When we can’t actually be there it’s nice to know Rob Brink is. He apparently covered the whole Sheckler Skate For A Cause event held May 29, 2010 at the etnies skatepark without once lifting his finger from the shuttler release.
Click the link and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about. It’s almost animated GIF overload, but in a good way.

With the mortgage crisis have come pools. Empty pools. And many of them in Fresno. Which is probably one of the only reason’s you’d want to visit Fresno. . .

When Chrys Worley saw how much her autistic 7-year-old son Sasha loved skateboarding she realized that it might be good for other kids who suffer from the disability. So she started the A.Skate Foundation, according to a story in the Tuscaloosa News.
“It’s often really difficult for kids with autism to be part of organized sports,” said Chrys Worley, a West Blocton mom whose 7-year-old son has autism. . . “Skateboarding is something they can do as a group but also individually,” she said. “They don’t have to be overwhelmed, and it’s constant motion.”
We’ve always used skateboarding as therapy, but it’s nice to know someone is using it to help the kids who need it the most.

On Saturday May 29, 2010 from 10 AM until 5 PM The Sheckler Foundation will be hosting Skate For A Cause at the Etnies Skatepark in Lake Forest, California.
The Sheckler Foundation is proud to present, Skate for a Cause, a family friendly event that combines a world class skate jam with a carnival. We have invited the top names in skateboarding to participate in this unique skate event that will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Pretty much everyone you’ve ever wanted to see skate will be there: Chris Cole, Eric Koston, P-Rod, PJ Ladd, Mikey Taylor, Mike Mo, Sean Malto, Torey Pudwill and many more. This should be good. And, it’s for a good cause.

The First stop of the NorCal Death Match Touris this coming up Saturday May 15, 2010 in the bowl at Surf and Skate in SacTown, just a block away from the grounds of the old Rainbow Skatepark Pool (RIP) but we digress. Entry is $10 and there’s a master’s contest. N-Punks that means you. . .

Former Aussie skate filmers Ben Hazzard and Liam Stephens currently hold the number 2 paid app position in the Apple iTunes iPhone app store with their low-rez skateboarding game Stick Skater, according to a story in the Sydney Morning Herald.
We both grew up in Newcastle filming skate videos of local skaters, some of who have become world respected pro skater,” Hazzard said. . . “We modelled the skate animations on real skateboarders, and we specifically choose a particular pro skater, Jake Duncombe, who has a reputation for doing some of the best tricks.” . . Hazzard said the game allowed for many trick combinations. . . “While being a little exaggerated for entertainment purposes, they are still in touch with the progression of real skateboarding,” he said.
One of the coolest parts of the game is skating the famous spots including: the Carlsbad Gap, Hollywood High, Wilshire, and Love Park. We’re guessing this will be 99 cents well spent.

Wonder what kind of gentlemen’s agreement Tony Hawk and Shaun White have regarding video games? Because Tony’s new game Shred is rumored to possible get into a little snow and surf and Shaun’s new game Skateboarding (scheduled to arrive this fall) is not exactly a snowboard game.
Are the two monster boarding icons going head-to-head in the isles of the big box stores this Christmas? Looks probable.

It’s nice seeing the progeny of skate royalty hold things down all by themselves. Riley Hawk is obviously not suffering from Frank Sinatra Jr. disease.
