 Thunderous plundering down under and a bit of blunder as well. A tale of the American carpet bombing campaign that invaded Oz and NZ, a heavy art attack, and the fallout that still scorches the ground well below the equatorial line...

 Revolutions are not all finite occurrences with neatly scripted conclusions. Consider a revolution for a moment that's beginnings date to perhaps the year 1977. The groundwork and clandestine planning for the revolution had begun a few years prior, but 1977 marks a definite paradigm shift in the evolution of skateboarding. Wider boards, better wheels, pool-based skatepark designs, and a hungry contingent of rising stars exceeding any and all previous performance standards or forward-thinking theories. Revolutionaries are born of necessity, and of imperatives. This concept is found beyond the citadel of skateboarding, but for our purposes, we need not mention other realms of consciousness...

The Nike video is about to drop. Tomorrow night I think. Anyway, they threw a demo at Belvedere and also at Skate Lab today. I happen to catch the Belvedere demo. School had just let out and the park was packed.

|
 When Duane Peters found out we were going to hook up Hamrock with some coverage on CD, he gruffly responded "Well it's about fucking time..." Known to purchase tents and camp in them for a week only to return them to the store, Hamrock is probably best known for his skating...

 As we wait in line to enter, Kyle see this crazy old lady walking with a broom. With perfect comedic timing Kyle asks her if she was “Cleaning up her act”. With that the old lady started to sweep herself and then asked us for a dollar...

| Unsung Hero's - Bart Saric |
|
|
 An artist of many mediums, Bart continues to "move-ahead" while never forgetting the past and respecting those who came before. If you think I hold Bart to some high standards, your right. The man has never let me down, and now a few words from the man himself...
