“TMZ has learned “Jackass” star Bam Margera has been hospitalized after being attacked by a bat-wielding woman.
Cops tell us … it happened at 2 AM this morning, outside Bam’s bar in West Chester, PA. There was some sort of fight, that ended when the woman allegedly hit Bam in the back of the head with a baseball bat.
The woman was arrested and charged with assault. Bam was taken to the Chester County Hospital. His condition is unknown.”
The NYC posts continue even though we’re all back in Cali. Venture into the Sunday night Smiths night at Sway and a Supra autograph signing at Dave’s Quality Meat after the Maloof circus left town. Part 1 here. Part 2 here. Part 3.

Muska and JZ talk turkey while Thiessen updates his facebook status.
Here we go again. Another overzealous (not to mention overweight) security guard got a little too frisky with some pesky skateboarders in Pittsburgh. View the evidence below and sound off in the comments.

“Since arriving in Boston, this has been my understanding of the trip. One, Nesser is my favorite dad (sans my own, of course) and skates with some serious power. Two, Jaws handles several double-digit rails in Western Mass. for his phantom crush, Sandy. Three, ‘Sabbackin’ him or not’ is a first-rate way to pass the time on the drives to VT and NH; Jack’s got the skate intellect of a modern day Bobby Fischer. And finally, in certain reference to the drive after Albany pool, Taco Bell’s are never quite as quality when attached to a KFC.”—Ryan Lay

Agency Thursdays: Lafayette Quarterpipe Sesh/Bust
Thursday, June 10th 2010
The old legendary wave quarterpipes at the LA Superior Court have been a known quick bust since Lance Mountain and company hit them up in Future Primitive. With the recent addition of the Lafayette Skate Plaza (Can we stop calling it Carl’s Jr park yet?) just down the block, most of LA’s self respecting skaters have now learned as much on their own. In that vein, Clint, Pastras, T Karr, and Gareth Stehr can be caught here doing exactly what anybody that has ever been there has probably done—get a quick one or two hits in before the inevitable toss by the man. In this instance however, the man turned out to be rather clip worthy himself. See you next week.

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for. Check out all the action from Flushing, Queens today. Paul Rodriguez nabbed the top spot. Shane O’Neill murdered the big stuff but didn’t make the cut. See everything else below. Photos and results here. Filmed and edited by Chris Thiessen
He might be more concerned with a wooden bike, a light-up toy that looks like an atomic Gobstopper or his dog, but at two, Busenitz’s son, Rune, has more access to the professional skateboard community than most of us, riding around with one of the fastest skaters in the world and going on tour with pros from a myriad of companies. So, I thought I’d ask him a few questions about S&C and the insider perspective.
KIDS’ WISHES WERE GRANTED AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE RAISED FOR MAKE-A-WISH AT FIRST-EVER SKATE FOR A CAUSE
Best Trick Winners Malto, Sheckler and Lutzka Donated Prize Money to the Cause
Some of the best skateboarders in the world joined Ryan Sheckler at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest for the Sheckler Foundation’s first Skate for a Cause event that raised thousands of dollars for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. It was one of those days when the skate community rallied to help others and had a lot of fun granting wishes, with three best trick contests, a demo and a skateboard carnival village with games and activities.
Two lucky kids’ wishes were granted this morning at etnies private skateboard training facility too – Jonathon’s wish was to skateboard with Ryan Sheckler, and Marissa wished to skate with Rob Dyrdek.
The total prize purse for the best trick contests was $10,000, and all the winners donated their prize money to Make-A-Wish! Sean Malto won $4,000 for the best trick on the 11-stair, Greg Lutzka got a $3,000 check for best trick on the center pieces and Ryan Sheckler earned $3,000 for the best trick on tranny.
