Shot of the Week 6-12-6

Tony Alva

Steve Grover of Cold War Skateboards pulls in a fat Madonna at West Linn Skatepark. Steve is renowned for big'ol Madonna's and it's killer to watch a 6 foot plus size bro go big in the deep end. Check out Cold War skateboards for some cool shapes and models, local all the way.

National Go Skateboarding Day

This is a national event put on by IASC, check around and see what you can find out that's happening locally or go here for more info: http://www.skateboardiasc.org/

This flyer sent in by Colorado Skate University

Most of you have heard about Denver's event we're putting on, if not there's the flyer! We're still hunting around for more companies to help sponsor this event, by donating just a few products and stickers for our contest winners, and also looking for more vendors and volunteers( there are some paying jobs as well) . This is a contest for males and females by the way. We're expecting over 500 people at this event, hopefully lots and lots more! So spread the word! Before the event "someone" has told skaters in Colorado to all meet up at the capitol building at 12:00 and go skate down 16th st. to our event. Its going to rock!

So I'm attaching the vendor/sponsor letter for those of you that havn't gotten it, and also a reminder to those of you that have. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!
