SkateboardVillage News: Matix News - Frankfurt to Berlin
By: SkateboardVillage.com

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”.

My Blog: The Writhing South
By: alex_959595

Searching for blood in the salty sea
The sun beating down on the chest in back of me
Looking for drugs in a southern town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I’ve got this red right hand that points me south
The puke green clouds just spat me out into the hot, hot lands.
I landed with no shoes.

I hear
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me, hey"

Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you writhe again soon.
Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you writhe again soon.

Alright we're gonna do it again for ya now. Okay YEAH....OH YEAH....YEAH!

They've got the army of ears; they can’t hear you now
I got the piss in my veins in these furrowed brows
You've got this one last change to burn me, turn me down
If not I’ve got these last 12 bucks to spend on you
You can take me anywhere your sick mind wants to
Use yourself to fuel me using you

I hear
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey come pollinate me, hey"

Across the room, across the room, I hope to watch you writhe again soon.

By: SkateboardVillage.com

GOING GREEN AND MAKING PROGRESS!

At Matix, progress is everything. So when we looked at hosting an Am tour this year, we were encouraged by Matix am team rider Torey Pudwill to look at alternative fuel vehicles and Hybrid technology for our road trip, as a way of contributing toward a “greener” environment. Along with Torey’s encouragement for skateboarders to drive Hybrid vehicles, we here at Matix couldn't say no to adopting four Hybrid vehicles for this epic tour of the southwestern hemisphere, thanks to our friends atDavid Wilson’s Southbay Toyota.

If you're gonna be in the Gilbert, AZ area or the South Jordan, UT area in June, please join the Matix am team at the shops listed below for an autograph signing, great giveaways and hanging in the Hybrids! Torey Pudwill, Mike Mo Capaldi,Lamare Hemmings, Marty Murawski, Jordan Williams and Mike Anderson encourage you to choose Hybrid technology in the future, for the future.

My Blog: Captain and Casey are Back!
By: Captain_Casey

The Captain and Casey have been on FUEL TV since the channel started in 2003, and over the last three years, their show, “The Captain And Casey Show” has become one of the most popular on the channel thanks to the duo turning what looks like a very low-budget studio set into an roller derby track, a Mexican wrestling ring, and hosting a toga party, among other things.

The Captain (Jeff Carlson) and Chris Casey grew up together in St. Louis and have known each other for years. Whether they’re on screen or not, the duo banter back and forth constantly, cracking inside jokes, making references to things that only they and their close friends would get, and pretty much have a great time all the time.

The Captain and Casey recently sat down with us (only after we offered them a few beers) and discussed the upcoming season of “The Captain And Casey Show” on FUEL TV. Here’s what they had to say:

What are some of the highlights of the new season?

Casey: The day that the Captain had diarrhea and he was hung up by the harness.

Captain: I didn’t have diarrhea. I was just hung over.

Casey: We also got to cover the entire set in snow for the first time ever! Then there was the time that we had a sand box built in the studio and we had more people than ever on the set. It was very hectic!

Captain: It was for the guys from Sugar Skateboards. They like ollieing over sand gaps in Santa Monica, so we wanted to make them feel at home.

Casey: But Marco (Jazbinsek, Sugar Skateboards owner) didn’t bring his bangy bong. We were bummed.

Captain: Another highlight is we got a new couch for the set.

Casey: How’s that feel? I never get to sit on it. I’m always behind the desk playing with Keggy, running the trains, and keeping stuff going.

Captain: It’s really comfortable.

Casey: There’s also lots of good skating this season.

Captain: They let us out of the studio a lot more.

Casey: To all the readers, if you’re lucky, we’ll be coming to your town soon!

What about some of the guests who will be on the show this season?

Casey: Rob Dyrdek is on this season, and you get to see a trailer of his new movie with P. Rod called “Street Dreams.”

Casey, at the beginning of every show, you’re in bed with two girls. Tell us about that night?

Casey: Well, maybe we smoked the cigarettes you see in the background, and maybe we drank the alcohol you see in the room. I can tell you I’ve passed out on plenty of women in my time. The funny thing was the motel owner thought we were filming a porno in there. Maybe we were …

Captain: Here’s an interesting fact: The driver of the limo in the show’s intro is actually Justin Bokma. He used to be a pro for Balance Skateboards.

So Captain, are you actually a “captain” of anything?

Captain: Of fun! I think everyone is the captain of their own ship.

Casey: He actually does have his boat license!

Captain: I’m into making beer right now. I’ve also started a club called the California Leisure Activities Club—CLAC. You can try to join if you want. We’re into leisure activities like hammocks, yatching, bbqs, archery, badminton, and I just started getting into guns.

