Danny Way To Skate The Luxor?
We ran across this online article stating that Danny Way was spotted in Vegas planning his next stunt: skating down the front of the Luxor Hotel and jumping the Sphynx in the front. No official word from the DC camp or Danny’s site, but it seems like something he would do.

First and foremost, we are beyond hyped to see that John Cardiel is on board once again! Pitcrew’s banging new video Feels Like the First Time is out now. Go ahead and order it right here. Oh yeah, drop by The Berrics and check in on the Daily Ops right now and have a look at Andrew Reynolds’ perfect score of 11 of 11. Damn.

“Don’t Call Me Dude!” Returns
Baltimore’s hot headed and skateboard hating Officer Salvatore Rivieri has resurfaced in the public eye with this new piece of visual harassment aimed against an artist’s moving shoe box. This dude in his cute little golf cart has some serious anger management issues. He’s paid by tax paying citizens to serve and protect and apparently for him, it’s more like, “hate and berate.”
