True Inspiration...

Johnny Romano lost a long and hard fought battle with cancer today. A true skateboarder in every sense of the word. You will be missed little man...

The cellar isn't so bad today.

Miami took it up to New England and put on a clinic. I guess Belichek's spycam was out of order.

Gone before your time brother...respect is paid.

Proper display by J-Dog

My main man Jeremy Ledlow came by the shop the other day and installed some new display racks in the shop. They came out killer. If you ever need your closet organized, give him a call. Consultations are free, cold beer must be provided though.

Respect...

If you know who this guy is, then your on the right track. Think about this: What have you done for skateboarding? Seriously, think about it. Do you just take or do you give back? Would you rather vibe little kids out of a spot or take some time and show them how to kickflip? Maybe snake the groms until they give up and leave the ramp or help a couple of them learn how to drop in. I know what the guy in the picture would do, and in my opinion we all should aspire (in one way or another) to treat skateboarding the way that Lance Mountain has for the last 30 plus years.

Lance is a living legend who has had my respect since I picked up a skateboard. I don't think there was anyone who has as much fun skateboarding as Lance. His approach has always been light-hearted and fun, while holding his own against some of the biggest rippers of all time in the 80's. Lance has done it all with a smile on his face, an unwaivering faith in God, and a bag of tricks that you will never come close to matching. Lance continues to be a positive inspiration to skaters everywhere, so pay attention and learn something. Check your attitude at the door and leave the bad vibes at home. Let's do this.
