American Legend Evel Knievel Dies at 69

Evel Knievel was my hero when I was a kid. In the 1970's Evel Knievel jumped his Harley Davidson XR-750 motorcycle in front of huge crowds all over the world. Evel always wore red , white, and blue leathers and helmet. Evel's most famous jump was in 1968 when he attempted to leap over Ceasers Palace water fountain and ended in a crash that broke almost every bone in his body. Evel was a legend and the greatest daredevil of all time. This is a film of his famous Ceasers Palace jump I found on you tube. Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYGGCVE2lKY

Thinking about a longboard?

Longboards are really getting popular and there are many boards out there to choose from. Longboards are great for cruising around your neighborhood and for street skating. I recommend soft wheel and loose trucks. This is my longboard of choice and you can buy it at http://www.gravityboard.com/. Gravity is a great skateboard company and has great customer service. Check out all the boards at Gravity Skateboards. Also check out this video with Roger Mihalko on the '39 carve taken from Gravity YouTube videos. Roger really rips and is the best longboard rider I have ever seen so check it out. . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OxrMtmOuD4

Santa Cruz Street Skate re issue sold out at www.marcsboardshop.com

This Santa Cruz Street Skate is too cool. This is a re issue from around 1980. The deck is 9" x 30" and has a 15" wheelbase. The Santa Cruz Street Skate is classic!!!! This deck is sold out and I feel this deck will double in value in the next year.

New OJ Hot Juice wheels at Marc's Board Shop

These new OJ Hot Juice Wheels are too cool. The bright orange color looks great and the hardness of 79a durometer is great for street skating. These wheels remind me of the Vintage OJ wheels that were available in the 1970's

Everyone needs a Board Room. Check out the pics below

This is my new board room in my garage currently under construction. I just started it and all I have got done so far is part of the floor. I'm going to make it into a place to hang out and build boards. One day I hope to get a flat screen for the garage to watch skate videos. I want hang some Old School Decks and framed skateboard posters on the wall, but the floor is my first project. The floor is plastic and snaps together in about an hour. It keep the garage floor warm in the winter and makes the garage look great. The floor is available at http://www.racedeck.com/ and comes in multiple colors. Jeff at http://jeffsskateboardpage.blogspot.com/ mentioned the coolest thing about the floor is it matches my Vans Classic Hi skate shoes. I agree!!
