That One Fetish People Have...

Mon, May 12, 3:09 PM
On Wednesday, we are getting some more of those things you put on your feet that make certain people wait in line at the butt crack of dawn. This time, our friends and employees are not permitted to make a purchase until all the people who lined up outside have made it inside to get what they want. Good luck and thanks for camping out with us. Red Bull Sarah, can you bring us a case of The Bull for these guys?

I use my board as transportation quite a bit, but I have refused to get a cruiser board up until now because I feel it's some kind of acknowledgement to getting older. Thanks to Chris Peck from Forest Skateboards, I have one dropped in my lap. He's making the SPoTlight crew a cruizer deck. Thanks Peck!
Shorts Are Allowed Every Day in PR

Mon, May 12, 9:00 AM
We were all wearing the exact replica of the best shorts ever made this weekend in Puerto Rico. Nike SB's FL Shorts and Croc Shorts are the remakes of the now extinct Fourstar shorts from the early 90's. It's not always a wise decision to wear shorts in public, but if you ever have to, those are a top pick. Here are a few photos from Puerto Rico: Crashing Tito's Honeymoon In Puerto Rico.

Damn Am Minneapolis: June 6 - 8

The last email from Schaefer about Damn Am at Minneapolis was "They're $200 each, but I will be getting strippers to do the trophies and dunk tank. Hope you guys don't mind." I don't think anyone minds. See you there and if you want your promo in the prize packs and product toss, send it to:

All of you that are sending me video footage to get into upcoming Damn Am Contests might be interested in this. Woodward is doing a contest to give two weeks away, one for a skater and one for a filmer.
Announcing the 1st Annual SPoTlight Am Awards
Posted By Rob
Fri, May 02, 1:09 PM
We have been slowly working on turning the Damn Am events into more of a series that leads up to the end of the year at Tampa Am. Step one was moving Tampa Am to December. Step two is the SPoTlight Am of the Year Awards. SPoTlight Am of the Year awards will take place at ASR in January 2009. It will be based on 2008 Damn Am events and Tampa Am in December. Here are the full details: SPoTlight Am of the Year Awards Announced.
Does The Hub Have a Website?

Wed, Apr 30, 12:37 PM
Have you ever seen a magazine blasted out with advertising all over it's front page? Nope. Well how come everyone's front page on the internet is always blown out with sales pitches and advertising? (skateboarding.com, ahem.) We don't put any ads on our front page, but now while things are slow and there's not much going on here, I put two rotating banner ads for various stuff in our online store to your right. Sorry for the intrusion. It's only temporary.

I finally had a weekend with nothing to do in Tampa. I didn't venture far out from my neighborhood, especially since The Hub is so close by: A Downtown Tampa Chill Cam Dump.

Some people on the Internet have said some nice things about this little website we got going here. Check out Skatepark of Tampa is Smarter Than Everybody and Skate Popularity Contest. Glad someone else finds the numbers game so interesting like I do.

There is no chance in hell of Jim Greco or his make-up showing up at Copenhagen Pro, but Camilla still gives it a shot to try to get him there in this funny Jim Greco interview.

Hollywood Aftermath

They're like the lead singers and I'm like the drummer that just stays in the background. The episode of the Daily Habit that Schaefer and Clements filmed while we were out of control in Hollywood is airing on Monday, April 28 at 9pm Eastern time. As for the Captain and Casey Show, I still don't know how they're going to make an actual TV show out of that chaos.
