Something Old Something New

There are many reasons why you should not throw away your old deck


1. You can sand the bottom to make it smooth like butter
2. Then personalize it with pen, paint, and make it luster
3. For it to be hung as wall decoration
4. Or given as a present, personalized creation
5. Maybe even sell it for prime dollar
5. Eventually making you a career, avoiding a white collar

This is a deck done by Ali.... her boyfriend Boogie would sand the bottom of old decks for her to draw on. She got offered $200.00 for her first deck, which she declined for sentimental purposes. If you look close enough you can find Ali's name in the art, as well as Boogie's.

Ode to the Glugger Scene

It is only right that I start out giving some history. Each day I will post a new page of the 1st ever and only pages of the Team Glug Zine. The best way to explain the pulse of the 80s and early 90s skate scene, in Daytona, is for you to see for yourself. There were many little pockets of skaters, but none who can claim Thrasher Magazine's 10th Anniversary Host Award, and having a house codemnned. They are still ripping pools and the concrete scene....that is all I have for today.... MM

Last weekend, Dug and I took a trip to Tampa, and one of the missions was to find the Bro Bowl, which is in danger of being extinct very soon. Despite the fact that neither of us had any sense of how to get around Tampa, with its dead end streets and lanes that leave no option but to turn, we eventually fell upon it.

The Bro Bowl starts at length, at the top of a hill, and then opens its mouth wide, or spits you into its stomach (whichever you choose) at the bottom. It feels so much a part of the natural environment; it awes me to think this bowl is in danger of being removed. This was once somebody’s simple dream, and grew to make positive vibes in a shady part of town, for over 30 years..…check out www.myspace.com/thebrobowl or www.savethebrobowl.com for info.

New Smyrna Beach SKATEPARK

Under the original bidding law, if you submit a design, you can not be involved in the bidding to build. Unfortunately, Team Pain donated the ramp plans for the new NSB Skate Park, so they would have been cut out, which could have potentially left who knows who to demolish a great design.

Luckily, the city engineer and my dad, who is an attorney for NSB, pushed a reenactment for a design and build bidding. So, the City Commission agreed, and Team Pain is still in the running for the bid. The ground breaking should be in no time. The park is expected around Sept. 2008, if not sooner. Make sure you check out NSBSkate.com for the plans and donation info., etc.
