Skateboarding wasn’t the cause of death…

July 28th, 2008

Scott Angus, 18, died from a heart defect no one realized he suffered from after he spent the day riding and doing tricks with friends…

Imagine having to call your friend’s mom to tell her the news?  This is sickening that people…parents…don’t give enough attention to their kids health.  Skateboarding is an intensive work out…

Let’s wish his family well…

1000 mile journey on a skateboard

June 26th, 2008

Have you heard of these guys?  They are on a 1000 journey on a skateboard.  I just heard James on WLUP 97.9 in Chicago.  Pretty funny dudes…I just hope they mention our site on the radio!

Roach Man’s thought for the day…

June 26th, 2008

The National Highway & Traffic Safety System strongly advises against picking up hitchhicking badgers. 

I don’t know about you, but why segregate these poor bastards?   Give them a ride, but only if they are skateboarding

What’s up!

May 10th, 2008

Here’s Roach Man…haven’t talked in a while.  What’s up with you skaters?

I saw an interesting article the other day talking about how a skateboarding accident left a kid “speechless”.  Well, have we asked his mom if that wasn’t a good thing :) ?

See the story here

Keep skateboarding!

Over and out…

Roach Man’s thought for the day: High Prices Suck

March 20th, 2008

Hey, dudes…we just had a convo with one of our suppliers and they think our skateboard deck, wheels, and trucks are TOO LOW.   Actually, other websites think our prices are too low.  You know what I say?  Tough cooties! (sorry, my boss Rubes don’t want foul language here…)

Would you like it if we raised our prices?  HECK NO!  Are we gonna?  HECK NO!

We’ll try to hold off as much as we can.  They promised to stop selling the stuff to us if we continue to sell at lower-than-average prices.  Meanwhile, our wheels are turning (sorry, couldn’t help myself…)…we’re looking for more suppliers so we can have a choice.

Meanwhile, enjoy the new SPITFIRE and ALIEN WORKSHOP stuff on our site.  They are a new supplier — at least THEY did not complain about our prices…

Keep it cool…
