Mike Vallely's last year as a professional Skateboarder? (www.mikevallely.com / www.skatepunk.com) That was about time, another Mike V.-Video would have been a reason to consider leaving the planet.
ASD gives me the shivers... Rumsfeld too, but his version is not as positive as Afrob and Sam Deluxe. We're like Cuba? Where's the friggin' sun then? And Fidel Schroeders (dyed) beard? Can someone please overthrow those oil-nazis sitting in the White House? Those guys are a serious threat to everyone's safety. Read Michael Moore! I'll call the UN now and back Moore's plan on having the US de-armed and punished. F*** those lunatics...

Tja nanu? Bis ich vom Titus Mailorder Service eine Ansage bekomme, wie das denn zukünftig mit "Tage eines Redakteurs" und der dazu gehörigen Bezahlung aussieht, findet ihr meine Erlebnisse und Gedanken hier bei Blogger... Hauptsächlich auf Englisch, denn da habbich boggauf.
ISPO last weekend... International Sports Goods Fair or Stickerwars? You never know. "Don't believe the Magalog" (a public service announcement brought to you by the skateboarding liberation army) - who did that? We'll never quite know either. Some think the fellas over at Boardstein, but during those three last days every other independent german label was supected as well. Either way, it was a good laugh for most of the visitors, only the staff at the Magalog wasn't too amused.
The Miniramp-Bowl was a joke. About twice as high as the curb outside your door, but that made for some really impressive skateboarding. Harri Puupponen killed it with lines that lasted up to three minutes and contained not one axle stall or similar basic tricks - hammers only, mostly back to back.
Munich sucks. Well, certainly not everything about munich, but a lot. The price for a Cuba Libre for example - between 7,50 and 10 Euros? If you want to charge that much, your barkeepers should be world champions, which is, of course, not the case... With one exception: the Atomic Café. That guy was completely in control of a huge, humming bar. He remembered the faces of his customers and what they ordered, and he was capable of mixing good drinks and taking the next orders at the same time. A real professional. The only one I saw during my visit.
The german railway sucks too, but I do not want to relive my way back to Muenster right now. Let's just leave it at that.
Later...
