Skate your Basement

Ummmm… (Quicktime)

Why I still don’t use Mozilla as my primary browser

* Slow to load : 10 seconds on a 2ghz Athlon? * Ctrl + N opens a blank page * Cannot view Source in my text editor. * Cheesey UI, cannot consolidate taskbars into one single line. * Can’t remove icon text or make icons small. I KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE “BACK ARROW” * [...]

Video Review- In Bloom

The little-kid explosion in skateboarding has produced a pack of new riders who seem to have come out of nowhere. These kids are insanely good and are scaring off the less-talented pros in droves.

(This post is blatantly stolen from about 8 other places, most recently Voz 37′s LiveJournal) * People who have no concept of what they’re doing with their bodies: this includes: hair flipping, foot shuffling, gum chewing, grunting / throat clearing, gross eating, etc… * People eating their lunch at their desks.

Street Rake or Street Flake?

Last week at the pit, the local skateshop goon managed to have a screaming, board-throwing fit after not getting a KF Noseslide in a line. Of course there was NO CHANCE of him landing it. He barely came close. Saturday, I arrive at the pit to find a youth stomping his board into pieces cause [...]

BLOG HELL

I tried TWICE today to add a post- first time the damn admin tool session timed out before I hit submit- second time- well lets just say Safari doesn’t support undo in textareas. F!@K COMPUTERS!
