Skateboarding and nothing else. When this blog started out I had big plans to open a chain of skateshops, but my search engine optimization firm takes up too much of my time and money as it is. It's hard enough just to maintain this blog. So what this site has turned into is the mixed-up ramblings of a washed-up 30-something skater who can't kick the habit because he's truly addicted. I blog on what I know, which is limited, and sometimes I even write about what I don't know, which comprises a substantially larger body of information.

If you own a skateshop, read this.

Alrighty gents, I used to own a skateshop in the pre-Internet days. I handed out fliers at skate spots. I talked to people. I did everything I could to get the word out, but like you, I didn’t have money to slap up a billboard or anything, so I relied mostly on word of mouth. Luckily, skateshops in that…

Autographed Tech Decks

When I was in junior high I would cut the small deck images out of the mail-order ads in the skate magazines, laminate them with contact paper I had at home, bend up the nose and tail, and then during English class I would “skate” these things all over my desk and books.

But I ended up being sick for the first three months of year, then my wife had a baby, then I had some injuries, and on…

Is the Recession Helping Skateboarding?

I don’t post much anymore, do I? Yeah, I’ve been kind of busy with the day job. And I really need to get a post done for Fortica Skateboards who sent me two decks all the way last year, but between snow, sickness, and injuries I haven’t been able to get out and skate the decks, which I…

Mallard Skateboard Decks

Mallard Clothing is a skateboard clothing company coming up out of the great state of Utah, home to the best snow on earth (if you’re into snow) and a bunch of people called Mormons who are addicted to sugar because they don’t drink or smoke. Mallard also makes skateboard decks, and they sent me an 8.0 recently to…

What Universal Healthcare Would Mean for Skateboarding

Chances are that if you’re the average skateboarder, you don’t know much about politics, and even less about universal healthcare. If all you know is that universal healthcare means everyone has healthcare, then that sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? And chances are you could care less about how the government is going to pay for it. I mean, if…

Dennis Busenitz Needs a New PR Rep

Hey Dennis, I don’t know who this Carrie lady is that you’ve hired to handle your public relations, but I think you need to sit down with her and have a little talk about this email she’s sending around:

Hi Joshua!
