Think Gary Rogers would ignore the Harlem Shake tsunami like we (as rational people) have? Nope. He didn’t. But as you might guess, his take is funnier than most. . . sort of. Oh, and that backflip kid makes an appearance as well. We ignored him also. In fact, we’ve been ignoring pretty much everything lately. But then, you’ve probably noticed that already. Right?

What does this little Dave Hackett at Kristian Svitak’s edit teach us? A couple things: You can still skateboard at 52 years old. And, style is not lost with age. Good reminders, both.

Supra has just released a new Lil Wayne Vice Pack. And as the man says:
“You gotta pick your vice,” Lil Wayne said, “you got candies, trees, or drank. We got the Vaiders in candy, candy all in the inside—I call ‘em sugar rush. And then we got the Stevie Williams edition with the trees—self-explanatory, you already know what that is. And then we got the Skytop IIIs from the Muska with the drank, you know what I mean? As you can see we got a detail with a drank on the side, ice cubes and all that. But like I said, pick your vice, man: candy, trees, or drank. Yagada.”
Yes, Lil Wayne can talk however he want to talk. ‘Cause that his thang. Click the link for all the info.

He was in a car when a man swerved to purposely hit a roadside worker, then he saved a woman’s life by using his hatchet to hack the same man, but the best part of all of this is the Kai is “straight out of Dogtown.” And he describes being involved in the whole encounter as like “surfing the biggest wave of my life.” Just watch it (if you haven’t already seen it a million times) and turn up the volume.

Legendary skateboarding pioneer Donald “Waldo” Autry was found dead in his van on January 23, 2013 “outside of the Upstairs Downstairs salon where he worked in Seal Beach,” according to a story in the Orange County Register. Autry was 55.
Autry was a pioneer of extreme skateboarding, featured in movies back in the mid-’70s when the sport was in its infancy, about the same time the now-famous Dogtown crew hit the scene. His early pool and pipe skills were featured in the iconic surf film “Five Summer Stories.” friend David Hegstrom said. . . He was featured recently in a documentary called “Signal Hill Speed Run,” which premiered at Cal State Long Beach recently. He was also an avid surfer who could be found near the pier in Seal Beach or Huntington Beach.
No foul play is suspected, according to the story. We will always remember those epic images of Autry in pools and pipes. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. A memorial service will be held February 23, 2013 at the north end of the Bolsa Chica State Beach parking lot.
