Washington Street Skatepark Benefit.

The Washington Street Skatepark needs your help. The boys have organized a benefit concert, June 14th at Brick by Brick here in San Diego.

Scope the flyer.

Incase you don't know or haven't heard, the park is well on it's way. Construction is heavy and daily. Whenever you have some free time - go help out. It's fun and you're actually contributing to a real root-dog cause. there's no pre-fab here!

Sucking the Life Tour update.

Report from the road. "Toy Machine is a demoing machine!" said one guy.

The boys are out killing demos! They each spent $grip$ the first day buying BB guns, paintball guns, slingshots and lots of ammunition! Can't wait to see the footage of that chaos. Shops are reporting that kids are leaving with sore butts, covered in paint screaming Toy Machine rules!

Wes at FF in Oklahoma, "they were on time".
Holmes at FF in Texas, "hundreds of kids wrapped around the store".

More updates as they happen.

Help skateboarding, support SB994.

Got this in today, it looks as though we could all help the future of skateboarding per this message. Read on below.

Subject: Skatepark Alert!! SB 994 Date: 5/7/02 8:28 PM

Do you like public skateparks?

Then click on this link and let the world know. Be a part of the solution to keeping public skateparks growing and going.

CLICK HERE: skateboardiasc.com

Ladies and Gents,

Despite previous efforts to profile the urgency of our support of SB994 I find there remains a bit of confusion as to how or why or what--thus another attempt to help clarify our role.

The above link is one you can visit and or have all of your internet users link to...

The concept is simple, get people around the world, the USA, and CA to voice their support of SB 994.

This bill, if passed, guarantees public skateparks for the immediate future. Without this legislation the future of CA CA's public skateparks

will be determined in the courts on a case to case basis. We don't want that to happen because most parks and rec folks will be very uneasy without the bill and their immediate choice will more than likely be to close their public park.

The legislative process continues throughout the summer, there will be hearings in June, that I will attend, and in July, and probably again in

September and October (my sport coat is dry-cleaned and I'll even iron my tie).

NOW IS THE TIME TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE THAT SKATEBOARDERS WANT PUBLIC SKATEPARKS AND THEY WANT SB994 TO BE PASSED.

PUBLIC PARKS NEED YOUR HELP!!