Casey: Yeah, let’s go to the gun range and shoot some stuff!

Now that you guys are big TV stars, do you get recognized a lot?

Casey: If we’re together, we get recognized all the time.

Captain: I went to rent a boat, and the guy who was cleaning the boat looked at me and said: “I thought the Captain would have a bigger boat.” And I didn’t know what he was talking about. But then he said he was a big fan of the show. So that’s the kind of person who watches the show--guys who clean out the toilets in boats!

Anything else you guys want to mention?

Casey: We’re always auditioning for new cocktail waitresses on the show. If you’re a good looking girl and you want to be on our show, e-mail us a picture at: info@remotecontrolmonkey.tv.

Look for the new season of “The Captain And Casey Show” on FUEL TV beginning May 20, 2007. Original episodes premiere on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm ET/PT during the “Stacked Sundays” programming block and re-air several times throughout the week.

My Blog: Skateboarding from the point of view of a COP
By: caymanskateboarder

I am originaly from England, I first made a skateboard out of a peace of wood and half a roller skate, which I used on a incline near to a bus stop, the amount of times a bus went over it and I had to make a new one.

I moved to Grand Cayman in 1988 and since then I have joined the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service. My interest is making a difference in young peoples lives. To me thats what it is all about inspire them to keep out of trouble, it gives me less to do with them, however the job never stops.

In 2003 Mr. Mike Bell an Entrapreneur broke ground on a skatepark,nobody really knew how big it was going to be; was it going to be a bowl or a couple of humps to ride over (nobody knew). I use to go with my kids and the wife, Sean 3 years old then rode a big board on his knees, however he had no fear and rode down all the heavy ramps.His mother stopped going because she was scared to see what he was doing. Brian was 12 years old and he was learning the basics. Anyway the park continued to grow until one day that was it, it stood before us. If anybody comes to Black Pearl guranteed it takes your breath away. We have had Tony Hawke, Burnquist, Scheckler, Bam, Darin naveret, Sam Hitz, Pete Hewitt, Mark Appleyard, Steve Nesser, Dayone Song, Brian Patch, Patt Duffy, Jimmy The Greek, Steve Olson, and so many others including Mike Vaellely skate the park, THey are all impressed by what the park has, EVERYTHING>

During my time going to the park I did not realize what I had right in front of me; I am always trying to find ways to get through to kids. I once went to the boys home in Grand Cayman and I was having a difficult time getting through to them, so I mentioned skateboarding. They all suddenly changed from being nervouse to talking enthusiatic, I asked them if they would like a movie night they all agreed. The next week I took Sean and Brian and a pro skateboarder. the pro told them what he does for a living, where he is building a house (Brazil) and where in the world he has been. These kids were listening and we had there input also. We watched TWIGGS by Element and they were glued to their seats.

After the evening finished I asked them would thye like to visit Black Pearl, they all agreed. So the next Saturday we went and I had the kids at the park who skate help these non skaters, I was amazed to see them working together, I was satisfied when I saw the smile on their faces when they rode down a ramp with out falling. One kid was even trying fly outs and he had never been on a skateboard before.

The local Tv station and News Papers did a story on the event which to me was a great success.

After seeing the reaction of these kids I decided the best way to go on was to research building a ramp. I saved some money (a lot as things are expensive hear). And with the help of Mr. Philip Berry the mose respected skater at the park even the pro's show their respect as believe me he can skate street with the best. WE decided on a spott my back yard, Philip I must admit did most of the work as he knew exactly what he was doing. The ramp was completed and my kids skated it, I invited local kids round to the house and I gave boards to the ones who did not have their own. Some time after Lost Clothing came to the Island shooting a movie. I spoke to them showed them pictures of the ramp and it was set they would skate it. They came to the house and we had local kids there as well. At the time we had a trampoline and the kids (I Meen the pros) had a great time. Patt Duffy, Brian Patch, Jimmy The Greek and others showed off their moves, however the one who took the day was Juliana my daughter the skateboarding baby she was under 8 months old going up and down on the ramp. All this was on film later it was shown on Fuel TV, they even put me on the websight as the chief of police, I did say Sorry to the Boss.

The Cayman Compass did a big story which was good publicity for skateboarding.

