Hello,

I am Dane Manuel, I am a skater from Baton Rouge, La. I want to say something because I have found it to be terrifying in a lot of ways, so here it is:

There is a group of "medical doctors" called Psychiatrists. These "doctors" are currently on a campaign to drug all of our citizens with dangerous psychotropic drugs that are for "mental disorders".  They are targeting young people for the fact that we are energetic and bright and these drugs dumb one down and make one feel more depressed than when one wasn't taking them before! So a quick fact for you, look at EVERY school shooting EVER and you will see that EVERY kid involved with these school shootings were on the said psychotropic drugs, interesting? I would like to talk about one particular "disorder" called A.D.D.  You see this one "disorder" has brought more psychotropic drugs than one can count and is a big HOAX, in the DSM (diagnostics statistical manual), written and made by The APA (American Psychiatric Association), it is said that A.D.D is caused by a chemical imbalance ... Which there is NO scientific test for or proof of any kind!!! So then i ask you this question "what is the proper balance if there is an imbalance?" no one can tell YOU that ...

So, by the way, there is a "disorder" for everything one does in this DSM. Let me give you an example: If you fight with your brother of sister, you have "Sibling Rivalry Disorder" Who the hell doesn't fight with their siblings!?!? My second question is: how the hell will taking a pill/drug help you with your siblings? Here is something to think about: you can have trouble with math, then, per the DSM you have Mathematical Disorder [MMD] that YOU WILL NEED A PILL FOR???? Jesus flippin christ... need I say more?

I will write more if you want more or FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO www.CCHR.org (Citizens Commision on Human Rights) visit it you will be blown away!!!!

P.S. Psychiatry is supposed to mean the "study of the soul" per it's definition, however, they believe a materialistic view and deny the existence of a soul and so are in conflict with themselves - and really - it's all about the money!!!

My Blog: park skating
By: boydsurf


my area just recently added a new skate park with a nice bowl.i have not been skating for a couple of years now but am starting to go again.i need a new board and setup.since i have been in hiatus from skating i noticed a trend in narrowing in the boards.what setup is good for transition from bowls and quaters to handrails and stairs.i am 34 so when i started i was used to the wider boards and it looks like there may be a returning trend.does anyone have any input?thanks.

This is not me nor do I know the person in this photo, but it looked alright to me. But that's quite a bit more snow around that sign from last year.  WOO!!! View from top of Mammoth Mountain Mammoth's new sign. Very artsy. Very genius.

Sorry no photos of me snowboarding, I haven't figured out how to ride and take photographs at the same time.  Maybe I should get a camera that does video too.  blah!

 I need to know what sponsors like to see, which tricks, stairs, handrails, what does it take someone please tell this i have a skate team im working with called
''serpents union''.
 
my name is Tyler owens but my friends call me scarface due to the fact that i have a scar thats pretty big on my face but it looks cool. I got it from a car wreck that almost killed me. It was a head on collision, like ramming in to a wall going 80mph and not knocking it down. Needless to say i was back on my board in one and a half weeks with one hundred fifty nine stitches, i was rockin em well as a matter of fact adam dyet a pro sakter of darkstar,dekline,bones,etc.. met me at a demo at new-generation skate park it was the dekline demo to be exact he asked me what happened and i told him about the wreck and he said ''your lucky to be here alive kid''  i said yea and sk8boarding is part of the reason too. Most will look at that and say haha how did skateboarding help you survive, well the doc said that if i were so healthy i would have died, of course im healthy because of sk8ing.
 well thats all i have time to say if anyone has questions send me a message.http://www.myspace.com/tylerowens123

CORE Action Takes on the Action Sports Community


Grapevine, Texas (November 21, 2008)--CORE Action has entered full-steam into the action sports social culture. Having completed its beta-stage the CORE Action website has launched revealing its edgy, gritty look and first-rate content. At the heart of COREaction.com is the Nation, an action sports community that provides a forum for enthusiasts of all ages to communicate, share and express themselves through the sports they love.

CORE Action also provides its viewers with day-to-day coverage of what's happening in the action sports world--skateboarding, snow sports, surfing, motocross, BMX and water sports are all covered highlighting the best news, events, photos and videos from each discipline. CORE also informs and entertains users with in-house video coverage, featuring one-on-one interviews with top-pros, hot on the scene action from local and national events and short entertaining vignettes to get the adrenaline pumping.

While CORE reports on what's going on in the pro scene, our real ambition is to provide a forum for the young and up-and-coming athletes to get their story out and let themselves be known. Gone are the days of sending in "sponsor-me" tapes to companies in desperate and often futile attempts to get noticed. With CORE, the athlete can log-on to the Nation and post a bio, videos and photos in an effort to promote themselves within the community. CORE's main objective is to support the sport's underdogs and amateurs and to forge lasting partnerships within our member network as we grow into the future.

"Not only do we provide up-to-date original content, but we do it in a safe environment where kids are protected and can be among their peers." Kent Holcomb, President of CORE Action explains, "We closely follow the COPPA laws which protect underage kids from predators and mature content."

Nick Moscia CORE Action Marketing Director agrees, "We're all about reaching out to the action sports community. For us, it's about the kids. This is a place where they can hang out, chat with friends and check out the latest videos, news and events."

The CORE staff comes from within the action sports culture--skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX and motocross. From the slopes of the Rocky Mountains to waves of Cocoa Beach, Florida, the CORE crew are embedded in their prospective scenes. Preserving the culture and empowering riders to enjoy their sports and to reach full potential is our objective at CORE Action.


