SKATE NEWS






There's no doubt at all that Paul Rodriguez came up big this summer. He not only snatched first place at the AST Dew Tour, he won 100 G's at the first ever Maloof Money Cup. With more money to spare than Lil' Wayne, P-Rod put the $10,000 bottles of champagne on hold and went the route of the Pro-skater owned skateshop. P-Rod went ahead and opened Primitive, a skateshop/boutique that's in Encino, California. Stop by, pick up some limited edition Nike's and possibly even catch a glimpse of Paul and his sexually attractive girlfriend, Rainbow.

While Paul adds business owner to his pro skater title, his teammate and homeboy, Jereme Rogers, has now added "rapper," to his list of endeavors. It appears as if Jereme, who is going by the rap name, "JR," has already unleashed a bunch of tracks available for listen over at his MySpace page. Jeez...things are getting weird. Don't you think? Jereme, for the love of all things holy, let's put that shotgun on safety, shall we?

While "the collaboration" or "collabo," has been an ongoing instrument of sales, as well as original designs for a long-ass time now, to my knowledge there has yet to be such a thing such as, "the triple collabo." That is, until now. The Hawaiian skate, apparrel and retail name, In4mation has teamed up with both Diamond Supply and Gravis to create this buttery as f*&K travel bag. Big enough for three brands logos, and big enough for extended visits. Get one before they're all out.

2008 Goofy Vs. Regular







The skating at this year’s Goofy Vs. Regular was so good, nobody won. Sound weird? Well, at the end of the finals, the judge’s scores for both teams were so close they couldn’t pick an official winner. And just any other predicament in life, there’s only one way to settle such a difference: with a game of SKATE.

The Goofies, with Justin Figueroa and Tyler Hendley representing the two-man team in the final game, picked the double set for the battle ground of choice, but ended up losing to the inhumanly talented Andrew Langi and Chris Cole putting the Regulars on top once again. Photos and videos are coming soon… in fact they’re probably up as we speak…
