SKATEBOARD NUDE

If you haven’t heard yet, Skate Naked is moving to a new, way huger location, way out east on 5th Ave. It’s gonna have two street rooms, a bowl room, apartments, food, a chillzone, a skateshop, hot tub, bowling alley, go cart track, laser tag, ball pit, torture chamber, stripper poll, etc. Well, that list may be partially fabricated, but whatever, you get the point. It’s gonna have tons of fucking shit. Here’s what it looks like so far.

****BREAKING NEWS AT THIS HOUR****

20110826-094009.jpg
Dan Drehobl said Ben’s name. Whatever. Dave Mirra thought my name once. Yeah, how many video games are named after Dan Drehobl? Huh Ben? But it turned out it was on accident, while trying to remember the name of this really annoying kid he used to fuck with in high school (It was Spencer Nishimura). This is the most exciting thing I have to report at this moment, as we are in the process of relocating Whassamatta You HQ to our new offices. Packing up our stacks upon stacks of money and cleaning all the semen off of the ceiling has been a rather arduous process. Expect slightly more exciting updates in the future, maybe.

Then/Then Later

2005:
Powell Skatepark opened

I skated there once (maybe twice) a day

I did something new here everyday

I met the people that are now my best friends

Everything was awesome and it rained candy and money, from rainbow-streaked skies

It is my favorite skatepark


2011:

A seasoned skatepark, with ever-expanding cracks and crevices, due to Ohio winters

I skate here once (maybe twice) a month

I still occasionally do something new here

Populated by (mostly) all shitheads

Rich kids show off their million-billion-dollar racecars in the parking lot

They cut down a bunch of the trees surrounding the skatepark in the past couple years. Rumor has it that the city did it because too many high school handies were being tossed off under the cover of the suburban foliage. I hope that is the case.

It is my favorite skatepark

Cam’ron Sez “No Homo”

Skateboarding is really fucking gay. I came to this conclusion while at Hodges’ debut open mic night performance this past week at The Scarlet and Gray Cafe. I spotted this amongst the piles of free publications and naturally I picked it up and flipped through it to see if it actually had anything to do with skateboarding.