Some time after Mike Vallely and Mark Jeremias came to Black Pearl to do a movie called DRIVE I spole to them and showed them picture of our ramp; which by the way has the best back drop THE CARIBBEAN OCEAN. And they both liked the idea of including the ramp, they also asked me if I could do an interview as they were intrigued to see a cop promoting skateboarding ( imagine a COP who skatebaords and supports it). ON the Saturday Mike V and Mark came to the house , he had a mini ramp session with the local kids and the skateboarding baby came out again and showed off her moves. The funny thing was Mark had to re do the shot so I put juliana on the board and she was going up and down and some body said something is wrong as her head went towards the board, she fell asleep and I caught her in my arms. Mike then Interviewed me in Full uniform on the ramp, it went pretty well, however it was really hot I got sunburn. The local media came to the house also and did there part to promote which was good.

Recently we had Addict skateboards doing some video footage for Havoc.com at the house. Packy who skates for addict, an amateur called Aryeh Kraus who works for a skate shop in Cali and Keith Johnson ( Aryeh did a DVD called RIGHT STATE OF MIND) if you can get that dvd you will be stoaked it is fantastic skateboard footage, I have never seen a manual that keeps going like the Energizer Bunny.

They came around and did there stuff. A couple of weeks ago I got a copy of DRIVE FIELD OF DREAMS from Mark and I made copies and shared it with Department of Tourism who told the UK office they got in touch with me and asked me to do a BIO and story about skateboarding. Local News Papers did a story, radio Cayman interviewed me. CITN local TV did a story and showed 45 seconds of Field Of Dreams, they bigged up MIke V, Mark, and FUEL TV.

A law enforcement association in the US have asked me to do a presentation on what I do with skateboarding. Concrete Wave also asked me to do a story Skateboarding From the point of view of a COP>

Field of Dreams came out on 8th April 2007 and has been shown regularly on Fuel TV. The show will aire also in May 2007 so if you have not seen it check it out.

Cayman Compass came to the house and did another story which was in the news paper on Tuesday April 17th 2007 it featured me the kids and also one of our friends who visits us with his parents from Colorado Alex Brunelle who skates the competition circuit in the US he is 14 years old and he is very good at skating.

So we have action in the Cayman Islands.

I am sharing this with you all as I do have a message to share. It does not matter how old you are,what colour you are , where your from,what sex you are, if you are religouse or not, the colours you wear. Skateboarding crosses boarders. Any kid who picks up a skateboard is a winner as they are following pioneers, people who sacrificed, Blood, Sweat, Broken Bones, to make the sport what it is today, nearly every TV programe has skateboarding in it so it is now main stream and getting bigger.I feel Bob Burnquist has paved the way for the Olympics as he carried the Olympic Torch on a skateboard through the streets of RIO.

I am doing my part to make a difference, do the same in your community.

I live on an Island 27 miles long and 8 miles wide I am making change in more ways than one, which is being heard around the world. Cayman is not even on some maps and yet the voice of one who has a dream is being heard. If you have seen Drive, Field of Dreams you have heard my passion, I intend to share this with others so they are inspired to do the same.It Takes ONE TO CHANGE.

Remember one thing Like the late BOB Marley said in song "ONE BLOOD" that is what we are so if you are one who does "HATE" STOP THE HATE!!! SKATE FOR LIFE !!! SKATE FOR CHANGE>

Oh Noes! My Opinions Killed Your Face.: c u n t moose? Haha.
By: xxDiscoxDollyxx

Mmm...So...

Life has been decent.

Please don't, like, f*ck it up.

Thankss.

And, uh, yeah.

I'm glad to be drama-less.

I've been a lot happier the past week/week and a half.

So, yeah, I'm glad I cut out the elements that were causing me stress.

Heh.

exxs and ohhhsss. :] <333

Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take to the highway
With this trunk of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know just how much you mean to me
And after all the things we put each other through and

I would drive on to the end with you
A liquor store or two keeps the gas tank full
And I feel like there's nothing left to do
But prove myself to you and we'll keep it running

But this time, I mean it
I'll let you know just how much you mean to me
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of everything
I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold

Until the end, until this pool of blood
Until this, I mean this, I mean this
Until the end of...

I'm trying, I'm trying
To let you know how much you mean
As days fade, and nights grow
And we go cold

But this time, we'll show them
We'll show them all how much we mean
As snow falls on desert sky
Until the end of every...