CORE Philosophy--Within every discipline of action sports lay a CORE group of people. They are the ones pushing the boundaries and limits on a daily basis. CORE riders raise the bar and create new standards for the rest to follow. They are the epicenter of the Industry and help keep our Culture alive and thriving. These devoted folks eat, drink and sleep the sport which they are true to and willingly make sacrifices to keep the ride going. Living a CORE lifestyle defines these individuals and establishes a place for them in this world...

CORE Action was founded in 2007 and is an internet-based action sports community which specializes in social networking and providing premium action sports related content. For more information go to www.COREaction.com.

So this last week i've been skating a lot, its been pretty sweet.  i also worked a lot last week too. I'm also going to school full time at a community college with all the other bright and shining stars of america. hectic schedule to say the least. that said i'm not working at all this week, so i'm planning on dedicating myself entirely to the hobby/sport/lifestyle we all love and share. 
 
Last week i sustained a really bad bruise on my knee and a stretched/torn ligament in my wrist.  i did this by doing a simple rock to fakie down a 3 foot spine and getting my wheels caught in a near by ramp at the base of the spine.  my knee cap and palm hit ground first stretching my wrist in an upward motion and making me clinch it then lying there for a minute because my knee hurt to bad to get up. after making a scene which i hate to do i skated around doing little lip tricks and shoves until i left roughly 30 min later.  it sucked.  

i tried to upload a picture of my knee but this f*cking website wont load any of my pics which is bullshi*t.  

moving onward i'm really starting to pick up on flip tricks.  i'm not much of a switch skater.  all i can do is switch shove, switch shove rewinds and switch front shoves. weak i know.  anyways i'm  really close to hardflips and yesterday i landed a fs and bs bigspin.  it was really sweet.

minnesota has a really great skate scene.  lots of kids and plenty of old timers.  its to the point where there's a bit of symmetry between skaters. and by that i mean that they all get a long (for the most part) and kinda act like they know each other.  this goes for majority of the parks i've been to.  i've been skating at new hope, mn park a lot lately.  really small.  too small. great practice park though.  3 different sized boxes, a bench, 1 rail but i hate rails so thats fine by me.  couple more things (quarterpipes, fun box, hubba, stairs, and etc.)  its not perfect.  it has a couple big flaws but what do you expect when a skatepark is built by a city council of rule donning adults who just build because of pressure from the citizens.  if you've never stood on a board you shouldnt have any say in its parks.  

i think more places should try to emulate the skate plaza idea.  its more expensive but ramp companies are ridiculous too. i think a skate plaza is nicer looking, better for skating, be less upkeep and would keep more skaters off the streets than a cookie cutter skatepark that looks like one from the next town.  

anyways that was a huge blog post.  

until next time
the mnlocal

Jesus Fernandez, JB Gillet, Mikemo Capaldi, Torey Pudwill, Danny Brady, Marty Murawski, Mike Anderson, Lem Villemin and Vivien Feil experienced the “Grey Daze” Germany had to offer us on the recent Matix trip. The team started off at the Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt where Mo had a release party for his upcoming signature Asher. Kids lined up to meet the Mo and get a free LTD Mo tee, given to them by Mo himself.

Saturday July 11th the team threw their signatures down on a stack of posters during their signing at Railslide Skateshop, while sipping black coffee. (The Railslide bro’s brewed up at their in-store coffee shop.) After three days in Frankfurt, burned out on tradeshow craze and the few cases of Becks the team had gone through, they packed their bags, crowded into a Euro-size rental van (which was small) and trekked to Berlin.

During their five-day stay in Berlin—no bank was left un-skated, no marble was left un-grinded and no beer was left un-opened. When you’re skating the most unique spots Berlin has to offer with some of our most talented Matix riders, you get a lot of stuff done. From a Titus “Zoopreme” store signing and a load of filming to shooting for a Monster Magazine article the 8-day stay has produced some good coverage available in the near future.

Click Here to check out Tony E's Flick'r account for some photos from the trip.

Look for an upcoming Matix Podcast, as well as a feature on FUEL TV’s “The Daily Habit” coming soon. Keep an eye on www.matixclothing.com and FUEL TV for more on “Grey Daze In Deutschland”.

So on my way to work at the indoor about a month ago. I had to come downtown to pick up a new helmet. On the way I was walking through city hall and a police car rolls up right into city hall and stops me. The cop gets out and tells me stand in front of the car I couldn’t believe how agressive he was.Then he asks for my I.D. and where I live then he told me I was going to get a ticket for skateboarding. Funny thing I was only walking with my board and had been walking for a couple of blocks. Obviously there was no point in arguing with him he had made up his mind.

My ticket turned out to be for fifty dollars I thought it was a little steep so I looked into it. The city website posts what fines are for and how much they cost this is where it starts to get funny. The fine for skateboarding downtown is twenty dollars this made me wonder why my ticket is for fifty. I emailed the police with my question and the first response I got the person didn’t know why my ticket was so much and agreed with me that my fine should only be for twenty dollars. The second email I got from them was a little different. The person said the extra charge is called a victim surcharge and is added on to most tickets and sent a chart of how its based on a percentage of the fine and they said for a fine under a hundred dollars the victim surcharge is thirty dollars. I wanted to check if what he was saying was legit so I looked up victim surcharge on the government of Canada site and turns out what they had posted was that the victim surcharge was fifteen percent of my fine which adds up to about three dollars not thirty.

I plan on taking my ticket to court and at the very least I will waste more taxpayers money going to court then they will gain from my ticket. So if you get a ticket for skating take it to court maybe if we waste enough time and money they will start to realize how stupid it is to give tickets for skateboarding. I would also like to add again that I wasn’t even skating and got a ticket for just having A skateboard this kind of profiling is garbage and cant be tolerated.

See you in court!!!
