MOM READS ME BUS EVERY NIGHT BEFORE BED

R.I.P. EARTHQUAKE POOL

THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS SPOT WAS WHEN YOU WOULD STAND AT THE TOP OF THE POOL THEN LOOK DOWN YOU COULDN’T SEE THE WALL. JUST CAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH OVERVERT FROM THE FOUN-DATION OF THE POOL SLIPPING AWAY OVER TIME. LAST I HEARD THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR CE-MENTED NAILS FACE UP ALL OVER THE POOL, SHE JUST COULDN’T HANDLE THE NOISE I GUESS. R.I.P. EARTHQUAKE POOL MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL

“WE BUILT YOU GUYS THAT DRUGPARK SO YOU WOULDN’T SELL DRUGS ON THE STREETS. NOW SCRAM BEFORE I WRITE ALL YOU PUNKASSES TICKETS.”

ROLLERBLADING COPS IS LIKE THE DORK IN SCHOOL WHOSE MOM MADE HIM WEAR THAT GAY SWEATER ON FRIDAYS.

1)Why should we pay attention to Ricky Webb?I RIDE A SKATEBOARD, LOVE IT TO DEATH, AND DREAM OF MAKING A CAREER OUT OF IT SOMEDAY.

2) On a normal day where can we find you?IN THE MORNING YOU CAN FIND ME AT MY HOUSE IN THE LBC. IN THE AFTERNOON IM SKATING AROUND LA OR THE OC.

3) Is skateboarding for the kids?IT’S FOR THE KIDS 100%. THEY ARE THE DREAMERS AND THE FUTURE. I WAS JUST A KID WHEN I PICKED UP A SKATEBOARD. I STILL HAVE THE SAME LOVE FOR SKATING NOW THAN I DID WHEN I WAS LITTLE KID. IT’S AMAZING!

4) When is the best time to chill?WHEN MY SKATEBOARD GOES TO SLEEP. LOL

CHEST HIGH SUCKA!

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS GROWING UP MY BEST FRIEND, THE KID WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO BLAZE, HAD A COUSIN WHO WAS WELL VERSED IN THE MARY JANE GAME. THIS FOOL, I FORGOT HIS NAME, WAS ONE OF THE MOST, O.G. GANSTER FOOLS I HAVE EVER KNOWN PERSONALLY. THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM HE STILL HAD THE SECURITY BEEPER ATTACHED TO THE FRESHLY STOLEN SWEATSHIRT HE WAS WEARING. ANYWAYS, THIS FOOL WOULD ALWAYS HAVE THIS METHOD-ICAL WAY OF SMOKING. HERE AS SOME OF O.G. COUSINS WAYS TO CONSERVE YOUR DANK, YOUR HIGH, ETC. 1. PUT VISINE IN BEFORE YOU SMOKE, IT WONT BRING DOWN YOUR HIGH. 2. EAT BEFORE YOU SMOKE, IT WONT BRING DOWN YOUR HIGH. 3. WITH A DIME BAG YOU CAN ROLL ONE BLUNT, SMOKE HALF NOW, HALF LATER. 4. IF YOU SMOKE A CIGARETTE AFTER YOU BLAZE, YOU INCREASE YOUR HIGH BY 25% 5. KOOL AID IS A CHEAP WAY TO STAY HYDRATED. 6.BROTHA LYNCH IS A GOOD WAY TO STAY ELEVATED. 7. ONLY EAT WATERMELON IF THERE IS FRIED CHICKEN CLOSELY AVAILABLE. 8. A BUNCH OF ROACHES EQUALS ONE REJUVINATOR BLUNT.

9. SMOKE RESIN IF NECESSARY, JUST NOT WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND.

PRODUCT REVIEWSKI

UPFUL HARDWARE:

SOUNDCLASH SKATEBOARDS:

THOSE STONERS AT UPFUL MAKE SOME NICE STUFF. I WOULD

SAY IT IS COMPARABLE TO SHORTY’S BUT MORE COLOR-

FUL. QUALITY SHIT THOUGH. THEY ALSO MAKE AXLE NUTS

WHICH I FIND TO COME IN HANDY BECAUSE I AM THE

PRIMOSLIDE MASTER SO I SCRAPE UP MY AXLE ENDS ALOT.

DID I MENTION THEY HAVE FOOLS LIKE TOSH TOWNEND

AND JAMES CRAIG. BUT IT’S NOT LIKE THAT MATTERS TO

YOU ANYWAYS. SUPPORT UPFUL HARDWARE, IT’S TIGHTER

THAN YOUR LITTLE.

LONG STORY SHORT THIS IS SOME GEORGE JETSON

TYPE SHIT IN YOUR HAND. HD VIDEOCAMERA, MP3

PLAYER, 11 MEGAPIXEL STILL CAM, DVR RECORDER,

WEBCAM, VOICE RECORDER & SOME MODELS HAVE

VIDEO GAME FEATURES ALSO. DAMN THATS A

MOUTHFUL, AND THE KICKER IS THAT IT IS ABOUT

THE SIZE OF AN I-PHONE ONLY A LITTLE THICKER.

BASICALLY YOU WILL NEVER BE CAUGHT OFF GUARD

WHEN SPLIT SECOND HIJINX HAPPENS. OR JUST USE

IT INSTEAD OF THAT CLUNKY CAMERA YOU GOT. OH

BTW IT’S 1080i HD FOR ALL YOU GEEKS THAT WERE

WONDERING.

OH AND SINCE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF CHUMPS

AREN’T SUPPORTING PRO SKATEBOARDERS, YOU

MIGHT AS WELL START SUPPORTING HIP HOP ARTISTS.

SOUNDCLASH MAKES SKATEBOARDS THAT ACTUALLY

HAVE MASS POP. SUPPORT UNDERGROUND HIPHOP

ARTISTS SUCH AS DEFARI, NECRO, LIVING LEGENDS,

AND 2 MEX. SOUNDCLASH ALSO MAKES EXCLUSIVE

MUSIC FEATURING THESE ARTISTS. I SNAGGED A FEW

AND CONTEMPLATED HANGING THEM ON MY WALL,

BUT IN THE END, I AM A SKATEBOARDER AT HEART, I

COULDN’T LET THAT SHIT JUST HANG OUT. AND SINCE

THEY ARE SOLD AT SKATESHOPS, YOU DON’T HAVE TO

SUPPORT THOSE CORPORATE ASSHOLES EITHER.

ONE LOVE!

I WENT TO SPORTS CHALET TO GET GLOVES AND SAW A CHRIS DOBSTAFF DECK ON THE WALL, I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND I GUESS HE RIDES FOR SOME TOY R US BRAND. ANYWAYS SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARDING AND QUALITY PRODUCTS, DON’T BUY THAT STANDARD SHIT, LIKE BLANK BOARDS, SHOP HARDWARE, SHOP GRIP, BLANK WHEELS, ETC. KEEP IT INDUSTRY, SO MAYBE OUR HEROS CAN KEEP PAYING THEIR BILLS WITHOUT RIDING FOR TOYS R US AND IT’S PARENT COMPANIES. REMEMBER THAT EXTRA MONEY YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHIT, IS ACTU-ALLY GOING TO THE SKATERS THEMSELVES. AND THEIR ILLBEGOTTEN CHILDREN. THAT BEING SAID, IT LOOKS GAY WHEN YOU WALK OUT OF THE MALL WITH A BRAND NEW SETUP. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKATESHOP BEEYOTCH!
