Wiskate was kind enough to post some Top 3s with TV skate pundit, Mag staff writer, pro skateboarder, and all around proper guy Paul Zitzer. Check it out, and ponder the finer points about popping out of noseslides on vert, among other things.
A bit of the awful truth, read the whole story here. The guy had been regarded as rather suspect and as a creep for years around the Twincities, it's rather nice that he's finally out of the game.
Mr. Randy Ploesser has been getting so much love for his Mag Minute, that I figured I'd put a little bit more Randy out there. Click on the post name or the "more" link to read the Randy Ploesser Product of the Environment I wrote a year or so back.
My friend Juri is involved with Simpel Session, a skate contest straight out of Tallinn, Estonia. Juri says it's one hell of a time, check it out right here.

We're half way through the weekend, and for some, time is running out for outdoor skating, and for others...either way, seize the day. Here's two sparks from the Middle West to get hyped on for Sunday, CJ Tambornino's part from Boondoggle, and a new mini-vid from Wiskate. There should be something there for everyone, get buck!
Peep out the footage from Back Yard Ramp Jam 2008 right here, and then start making plans to be in Minneapolis next time around so you don't miss out.
Get your life right; if you live within five hours driving distance of Minneapolis, get here by tomorrow morning and partake in the ritual of ride, skate, drink, repeat, that is the Back Yard Ramp Jam. There'll be hella free beer and hella free stuff, but admit it, you're showing up for the beer. See you there!
It's Friday, in some areas the weather has gotten brisk, and it's time to shred the weekend away, so you'd better watch this new Wiskate mini vid to get psyched on getting awesome with your homies. There's even a Zitzer cameo in there.
Mike writes about skateboarding and lives in Minnesota. He's short and listens to NPR all day.
