When it Rains…
With summer behind us and the wet season soon approaching, have a look (in low def) into the way Gonz handles his business out on the wet streets of NYC.

Skateboarding Unlikely for 2012 Olympics?
That’s the headline on a recent article posted at the Olympic focused website, Around The Rings. Transworld has a copy of the article posted at their site. It seems like there is a lot of red tape between the groups that need to come together for skating to be included in the 2012 games in London.
It’s hard to believe that International Roller Sports Federation is set to hold a Skateboard World Championships in 2009. Crazier things have happened…maybe we’ll see a joint Roller Dancing / Half Pipe contest.

More On The $84K Skate Video
A few weeks back we mentioned an ‘art’ skate video selling for $84,000 at a Sotheby’s auction in Melbourne. This article in The Sydney Morning Herald introduces us to Shaun Gladwell, the man behind the lens. His new work includes breakdancing, “young men sliding through supermarkets on their knees”(?) and footage of Jake Brown’s X-Games fall. Here’s what Gladwell said about the fall:
“I would never have shown it if he’d done permanent damage to himself,” Gladwell said. “But we all love watching accidents, whether it’s on Funniest Home Videos or on the sporting field. It’s bad when you hit the ground, but there’s something beautiful about seeing a body fly through the air.”
And this guy is getting rich off skate video as art? Maybe he can get a job at that awful Mtv show, Scarred or be the next Bob Saget.

Vert Skating’s Next Generation
Ever heard of Alex Perelson? Well, it you haven’t, he’s one of just a handful of teens out there rising up against the foundations of the aging and reigning crop of professional vertical skaters. We’re hyped that vert’s new face has carried on the tradition of smooth style and has not gone completely towards stinkbuggery and other snowboard-inspired stunts.
