Skateboarding
Fifty-year-old skateboarder Bernard B. Hamilton was killed late Thursday night September 19, 2013 in Tannersville, New York after rolling down a hill through an intersection and directly into the path of a New York State Trooper’s cruiser, according to a story in the Times Union.
State Police said Hamilton was riding a skateboard in Hill Road when he rolled into the intersection with Route 23A and the path of a trooper’s car, which was westbound on Route 23A. . . Hamilton was declared dead at the scene.
The accident happened at 11:38 PM. No other information was released. Our thoughts are with Hamilton’s family and friends.

Z-Flex Skateboards and stylish men’s grooming products Uppercut Deluxe and collaborated on a skateboard that comes with two combs and some quality pomade.
“We are so proud to be able to collab with Z-Flex on this Mr Chipper Deluxe model. I remember one of the very first skate photos I saw as a kid was Jay Adams on a Z-Flex board which always sticks in my mind as pure and raw skateboarding; when style and attitude was everything! It’s so rad to come together and create this board years later to combine our passions of skateboarding and barbering in a slick and destroy model!”- says, Luke Newman, one of the founders of Uppercut Deluxe.

We have an brand new old Johnny Layton deck in our closet. Not gripped. Not mounted. Not nothing. Eric Stricker gave it to us when he really didn’t have to give us anything. And that was cool. Every time we see the board we’re reminded of that. And maybe that’s why we leave that deck right where it is. New, yet old.
In other Johnny Layton news watch this.

Yobeat.com posted this yesterday, so we’re going to post it today because it made us laugh and put all action sports in proper perspective (at least to us, at this moment in time, today, (redundancy for poetic effect)). Airboarding. We wish we’d thought of it.

What does “going pro” even mean in skateboarding these days? Does it mean the skater is finally getting paid? No. Does it mean they guy is competing in “pro contests”? No. After years of asking everyone we know what “going pro” means and getting a different answer each time we’ve finally figured it out. If you get a “pro model” anything and someone promotes you as having gone pro, then you’re pro. Take Julian Davidson for instance. Element just bumped him up to the “pro team” and gave him a “pro model” so the dude is pro. Period. Congrats, Julian.

Leatherman, makers of the fine folding multi-tools favored by Hollywood grips and handymen alike, has apparently been working with Signal Snowboards, Girl Skateboards, and Korduroy.TV on a new selection of multi-tools designed specifically for snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing. The snowboarding tools are already out, but here’s a little sneak on the skate tools:
The Grind and Jam skate tools are designed specifically for assembling and maintaining a board—adjusting/setting trucks, tightening bolts, filing grip tape, etc.—and fall into the company’s PocketTool line. The Jam can be used in conjunction with the Leatherman Style® PS mini-multi-tool, by just snapping it into the frame of the Jam. These single-piece tools are lightweight, fit easily in a pocket, or clip onto a belt loop. Users can skate with the tools on, or clip them to a bag. In addition to the pocket tools, Leatherman will also be releasing a black pocket knife set, one with a blade only and the other with an integrated set of screwdrivers. Both knives have a storable carabiner to carry/open a bottle and a Blade Launcher™ system for quick-deploy.
For more details on the surf and snow tools, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