All we are, all we are
Is bullets I mean this

As lead rains, will pass on through our phantoms
Forever, forever
Like scarecrows that fuel this flame we're burning
Forever, and ever
Know how much I want to show you you're the only one
Like a bed of roses there's a dozen reasons in this gun

And as we're falling down, and in this pool of blood
And as we're touching hands, and as we're falling down
And in this pool of blood, and as we're falling down
I'll see your eyes, and in this pool of blood
I'll meet your eyes, I mean this forever

Woah-oh-oh woah-oh woah-oh
f*ck the world,

One trillion dollars to Africa, Iraq
One trillion dollars and it’s never coming back
One trillion dollars could buy some bad-ass drugs
One trillion dollars makes me wanna kill myself

Woah-oh-oh woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh
f*ck the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight
Woah-oh-oh woah-oh woah-oh
f*ck the world, yeah, yeah

f*ck the world
f*ck 'em all

[Note: there's also version where they sing "Kill 'em all" instead of "f*ck 'em all" in the chorus]

"The Press Corpse"

The {Downing Street} memo says...

...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice

We don't want to talk about it...

The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say...

"We don't want to talk about it!"

The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!"
The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song
While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies
The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
As embeds report what they're fed

We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...

(We don't want to talk about it...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it
(We don't want to...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

“DRIVE” blends action with information, delivering an impactful and insightful look at the sport of skateboarding. In the process, the show empowers and inspires its viewers to be active and compassionate and to pursue their talents and life dreams.

“DRIVEs” star Mike Vallely started skateboarding in fall of 1984 and was sponsored only two years later in the summer of 1986 by Powell Peralta. In 1987, he turned professional as part of the famous Powell Peralta Bones Brigade team that included skate legends Tony Hawk and Steve Caballero. He’s been traveling the world sharing his skateboarding and message of individuality and self expression ever since. Mike’s current sponsors include Element, Destructo Trucks, Speed Metal Bearings, Sobe, and Jeep.

“For me, ‘DRIVE’ is what skateboarding and action sports are all about -- lifestyle and accessibility, true grass-roots connection, and community,” says Vallely. “When I started skateboarding this was what I found to be true and what I believed in. This is what attracted me to skateboarding. And this is the vision I've always had for what I wanted to do as a professional skater. I truly get to live every mile.”

“DRIVE” is produced by Build Worldwide. The series is created and directed by Mark Jeremias, and this season is shot on location throughout North America, Israel, and the Cayman Islands. In one segment, Mike visits the South in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and takes a raw look at how the skateboarding community has adapted to the displacement and havoc that the disaster caused.

“We’re really happy with the storylines that have developed this season,” says Jeremias. “From White Hall, Arkansas to Jerusalem, Israel, it’s always rewarding to see that no matter where we go in the world, people connect with Mike’s message and how ‘DRIVE’ is able to capture and convey that message in a way that both skaters and non-skaters can relate to.”

“The viewer response we had from the first season was so strong that we ordered another run of seven episodes plus a special surprise bonus eighth episode,” says Shon Tomlin, FUEL TV’s VP of Programming and Development. “This new season builds on the same themes of the past, but also sheds new light on unlikely skate havens like the Middle East and hurricane-stricken New Orleans. Mike’s remarkable talent for getting to the heart and soul of skateboarding is both powerful and entertaining.”

Look for the new season of “DRIVE” on FUEL TV beginning April 1, 2007. Original episodes premiere on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm ET/PT during the “Stacked Sundays” programming block and re-air several times throughout the week. The series is seven weeks long and will feature a bonus eighth episode airing in FUEL TV’s Friday night “Skate @ 8” skateboarding block later in the spring.

Colonies.com Network Wide News: New Pollution
By: Colonies.com

Many young riders today aren’t simply imitating their heroes, they’re often the ones evolving their sport the most – leaving the established pros to catch up or pack up. These kids are what New Pollution is all about.

Each half-hour episode will feature 3 of the best young athletes from across the core action sports realm: surf, snow, skate, bmx, fmx, and wake. Since the age range of our riders is 16 and under, they might not always be old enough to drive a car, but they can probably air over one.

Hosted by professional surfer Matt Beacham, New Pollution will bring viewers into the world of these amazing athletes. Do they go to school like most kids, or are they home-schooled? How did they get so good at such a young age? How do they (and their parents) deal with broken bones? With contests 8 hours away? With traveling around the country, and sometimes the world, before their voice cracks? What music do they listen to? What movies do the like? What websites do they visit everyday? Viewers will find out as we give them a slice of life from these young riders’ lives… not to mention action footage that will blow more than a few minds.

New Pollution begins airing December 31^st, with a new episode coming each Sunday for 13 weeks.

INAUGURAL "ARBY’S® ACTION SPORTS AWARDS" TO PREMIERE ON FOX, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10

Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White Up For Three Awards;
Olympians Hannah Teter, Gretchen Bleiler and Lindsey Jacobellis Compete for Female Snowboarder of the Year

Fans to Begin Voting Online Now at www.fuel.tv

The top action sports performances of the year will be honored at the inaugural Arby’s® Action Sports Awards presented by FUEL TV, airing nationally on FOX, Sunday, December 10. The ceremony will bring together the biggest names in skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX, freestyle motocross and more along with dozens of celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum for one star-studded, high-flying show!

