Baker Skateboards Closing Down?
2008-04-03 20:02:00
A Canadian skate blog has an interesting post today. It is talking about the end of baker skateboards...somehow.Apparently Baker wants to be its own distributor, but is under contract with the guys that distribute Flip & Birdhouse, so there is a discrepancy. So, Baker is going to start their own company entitled Deathwish Skateboards. That's right, their own skateboard company and right out of the gate they will launch new pro's with a crash and burn in the new baker video.More on this as it develops, I'm wondering if this is true, or just an April Fool's thing.Spend $50, get Free Shipping plus a $10 Gift Certificate at Karmaloop.com!

Mark Gonzales Adidas SB Limited
2008-04-03 00:34:00
The Gonz is certainly not impressing anyone with these latest shoes from Adidas skate division. His name is on them, but the design looks really weird, and well...they are hard to find. I haven't seen anything from Adidas or their skateboarding team in any skate shops that I've visited, nor have I found them online in any capacity. Maybe they are so limited that people in the states aren't getting anything?I know he's huge in France, and his art career is huge, but come on...how about showing some love to the shops? Adidas skateboarding is doing something, I'm just not sure if it is right or not.Spend $50, get Free Shipping plus a $10 Gift Certificate at Karmaloop.com! Offer valid through 4.30.08.

Trickwood Sales: Report

Just when you thought I was the mystery writer that didn't actually skate, or support the scene at all, I come at you with this post of my exploits this weekend. I was out and about, checking out the local sale that I had mentioned in a previous post. Manik,Trickwood,35th,Goods, and Innerspace were having a huge skateboarding sale, and I decided to check it out.These kids were trying to rip up the Ballard Bowl, but instead they were just making their mom worry. They should've just dropped in, they're young, they can handle the slam.I had to wait about an hour to get inside. I can't believe that in these modern times, you have to wait in line to give someone money. The people ahead of me were picking up six of seven pairs of shoes each, so by the time I got in, it was raided.Here's a view of the front of the line. It was a small little garage space, but there was product stacked really high. Lots of stuff from Adidas,Nike,Lakai and more.More of the interior, not exactly the best...
