The Takeover Tour is coming this summer. From what I can tell, it’s a mash up of skate & bmx. What I can’t figure out, is it a competition tour or a show type thing? Look for details in the coming months. In the meantime, watch this “I can do everything better than you can” vid.

I’m not really sure the specialty of this Dakine pack. What I do know … you can carry a chainsaw on your back!

These guys are putting skate parks on Indian reservations where funding is almost totally absent. Great work!

This guy claims he taught Shaun White how to be awesome on a skateboard at the Encinitas YMCA when the glorious red head was but a little freckle. If that doesn’t sell this service … I don’t know what will.

Lets face it – what goes up must come down. Sometimes coming down can be a violent and painful event. That’s just where the pain starts, though. The hospital will give you a different kind of pain shortly after you receive the first ER bill. Having good insurance is something people really take for granted. Many of action sport’s most talented individuals are without some form of quality insurance. This is where the Gnarjar Foundation can help. Dedicated to helping those in need of medical treatment without the means to get what they need to get back in the action.

Remember in the movie Repo Man when Otto is drinking a beer with his dad & the beer is all generic style? What do you mean, you have never seen Repo Man!? Ok…forget about this 8″limited skateboard from UNIV & get your ass in front of a tv and watch the classic that is Repo Man. Then you will get why the whole generic skateboard thing is cool.
