LARRY STEVENSON: R.I.P




On March 25th, 2012, Larry Stevenson, Skateboard Hall of Famer and founder of Makaha Skateboards, passed away passed at the age of 81. In the late 1950s Larry Stevenson was a lifeguard at Venice Beach and saw a the potential in skateboarding. At the time a skateboard was nothing more then a roller skate nailed to 2×4. He took the basic concept behind the skateboard and took it to the next level with the addition of clay wheels and a surfboard inspired design.

He used the popularity of surfing to bring skateboarding to new heights. In 1965 Larry was producing over 2,000 skate boards a day and almost every kid who surfed or wanted to surfed owned one. In 1969 he patented the kick tail design, which would forever chance the sport as we know it. Like many innovators he was way ahead of the times. It took nearly 20 years for his twin kick tail design to catch on.

For those new to skateboarding or don’t know who Larry Stevenson is, he is the creator of “kicktails” or what today’s skaters call the “nose” and “tail” of a skateboard. His ingenious invention paved the way for tricks like the “ollie” and revolutionized skateboarding. Larry also organised the world’s first skateboarding contest, set up the first skateboarding exhibition team, created the first longboard and publisher of Surf Guide and Poweredge Magazines

Skateboarding is more than just a sport. There's a whole culture based around it with companies dedicated to producing shoes,clothes and videos for skateboarders. Skateboarding can give you an enormous sense of satisfication and it's also a great way to meet new people. Skateboarding is a very technical and skillful sport and there are hundreds of tricks to learn. To be a good skateboarder, you need to be athletic and creative. The best skateboarders also have plenty of nerve and lots of dedication because many top tricks can take years of practise to get right.

BEAUFORT SKATE JAM RECAP


Well here's a quick recap or more of like what happened during the Beaufort Skate Trip on the 17th March, 2012. Mark Ak and friends pretty much showed up there after almost 2 hours drive in the bus, and the event there started out with the combo trick contest then after a while there's this game of skate contest. They didn't really shoot much when they've got there, cause it was super hot at that time. But like even though most of them got like crazy sunburn, they said it was a hell of great time! So they really looking forward for the next skate trip coming in the near future!

TONY HAWK'S 900 REVOLUTION

There’s a Tony Hawk-branded series of books for young teens called Tony Hawk’s 900 Revolution. There’s no mission statement about the series being designed to engage kids in reading other than a tagline on the front page that says “Join the reading revolution.” You can read sample chapters and find out about characters like Omar, who is “aggressive and inventive, and often likened to Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” The premise of the series:

Your kid (or you with a cleverly disguised entry) can win a chance to appear as a character in a future book. They look a little bit like comic books don’t they? They aren’t but they do have a 16 page graphic novel insert. Extreme!™
