The annual Tony Hawk Foundation Holiday eBay Auction is live. It works a little like this: Tony Hawk and his friends have donated really cool items (including a Tony hawk Edition Triumph Speedmaster motorcycle, guitars, skateboards, cameras, and other stuff). When you bid on and buy the items all the money raised goes to the fund the Tony Hawk Foundations missing to empower youth through the creation of public skateparks in low-income communities across the US and other causes overseas.

Tomorrow, (Saturday December 6, 2014) Chicago’s Grant Park Skate Park will be hosting a grand opening beginning at 11 AM. There will be contests, giveaways, local DJs and much much more.
“People really want to use it. It’s really motivating to have park space that’s going to be used by people from all over the city and suburbs,” said Bob O’Neill, president of the Grant Park Conservancy. “I think the only people more excited than me are the skateboarders and BMXers. They’ve really been anticipating this.”
It’s going to be cool and breezy, but no rain in the forecast. To get to the park enter at Roosevelt Road. The park is located just east of the Agora Sculpture. For more info follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Know someone who likes riding or skating with their own personal sound track rolling? It’s probably hard to think of anyone who doesn’t rock their music when they roll. And those people need headphones that stay where they’re supposed to stay. The SOL Republic Relays are in-ear headphones that lock into the ear canal and don’t budge no matter how hard they get rattled. Not only do they stay put, they fit so well that they block out ambient noise almost as well as more expensive noise-canceling headphones.
The Relays feature an inline mic and music control buttons that are compatible with iOS and other devices, so pausing the music or answering a phone call is as easy as pressing a button on the cord. It’s never been easier to stay in the groove while on the move. The Relays come in five colors (red, lime, blue, white, and black) to fit the fashion plate of even the pickiest of shreds. Replays retail for $79.99 and can be purchased right here.
