Great Wheel, Great Cause

2008-07-14T19:30:00.004+02:00

If you’re shopping for some new urethane, consider buying a set of the new Grind for Life benefit wheels. Built by Bones, these 52mm and 60 mm gems will hold your momentum on all kinds of roundwall, and because they’re made of Powell's coveted Skate Park Formula, you’re gonna go fast without fear of washouts or flatspots.

But the real good news here is that for every set sold, Bones Wheels will make a donation to Grind for Life, a non-profit group that helps people with cancer by chipping in on travel and hotel expenses for patients and their families as they check into treatment centers far away from home. Grind for Life was founded by cancer-survivor and skateboarder Mike Rogers.

Skateboarding in Iraq

2008-07-11T16:26:00.009+02:00

KEITH BUTTERFIELD, 1st Sargent Butterfield

Do you skate freestyle? Sir, Yes Sir!!!

-Skateboarding in Iraq must be hard with the heat and sand?

"-Skating in the cradle of civilization does take a certain amount of commitment for sure, it's very windy and sandy at times, very warm and no one understands why the hell I skate at all? I have a little private place I set up on these metal pads that don’t even wear my board out? I enjoy time to myself and practice skating and just have some fun. No one bugs me and it's really great, I will remember these skate sessions for the rest of my life. I am the only person for thousands of miles with a skateboard, it’s very strange to think about that However, If I didn't have my deck with me, I'd be going crazy! I would most likely spend my free time in the gym getting pumped up for no good reason.. The “skateboard” once again comes to my rescue.. The “skateboard” has always been there for me no matter what, it’s all pretty amazing actually.. I’m so happy when I skate, only another skater understands.. God has blessed me with time, energy, health, a small amount of talent and a ton of determination. Only this time around part of my responsibility as a skateboarder is to provide a positive example to teens, kids and parents."
