Legends Never Die R.I.P. Fausto Vitello

It's been 5 years today since the co-founder of Independent Trucks and Thrasher Magazine left this Earth. Fausto, I just read, learned English by listening to radio broadcasts of S.F. Giants games. Do a slappy for Fausto today. 1946-2006. Legends never die.

Sneak peek of the Ricky Winsor from Assault Skates. This thing looks good!

Sunday's Slappy

A grainy shot from Friday evening's rainy slappy session will have to suffice for this Sunday's slappy thanks to a car with a bad fuel pump. Otherwise I would have spent my 39th birthday doing what I did on my 38th. Skateboarding. I did receive a new camera this year though so be on the lookout for better quality photographs as well as some special features that I'm working on such as interviews with up and coming rippers in the local area, reader submitted photos, and skateboarding from everywhere I can find it.

Sk8 For A Cure

Bob sent out an updated flyer today. June 18, 2011 at Local's Skatepark in Cincinnati, Ohio. A great event for a good cause. Just look at the sponsors!

Assault Two Tone Deck Popsicle Shape

8" by 32" for those who like to go both ways. Goofy and regular, get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about skating switch! Made in U.S.A. from Assault.

Big Ketchup

Ohio's Mark Heintzman and Assault Skateboards! A classic shape with double kick and Assault's Kreep concave. Sure to be big with collectors and skaters. I recommend you buy 2 and have one to ride and one to display.
