TREASURY SECRETARY TIM GEITHNER NOT A SKATER

The Wall Street Journal has set the record straight, incoming Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is NOT a skateboarder. Yesterday a Fed spokesman said that Mr. Geithner doesn’t actively participate in skateboarding. Still the article mentioned the active skaters in public office in park heavy Portland, Oregon namely Tom Miller and Mayor-elect Sam Adams.

Still, it’s amazing that so many blogs and news agencies were interested in just the RUMOR that Geithner might have skated.

Speaking of Skateboard wraps the other day, here's something cool too. Sk8ology its new line of patent protected display products for the Skateboard industry. A display system that allows skateboard decks to be displayed on any vertical surface, allows skateboard decks to appear to be floating off the wall with no apparent hardware attached. This is the first time the action sports industry has a product that allows consumers to display their collectable decks in a museum quality manner.
