What's Up Posts Made 6/2007

Vert Results
Posted by Rob on Sat, Jun 30, 4:13 PM
This Vert Contest was off the damn charts. Amazing high energy, a crazy huge rowdy ass crowd, free beers for everyone, and 9 out of 10 people drinking and smoking and slamming anything they could after some of the most ripping runs ever. Unbelievable. Here are the Qualfier Results. The Finals were RETARDED. Watch for photos and a story sometime tomorrow.

Copenhagen 2007 Day Two and a Half
Posted by Rob on Fri, Jun 29, 6:15 AM
I called yesterday the second day we were here, but it was really the first. We've been doing so much each day it feels like more than one day. I have been put in check with a rolled ankle, though. Lame. More chilling: Copenhagen Day Two and a Half.

Go Skateboarding Day News Coverage
Posted by Rob on Thu, Jun 21, 4:07 PM
Here's some mainstream news and photos about GSD today. 50 cops were waiting at the Bro Bowl this morning for us at 9am. Everyone is going to ghetto gap at 5pm today for the Best Trick Contest. Can't give you directions because Officer Doofy will show up with his crew. If you skate, you know where that's at and we'll see you there. Photos and a story from today will be up either later tonight or in the morning.

Here's video footage of the news story about Go Skateboarding Day tomorrow.
Doofy Update
Posted by Rob on Wed, Jun 20, 9:45 PM
I just saw this photo of Clements and this photo of Lako on a commercial promoting the news tonight on NBC that's doing a story on Go Skateboarding Day. They say the cops are ready for us. Tomorrow would be a great day to rob a bank while we keep the Doofies busy. The story will be on NewsChannel 8 tonight at 11pm. Here's a local news story about tomorrow.
Office Doofy Reporting For Duty
Posted by Rob on Wed, Jun 20, 8:57 PM
"TPD has an operational plan in place and will be deploying a large force to prevent this group from getting into the downtown core or skateboarding anywhere in the downtown area. Violators will be charged, arrested if necessary, and skateboards confiscated." Wow. Read that and more in this Internal Memo From Officer Doofy that was just forwarded to me. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty interesting day. Whoever organized the Go Skateboarding Day thing has an alternate plan that I think is a great idea that will be irritating as hell for Mr. Doofy but won't get any of us arrested. See you at the Bro Bowl at 11:30am.
Cuff Me
Posted by Rob on Wed, Jun 20, 3:09 PM
Hello Officer Doofy and the rest of the Tampa Police staff reading this website on the taxpayer dollar! I hear you guys are doing some fantastic detective work for tomorrow's Go Skateboarding Day. There is an alternate plan but we will still see you at the Bro Bowl tomorrow at 11:30am.

DVS Giveaway Results
Posted by Rob on Mon, Jun 18, 2:19 PM
Here are the results from the DVS quiz thing. Top five got a pair of DVS shoes. Nearly 80% of you picked "find a great skate spot" over "meet a nice girl." Good to see the priorities in order. Foundation sent a box and a giveaway from them is coming up soon.

Turtle Ditch and St. pete Plaza
Posted by Rob on Sun, Jun 17, 12:53 AM
I broke yet another chill camera, among lots of other things, while in Minneapolis last weekend, so the chill shots are at a minimum for a while. That's a good thing. Today Drunk Aaron and I brought out the skate cam and we got a few sequences and photos for you, including shark attacks and John Travolta. Check it out: Random Snaps from St. Pete and Turtle Ditch.

Sesame Street Skateboarding
Posted by Rob on Mon, Jun 04, 5:23 PM
Back when I was a younger kid than I am today, my favorite part of Sesame Street was always the part where they would show factories and how stuff like mass quantities of candy and soda were made. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to go on this tour of a skateboard factory that Clements just went on last week. He took some interesting photos. From Clem: After Manny Mania in Venice a couple of weeks back I stayed for a bit of a vacation. I got to see some friends, did a little work, skated a bit, and more or less relaxed for a few days in not-so-sunny Southern California. By far the most interesting thing that I did was take a tour of Paul Schmitt's skateboard deck factory, PS Stix. Check out some pics...
School's Out Jam Photos

Over 300 photos have been cut down to this group of about 70 or so. I wasted my whole Sunday on this so you better check it: School's Out Jam 2007.
School's Out Jam Results
Posted by Rob on Sat, Jun 02, 7:39 PM
Check the Results Page for all the results from today. We changed it up a little at this Contest and had seven minute jams with five to six skaters per jam instead of timed runs. The skating in the Sponsored Division’s final jam was off the charts. I have a ton of photos to put up but my head is too fried to do that right now. Check back Sunday afternoon.
Contest Update
Posted by Rob on Sat, Jun 02, 10:25 AM
Thanks, Tropical Storm Barry. Things are clearing up and the Contest is on. See you here.
Contest Postponed
Posted by Rob on Sat, Jun 02, 9:22 AM
Right now, the course is sweating like it skated all night. It's way too sketchy to be skating right now so the Contest today is postponed. Watch for another update in about an hour. If things clear up by 11am, we'll start things off, but if not, we will have to cancel the Contest and close for the entire day with no skating at all. The Shop will remain open, however.