FMX star Travis Pastrana received four nominations following his double backflip performance at this summer’s X Games. Jamie Bestwick, one of the top BMX vert riders in the world, also received four nominations. Shaun White is up for three awards coming off his Olympic Gold Medal and Winter X Games Gold Medal snowboard runs. Lindsey Jacobellis contends for Female Snowboarder of the Year with fellow Olympians Hannah Teter and Gretchen Bleiler. The competition continues out of the water for surfers Andy and Bruce Irons, Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Sofia Mulanovich, Rochelle Ballard and Chelsea Georgeson, among other top pros.

“Being nominated for one award would be special, but four awards is truly unbelievable,” said Pastrana. “I’ve had just an amazing year and to be recognized by the industry is an honor.”

Winners will be determined by the combination of fan balloting and a panel of expert judges, then announced during taped ceremonies on November 30. FOX will air the show nationally on December 10, at 2:30 PM ET/PT or 4:30 PM ET/PT either preceding or following local NFL coverage that afternoon (check local listings). FUEL TV, the only 24/7 network dedicated to the lifestyle of action sports, is hosting online voting now for fans and viewers at www.fuel.tv.

"FOX Sports is happy to be working in conjunction with our brethren at FUEL to bring the Arby's Action Sports Awards to the entire country," said FOX Sports President Ed Goren. "Action sports are growing in popularity every year, and this show highlights the best of the best."

The Arby’s Action Sports Awards is produced by Future Mainstream Productions and the award-winning team of Bob Bain and Mike Burg, veterans of such events as the "Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards" and the "Teen Choice Awards." FUEL TV is supporting the event with its signature red carpet series "Blue Carpet Special," a special preview show premiering November 6, and will re-telecast the Arby’s Action Sports Awards throughout December.

"The growth and popularity of action sports is at an all-time high and it is time to honor such amazing feats as Shaun White’s Olympic Gold Medal and Travis Pastrana’s double backflip at the X Games," said Bain. "Not only do children aspire to be the next Pastrana or White, but the music and entertainment industries have a true affinity for these sports, so we look forward to putting together a memorable event for viewers."

Arby’s has signed on to be the presenting sponsor and other major sponsors include Jeep®, Activision and Nike. "Through this event, we’ve been able to create an unprecedented integrated marketing platform to reach the highly sought-after male 14-34 demo in the fourth quarter," said Burg. "For a creative and aggressive marketer, the opportunities to work with the show are endless"

"This was a fantastic opportunity for us to partner with a brand new awards program that recognizes young athletes for extraordinary talents," said Debra Mager, Senior Vice President of National Advertising, Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. "These kids take risks and excel at being different, which is something we at Arby’s have always prided ourselves on."

A panel of industry experts nominated the top athletes in 20 different categories. Many of the awards are sport and gender specific such as Skateboarder of the Year (male and female) and FMX Rider of the Year. Achievements that transcend the genre have been nominated in categories such as Rider of the Year, Huevos Grande and Performance of the Year.

Trying to forgive as my life is fading,Blowing up the night while my heart is racing,Tearing up my soul i cant seem to break it,and im trying to take all i can

CHORUS

All of our lives are in danger from crying and praying for love in each others eyes,People hating the words from death and a sin will come apon us to take our broken lies

The things i've done,The lies i've told,Burning like liquid fire in my soul,The nights i've spent without your breath of flaming fuel in everyone's death

CHORUS

All of our lives are in danger from crying and praying for love in eath others eyes,People hating the words from death and a sin will come apon us to take our Broken Lies

Im trying to take,take our lives away,and fall into a world of darkness,that WILL SOMEDAY BE MY FATE

CHORUS

All of our lives are in danger from crying and praying for each others eyes,People hating the words from death and a sin will come apon us to tak our Broken Lies

Your love wil be mine once again as i fall into the world of Darkness and our Broken Lies

CHORUSx3

All our lives are in danger from crying and praying in each others eyes,People hating words from death and a sin will come apon to take our Broken Lies

All our live are in danger from crying and praying for each others eyes,People haing words from death and a sin will come apon to take our Broken Lies

All our lives are in danger from crying and praying for each others eyes,People hating the words from death and a sin will come apon to take our Broken Lies,and MAKE THEM RIGHT AGAIN!!!
