Maple XO...

So, once upon a time there was a girl named Lindsay Holmes. A girl with an idea for saving landfill space and a sense of style that was above and beyond others all the while supporting a sport that stands for individuality, much like her own. I am talking of course about Maple xo recycled skateboard jewelry. Linsday takes old skateboards and cuts them up and sands them smooth into many different shapes and sizes of Earrings, Bracelets & plain old Rings. They are also sold at mai friend Steve's skate shop in Bartlett, IL. called Yeah! Boardshop.

Live. Love. Wear. Three words to live by if your heart is truly in the [not a] sport of skateboarding. I'm sure you all have some sort of friend of the female persuasion that is down for skating just as much as you are or even if she is just doing it to get your attention. Girls, if you are out there and skate, by all means get behind this product and show your support for another girl who is down for the cause and for life. If you are a girl and you follow GRO or SLAG or if you know a girl skater who loves the sport but is afraid of the boys being pricks or just trying to get on them, czech out these two sites. They are aimed at spreading the word of skateboarding to girls who are afraid to start for those reasons or that they think that skating is for boiz only. Here is a clip from the Hollywood Summit Show interviewing Courtney from GRO [facebook] and here is a video of a SLAG video clip of a clinic for you to watch. Long story short and possibly boring, Support girl skaters, support local business, support the little guy or girl doing their own thing because they're not just out to make a buck, they are out doing it because it's there passion and it is what they believe in.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Sunrise (come my way)" by Buffalo from the album "Volcanic Rock" 1973, some great rock that would be right up the Good Ole Boys alley. Goodnight.
