn’t the worst thing to happen at the end of November. We’re heading to salt-stained griptape season, and a relatively-new-but-mildly-soggy deck is the best way to skate through the winter.

I sent said guy a politely critical email that circled around “this is why the street skaters are distrustful of this process” a few times. Also, Malmo.

More spines! More curved ledges! More over-polished icy concrete that sucks to skate flat on! More THPS skatepark builder-ass crash up derbies! Why would anyone outside of San Francisco want straight, granite ledges? The world needs 8’ transition!

You know, one of the things I will say about this place: I appreciate being able to say how frustrating it is that the skatepark design process is less democratic than it often boasts to be, and probably not having to worry about getting bit in the ass because the wrong person sees it.

The literary-forward approach is the key to market share. Lurpiv doesn’t have poetry OR a book review, and they’re leaving money on the table.

Ok, so BBS is making trucks now too. Big deal. Wake me up when one of the truck brands that started in the past half year makes the gamble to start a magazine to sell product. Then, I guess, offer me a job at said magazine that offers competitive healthcare for a whole family.
