Hey, do you want to get audition for the opportunity to skate in a “street theater that combines street and park riding into cool shows”? We thought so. Click here and read all about how you to can show off your skills in a amusement park setting. I guess it beats wearing one of those huge animal costumes.
There’s no mention of Primo and Diane Desiderio being involved, but those two OWNED Seaworld during the 80’s.
Posted by ChrisCongratulations are in order to two of skateboarding’s lifelong enthusiasts and supporters and their wives, of course. Within days of each other, both Element’s Ryan Kingman and Skateboarder magazine’s Roger Harrell have become new fathers.
On March 23rd, Novella Royale Kingman was delivered to Ryan and his wife Mary weighing 8 pounds and measuring 20.5 inches long.
On March 28th, Roger’s wife April, gave birth to their new son, Justice Samuel Harrell weighing 7lbs and 15 ounces, measuring 19.5 inches long. Both families are healthy, happy and doing great.

Posted by bkIt seems over the weekend our friends at Deluxe had their private skatepark in San Francisco vandalized and robbed. Read the full release here.
“Used to be a time when it was skaters against the world. Now it’s skaters against skaters. That sucks. Whoever it was are losers, and you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
If you have any leads or information on who is behind this thoughtless act, please contact Deluxe Distribution at the numbers listed here. Let’s hope justice is served and these cowards get what they deserve.
