Rachel Reinhard...

So, this chick is pretty good.

One of the best things in this video is that she doesn't push Mongo when skating swinch, and that Back Disaster as her ender is pretty dang dope!!!

Waht is it with chick skaters and "the butt?"

Is it a center of gravity thing?

Why do most of them stick it out?

At any rate, I hope she keeps it up, loosens those trucks, and keeps PWNing.

Skateistan, Skate Afghanistan...

So, Help support a good cause. This is for children and it's especially important to the young children involved.

SKATEISTAN is a non-profit skateboard school teaching the youth of Kabul, Afghanistan how to skate and more... The school engages growing numbers of urban and internally-​displaced youth in Afghanistan through skateboarding, and provides them with new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction, education, and personal empowerment programs.

SKATEISTAN: TO LIVE AND SKATE KABUL from Diesel New Voices on Vimeo.

Skateistan: To Live And Skate Kabul is a beautifully shot film that
follows the lives of a group of young skateboarders in Afghanistan. Operating against the backdrop of war and bleak prospects, the Skateistan charity project is the world’s first co-educational skateboarding school, where a team of international volunteers work with girls and boys between the ages of 5 and 17, an age group largely untouched by other aid programmes.

BY ORLANDO VON EINSIEDEL

Since Skateistan has been active in Kabul, we’ve seen that Afghan youth of all ethnicities, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds love to skateboard. Skateistan brings them together, equipping young men and women to lead their communities toward social change and development.

Thank you for support. http://SKATEISTAN.​org.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "From Mountain Movers, To Lazy Losers" by Fireworks from the album "We Are Everywhere" released in 2006.

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.
