-sponsor ship-
 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.

My Blog: Intro
By: mnlocal


Alright,  so i've been skating since about july 4, 2000.  not like i've been keeping track.  i'm a medium level skater, we'll just say i paced myself in between injuries.  my favorite obstacle is a manny pad, my least is a stair case.  I love skateboarding,  its the only thing in life that keeps me giddy like a fat chick at a candy store.  i'm going to try to keep this blog up to date with what's happening with me and what i've been up to. i'm also going to post if any local kids are ripping around my area.  i live about a mile from 3rd lair but i only go there when the weather is shi*tty.  i prefer to skate at crystal, or new hope but i still have my roots at the streets.  until next time

So last month I entered a local skate comp in Park City, and I totally took 1st place.  Cool huh?  I knew my practice would pay off one day!  It was my first and only comp so far... and I will have to admit... Competing makes me sick.  Like people who get sick when they speak in public, I got sick to my stomach each time I dropped in for my one minute run.  Dang.

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!!!

Skateboarding, art and the web, Parker Newman from Popdeck.com talks about his recently launched skateboard design community.

For your chance to win one of Popdeck's limited boards sign up for a profile on SkateboardVillage and send friend request to Popdeck on SkateboardVillage. On April 23rd one of Popdecks friends will be randomly chosen to win a Popdeck board.

What is Popdeck all about?

Popdeck is essentially a skateboard design competition. Started out as a passion between our love for design/art and skateboarding. We have always collected cool decks as art after we skated them up, and this was just the natural progression.

So who is popdeck or involved with creating the idea?

My twin brother and myself start Popdeck. We were previously in the t-shirt business and have always had a passion for skateboarding. We're located in Chicago.

How does it work?

We have an ongoing contest for skateboard art and every 3 weeks we pick a winner, pay them a prize and print there board. The community has the obligation of choosing the winners by rating each design submitted out of 5. After a winner is chosen, we award them 200 dollars and a free deck.

Don't Break my beat Board design by: nunosk8


Where are the boards made?

Our boards are made in Pennsylvania by the good people of Penn Woods.

Where did you get the idea for the website?

We were pretty involved in the design community from our prior work, and just were so impressed by the different mediums people could use to create art. Being skateboarders since forever, it just seemed like a cool idea.

Do you think more people buying popdeck’s are skating their decks or do you think they are using them as art or to hang on their walls?

Right now we want to say that 90 percent of boards sold are by skateboarders. I think though over the past few years, we have really seen a push to people presenting skateboards as art and we hope to open up into that more. To be honest, you really can’t get a great piece of art for cheaper then 40 bucks. But, at the end of the day, it is a skateboard and most people are grinding them up.

What do you think is the relationship between Skateboarding and Art?

Skateboarding has always been a way for people to express themselves. Whether it is by mastering tricks or the entire graffiti and streetwear scene that goes with it. I think it is a dual serving relationship and we have seen a lot of artist come out that were skaters, these guys then become great artist and then give back to the skate community. A prime example of this to me is having these great grafitti artist that came out in the 90’s are now established gallery artists.

One prime example is Eric Elms, he was very into that whole scene in the 90’s. Started off as just a graf writer and now we have seen his amazing art on skate brands such as Supreme.

 

Why have you decided to produce and sell decks in only 20 units?

We started this as an idea to merge art and skating, but didn’t want this to be something that was completely exposed to the masses. We are a tight niche community and we really want people to know they are getting something unique and hand made. As we grow though we hope to raise quantities, but they will always be hand numbered

$40 for a sweet original designed limited edition deck is a pretty sweet deal, How come you decided to make them so cheap?

It was basically for a few reasons, most importantly we didn’t want price to be a reason people couldn’t experience our brand or for people to be hesitant about ordering from us. Being a direct to consumer company as well, we wanted to take advantage of our margins and give it back to the consumer.

What are the plans for the future of Popdeck.com?

Right now we are just making our site and community better and better. We will constantly mold and improve the site. Also, expect a ton more special contest with great prizes and what not. We are also launching a gallery section, let people show off their pics and videos for prizes.
