We didn’t make it to the 4th Annual Clash At Clairemont on March 27, 2010 in San Diego, but the list of skaters who did is impressive as usual (Torey Pudwill, PLG, Jake Duncombe, Alex Perelson, Duane Peters to name a few). Tony Hawk was there and so was Shredordie.com. Now, it’s almost like we all went.

Skateboarding is used to market Ballpark Franks and most every other consumer product, why not the medical industrial complex. The makers of the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine Gardasil use girls skateboarding to kick off their message that teens should be vaccinated to reduce the risk of getting cervical cancer. Now the Journal of the American Medical Association has a report suggesting there may be some risks to the vaccine as well.

Last night (March 27, 2010), Nickelodeon held their 2010 Kids Choice Awards. Both Shaun White and Ryan Sheckler were up for Favorite Male Athlete in a list that included basketball greats Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.
Shaun White (who looked remarkably unexhausted) may have presented an award to Taylor Lautner, but he didn’t win. Apparently, the little girls still understand and Ryan rolled away with the win. Had this been the Cougars Choice Awards, there likely would have been a different, more tomatoey, winner.

We don’t really follow longboarding that closely, but we always enjoyed the way Steve Lake and the Sector 9 crew rolled in under the lazy gaze of the skateboard industry and capitalized on their own groove. They didn’t chase the market, they redirected it their way and caught nearly everyone off guard.
The Sector 9 story isn’t really news, but it is cool to hear Steve tell it.

NY Skateboarding interviewed Joe Maloof, Steve Rodriguez, Remy Stratton and Geoff Rowley about the new permanent park being built in Flushing Meadow Park for the Maloof Money Cup NYC. From the course design, it looks it will be good for some skateboarding in the round.

We were just checking out the new redesign of Tony Hawk’s Shredordie.com and noticed that Grind For Life’s Mike Rogers is featured in this week’s Free Lunch. Check it.

Yesterday, we finally got to see Walker Ryan skate in person at the St. Helena, California skatepark. Yep, he’s for real. That’s why we’re watching his Berric’s recruited one more time, peeping his Organica commercials, and checking out his Text Yoself. Oh, and have you seen the Shuffl Video trailer? It’s up.

At fist we thought this was a joke. Aren’t the Catholics in enough trouble with kids already? But it’s not. Australia’s Friar Gabriel M. Cortes is for real according to a story on Catholic.com.
In addition to his missionary work, Friar Gabriel is involved in community efforts with the local government, the Shire of Toodyay. He serves on the Crime Prevention Committee as well as a committee to design and build local skate parks.
Peace be with you. . .
