Nike Skateboarding Offices and Random Bid’niss
Clements, Schaefer, and I just got back from meetings with all our friends at Nike SB regarding Skatepark of Tampa and SPoT Productions. We’re planning everything from Tampa Am and Pro, to the future of our partnership, to the execution of our 20-Year Anniversary coming up at the end of the year and more. Here’s a bit behind the scenes and a short tour of the Nike offices.
People Watching on Venice Beach
Been lurking on Venice Beach this morning. I spent five minutes in front of that trail that goes by the skatepark to snap some random people watching…
Four Blockbuster Million Dollar Clothing Ideas, Cash in Now
Clothing companies come and go, especially in the fickle skateboard industry. Here are a few ideas I offer to make a quick buck, or even a quick million bucks, before your clothing company takes the next shit. You’re welcome.
- Tank Bottoms - tank tops are hot again. Imagine a shirt with the bottom portion fashioned into an upside down tank top almost looking like a pro wrassler’s outfit. Yep, tank bottoms could easily be the new shit. I expect a tank bottom would look pretty sick with a pair of jongs. Jongs? Yeah, see #2 here:
- Jongs - take jean shorts, aka Jorts, one step over the pond to Euroland and you got a denim banana hammock with ass cheeks on the dangle. It’s going to take someone like Jason Dill to bring these over to totally core grassroots skateboarding, which we all know is the springboard to mainstream. Don’t count your millions before they hatch, though.
- Cargo Sacks - I don’t think anyone has the power to make hip sacks cool, but you can still sell them to that weird cut of society that backs cargo pants and shorts. Yep, take an extra pocket and slap it on the outside of a plain old hip sack and goddamn you got yourself a bonafide clothing gimmick: Cargo sacks! The tourist shops will thank you.
- Convertible T-Shirt - you never know when tank tops are cool or not, so how about taking a cue from your traveling dad’s closet. Those convertible pants he has that unzip at the knee to form instant shorts are one step away from sinking to the lows of wearing sweatpants in public. Imagine a t-shirt you could unzip the sleeves off for Superman-like transformation into tank top guy, just like those dad pants, but like, kewl. Straight to the flex with that, too.
Lurkin the streets of Hollywood for a foot fetish on a blank star. Insert your name for to win the fame game.
The Great Case of the Poo Poo Bandit at Skatepark of Tampa
We’ve got a perpetrator here committing atrocious acts, or should I say poopetrator. Yep, this mystery character I refer to as the Poo Poo Bandit is not settling for the plain old upper decker. That’s too easy since you have actual privacy when executing that despicable act. This fecal criminal is TAKING A DUMP IN THE URINALS here at SPoT. Yes, you read that right. Full stand up, forward facing, hot steamy log pinch in plain view of any would be innocent bathroom arrivals. The poopetrator has struck three times now (three times!?!) and it’s about time we get to the bottom of it. I interviewed some of the staff to get some clues to kick off my investigation. To your left here is an artist rendition of what the sneaky poopetrator may look like. Put on your thinking caps and maybe some rubber gloves. You can help me solve the case of the Poo Poo Bandit.
A few photos from the Star Wars shindig at The Bricks last night…
A few skateboard photos from my favorite little spot down the street from where I live.
Dinner in Spain Restaurant last night included a great show. It’s pretty damn good that we can walk across the street for this.
