DECENT HARDWARE IN MALAYSIA

Jonno, arrived in KL last Friday (2nd time, he visited here last year). We had a bowl session at S13 & PCP during the weekends recently. He's originally from Norwich, UK and now live in S.E Asia (mainly Thai & Indonesia). He owns a business designing specialist skateboard travel bag and shorts started in 2006 in Bali known as Decent Hardware. All are hand made in a family firm and exported around the world. Many skateboarders from around the world have been using it (damn i need to get one of that park bag). Jonno might be attending the Shifty Mag party on Wednesday and he will be leaving to Bali on the next day. We hope that all local skate friends and skate media can meet him for a chat and something useful for their magazine or business proposes, etc.

RICKY GOT HEAD INJURY

It was Ricky's (CE owner) first time to visit Putrajaya Skatepark this morning with A Thong. When i arrived the park this morning, a longboarder friend rushed to the nearest hospital with Ricky. No one really knew how he felt but there's many blood on the concrete flatground. Luckily there's people around like 6 of them and some construction workers. I do not know how many stiches he had on his head but it seems like 3 inches long when i meet him (around 2pm). Ricky were hold for observation for 6 hours. Luckily X-ray shows no sign of concussion or head trauma. Not sure bout Bloodclot but i think he's gonna be ok. He was release at 4pm. Thanks to all skateboarder who's been waiting for him (A Thong, Brenda, Brian & wife, Joel, Juno, Yeop, Leh). Advised to all skateboaders who wanted to skate in any skatepark. Don't go alone especially during morning, go when there's people around, wear a protective gear (ie: helmet, knee pads, etc), bring your friend's along, informed your parents and make sure somebody have a mobile phone (with credits). When we left the park, there's only 2 village boys skated there without any adults or their parents care (both got no mobile phone). Imagine if they get injured like Ricky and no one is around. Anyway, already spoke and advised them to get helmet, pads and don't attempt anything which is far beyond them skills. Don't bother about not being cool for wearing pads. I think it's not cool if you can't skate anymore. Helmet and pads cost is cheaper than medical bills. Think about it. Skate Smart!!!

SUPPORT EARTH HOUR!!!

You've seen it everywhere now be it on TV or newspaper. If you still wondering what is it about. Then you must know what is Global Warming then. The heat is killing the earth!!! Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005. It will cause Climate change which might harm to human welfare. Do it now before it's too late. So we hope all skateboarders plus your families, relatives and friends support it by joining Earth Hour by switching off your lights for 1 hour (more than 1 hour also can if you like to) starting at 8.30pm, Saturday 28th March 2009. Click here for more info at www.EarthHour.org.my

Also please go to the forums HERE to share your thougts and opinion on Global Warming!!!

MSIA'S SKATEBOARD TOUR

This is not something new and maybe you don't even know about it. An account student from UiTM approached Joe Ipoh and me on this project somewhere March last year (2008) to have a skate marathon tour. The first plan supposed to be Joe as the rider and skate on the highway from North to South of Malaysia (Perlis till Johor) in order to be in the Malaysian Guiness Book of Record. But they changed the plans due to some reason (pls read at his blog) and having Mohd Suraidi (the skater kid who planned it all) to be part of it and Joe Ipoh as his coach. He started to skate from a capital town of each States and ended in every UiTM campus in the states such as UiTM Pilah, UiTM Alor Gajah, UiTM Dungun, UiTM Sri Iskandar Perak, UiTM Arau Perlis, and more to mentioned (except Sabah and Sarawak). All in about 3 to 7 KM of skating in each cities in 5 days. The event was held last year from 29th June to 3rd July 2008. Congratulations and a big shout to Rudi from us @ Skatemalaysia!!! Malaysia BOLEH!!!
