This site was created by a skateboarder in response to some corny corporate marketing. Skateboarding is great, spending a day skating is sick, and taking the day off to skate is something I can plead guilty to. However, skateboarding is also largely illegal, it’s loud, and it’s dirty. I like it like that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about skateparks and skater’s rights (I work locally to push both), but celebrating a collective corporate marketing holiday is a bit too much. Any excuse is a good excuse to skate, but this holiday shit has more corporate sponsors than a Nascar driver.

Anyway, go skate and celebrate every moment that you get to ride… but don’t buy into any bullshit about what this contrived holiday really is… a big fucking commercial.

On an unrelated note, I want to give a shout to my friend Clarkie at Real Skate. Give her a hand and help keep skateboarding out of the Olympics.
