Does The Hub Have a Website?

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.

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.

Here's a note from Clem:
I don't know how to exactly describe how we feel when we see this type of $h!t. I think bummed, angry, hateful, disrespected, confused, and just straight-up pissed sums it up though. This killer graffiti that reads "Mozart" was done during the Spring Roll on Saturday, April 19th, between 11am and 12:30pm. The painting on the wall is one thing, but ruining those three custom-made mirrors is another. So lame. Anyway, as we mentioned over the mic during the All Ages, there is a $300 reward out for info leading to the culprit. You can remain anonymous by emailing ryan@skatepark of tampa.com.

It's Just a Skateboard Contest
Posted by Rob on
Tue,
Apr

10:00 AM
I have the worst job in the world having to tell kids they can't skate in a Damn Am contest. A lot of them are my friends, too. There has to be a cut off somewhere. This note was just posted on the Damn Am site:
At this year's Damn Am at Minneapolis, the number of entries is now limited to 80 instead of 100 (which ended up actually being 112 last year). We feel that the quality of skating and judging is at a higher level with fewer skaters. Due to this large decrease in spots, there is almost no room for shop/flow riders that got in with video footage in the past. Normally, only legitimate skate companies can put riders into a Damn Am event, not local companies or shop sponsors. Individuals cannot sign up directly, but we'll still be happy to check out your footage to see if we can make something happen. Email Rob @ DamnAm.com with questions.

 This Saturday after the Spring Roll All Ages Contest, check out Tampa Two Stroke and Brixton presenting Art By Scooterists 2 in Transitions Art Gallery behind the Park. That's this Saturday at 7pm. Leave your wallet and fake ID at home. It's free and all ages. Since it's so damn cool to be going green these days, the following day is 4/20 at the Bro Bowl. Join us for a jam at the Bro Bowl from 4:00pm to 4:20pm on Sunday. There's a $420 prize purse to be given out for the best and most creative tricks or even just your average sketchy looking Bro Bowl character. See you there for a smokin' good time.

The Jam is from 4pm to 4:20pm. See you there for a smoking good time, bro. We just finished up filming and episode of the Captain and Casey show on Monday an an episode of the Daily Habit today. This weekend, Lizard King raged his way onto the Skatepark of Tampa Party Team. Photos of that madnesss coming up tomorrow morning.

The way shoes are viewed on the site has changed a little after I spent all day nerding out on a plane re-writing some logic. You now are shown a selection of colorways for the shoe, then when you pick your color, you see sizes in stock where you can then add to your cart. Here's an example: Emerica Andrew Reynolds 3 Shoe.

This
photo of the vert resurrection was taken just a few minutes ago. Schaefer says it will be completely done by the end of the day. For the Skatepark owner loved the vert so much that he gave his only profit margins, so that everyone who skates it with him might not perish but might have eternal life. Amen.

The price increases, well, we haven't increased our prices since we opened so you can't complain too much about that. We can't say what big ass company just bought out SPoT, but the press release has enough details for you to figure it out yourself: SKATEPARK OF TAMPA SELLS OUT AND GOES CORPORATE.
