Yeah, we’ll pretty much listen to anything Jamie Thomas has to say about anything. Even when he’s at the same table with Bart Jones, Erica Yary, and Rob Brink. Just kidding. Check it all in this weeks Weekend Buzz.

The Broadway Bomb, and annual outlaw skater race down Manahattan, ran into a little trouble yesterday (October 18, 2012) as the New York State Supreme Court handed out a “temporary restraining order” barring organizers from holding the eight-mile race that is scheduled for noon Saturday, October 20, 2012, according to a story in the NY Daily News.
City lawyers argued the annual event is an “unauthorized skateboard race” through traffic and was poised to attract more than 1,800 longboarders. . . The court ruling prompted event co-founder Ian Nichols to cancel the race “in order to avoid being prosecuted,” reads a message posted on the “Broadway Bomb” website. “Ian Nichols must officially cancel the ‘Broadway Bomb’ and relinquish all responsibility,” the message added. . . But the group also said it is planning to conduct a “flash mob” at 116th St. and Broadway at 11:50 a.m. Saturday and go ahead with the race at noon.
The threat of arrest probably won’t stop the carnage as more than 2,000 are planning on make the run, according to the Gothamist. Guess we’ll all know tomorrow. Follow the jump for a video from last year’s event.

That Northwestern footwear giant that just canned cyclist Lance Armstrong has no qualms about sponsoring another Lance participates in the digging of holes, the positioning of coping, and the subsequent distruction of said terrain. We’re glad they occasionally has their priorities straight.

Chris Nieratko nailed down new parent Jeff Grosso and managed to get maybe three parenting tips out of the man. Most of which are extremely real, just like Grosso himself.
