Lutzka Upsets Sheckler
The Dew Tour Skate Park Finals ended with a big upset this afternoon. With cameras aimed from all angles toward media favorite Ryan Sheckler during the finals, the golden child just couldn’t keep his feet on the grip tape and missed a few too many tricks. Brought to tears prior to podium time, Ryan’s life is in fact a true show of reality. Sometimes you win…sometimes you just skate like everyone else.

Hot Springs Skateboarders Given Fines
We all watched the video. We all were outraged. Now the skaters have had their day in court. Both pleaded no contest and were given no jail time.
Nineteen-year-old Old Skylar was sentenced to 30 days community service and 85 dollars in fines, plus court costs. Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Jon McCormack pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of third-degree battery for allegedly striking police officer Joey Williams. McCormack was fined 210 dollars, plus costs, and ordered him to perform 30 days of community service.
And as we all know…Officer Williams got off scot-free. Justice? We think not.

Police Learn To Skate In The UK
This certainly isn’t happening in the states…”Hampshire police are sending officers to workshops, attended by up to 30 youngsters aged from 12 to 16, to receive expert tuition.”
It’s actually a pretty smart idea in terms of improving the relationship between the police and young people. “It lets the youngsters see a more human side to the police”. It would be a nice change from this sort of police interaction.

Life Of Ryan?
Yup, Sheckler is just trying to be a normal teenager. A normal teen with his life filmed for Mtv and his Mom for a manager. Good luck with that…
