Skate City: China

Posted by Rob, Thursday, May 23, 2013 9:35 PM

On my last travel adventure to Barcelona, met and spent a few days skating with Charles Lanceplaine. Sometimes you move to another city or state for a chance. Charlie moved from France to Shanghai. How's that for a change? He also speaks more human languages than I speak computer languages. He's in Shanghai documenting all the ripping that's going down there and of course you know the spots are insane. Check out his second episode of Skate City: China. Pretty funny that no one in China can watch this because it's on YouTube. We'll see you and Johnny Tang in Shanghai later this year for another Damn Am, Charles.

We've got all the new Nike for June in today. If your local shop doesn't have them, we got you, even if you're not in the US.

Beware the Canadian Tuxedo

Posted by Rob, Thursday, May 23, 2013 11:01 AM

We just put these Levis Trucker Skateboarding Jackets on sale 50% OFF. Careful. You know what a Canadian Tuxedo is? At half off, you can just cut the sleeves off for summer. Or, run the first official jean jacket "half shirt". Ya'll even know what half shirts are? You have to be pretty old to remember them, at least in the heterosexual community. I think I was doing windmills last time I wore one - and it was mesh. It's been way too long since we've seen half shirts and to my knowledge, we've NEVER seen them in skateboarding. Cut the bleeding edge of style like Dylan Rieder and blow minds with a jean jacket half shirt at the next skateboard shindig you need to stand out at. You're getting 50% off both literally and figuratively. Damn! You're welcome to take full credit for my idea. You can pull it off, you got this.

Nerdsday Thursday: Our Top 50 Skateboarders

Posted by Rob, Thursday, May 23, 2013 9:22 AM

This week on Nerdsday Thursday, I only have one chart for you. From last week's data on our top 200 skateboarders here, I pulled a couple more age stats. We know that skateboarding pros are getting older, ams are getting older, and everyone's just kind of getting older, but what about just the skaters that come here almost every day? The top 50? The Ray Ray's, the Alejandro's, and the Chuckies? I thought this number might show the reverse trend since you obviously tend to skate more when you're younger vs being like early 20's when you've likely got a job and bills. Check it out here: Our Top 50 Skateboarders.
