Apparently, P-Rod has had enough of being good on a skateboard and wants to see if he can roll with some dominators in other sports. He also wants to create a new show for Verizon’s proprietary network go90 zone. The result is Can I Hang? It begins on May 1, 2017 only on Verizon.

Checking in on Twitter this morning and noticed that it appears that a woman named “Joan Dickinson” who is apparently “looking for a man” has hijacked skateboarder Neal Hendrix’s verified Twitter account. One day it’s street photos from Hendrix’s trip to Japan and lost baggage on the way to Rio, and now it’s this:
i’m already wеt! you wаnnа to touch my аss? go оn link in bio pic.twitter.com/C7cnzvip1N
— Joan Dickinson (@nealhendrix) April 27, 2017
Sadly, we can’t even ask Neal what’s up, because we only have his Twitter feed. . . Neal, please let us know what’s up? Is this a new sponsorship deal, a stolen password, gender reassignment?
Editors’ Update (3:07 PM April 27, 2017): After a short time off the Twitter air, Neal was back up with the following message:
Guess I got hacked. Sorry if you got spammed. Hope you got to see some nice boobs
— Neal Hendrix (@nealhendrix) April 27, 2017
Good to know it’s possible to get things fixed so quickly on Twitter. Guess that’s what comes with being verified.

We never really followed the clothing company LRG (Lifted Research Group Inc.), but it appears the brand has been purchased by San Diego, California based Mad Engine, LLC, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
“Robert Wright and the late Jonas Bevacqua founded the Irvine-based urban streetwear brand— better known as LRG—in 1999 to serve as “a bridge between skateboarding and hip hop. . . “In the months we have spent getting to know each other Mad Engine has shown a commitment to LRG’s future,” Wright said in a statement. “I am optimistic about this new chapter which creates the ability to grow the LRG brand and creates new opportunities and experiences for those involved.”
Mad Engine is a licensing company that works with major consumer brands like Disney, Coca Cola, and Mars and then distributes it through Walmart, Hot Topic, Kohls, Target, et al. This likely means that LRG sales likely be bigger than they’ve ever been very soon. Here, we’ll let Big Engine tell you all about their company.

This will reorganize your first world worries and cares for certain. Skateboarding is the antidote for so much that is wrong in the world and it would be great if more people understood that.

We finally figured out why Lizzie Armanto has been showing up so often in our Instafeed on a beach in nothing but a Target bikini. It’s because the girl is on fire. Now it all makes sense.

The story of Jeremy Fish, his wife Jayde and how they’re ruling the San Francisco art scene is spelled out in the SF Weekly and it’s worth a gander. Check it:
Both Jeremy and Jayde have achieved celebrity status within the fringes of the established art community for some time, and Jeremy has become a cult figure in the skating industry for his tripped-out line work, often depicting tiny, somewhat morbid, pink bunnies. The image originated from the calling card of a skateboarding crew he created in the ’90s: The Silly Pink Bunnies.
Remember the SPBs? Sure you do. For the rest of the story, flick the flink.

Can’t help but laugh when you hear the angry man at the beginning of Gage Boyle’s new Thunder Trucks part: “Do it again and I’ll take the camera from you. . . give me that goddamn board now. . . ” Nice work, Gage.

These are the stories we hate. On April 7, 2017 at around 7:30 PM 15-year-old Sandro McIlroy of Manhattan Beach, California grabbed onto the side of a moving Jeep while riding a skateboard, according to as story on 6ABC.com. The car was rolling at about 10 MPH and as we’ve learned accidents while skateboard towing rarely ends well.
At some point, the boy lost control of the skateboard, which caused him to hit the outer rear tire of the Jeep. He then fell, hitting his head on the roadway. . . Police and emergency personnel arrived and took the teen to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Our thoughts are with McIlroy’s friends and family.
