The Pittsburgh Skate Page

There are tons of pics up on the photo page.

There is a new clothing company in town………. beware, or the bird is gonna shit ya!!!

Wanna see the true definition of “abusing your authority”. This guy takes his frustrations out on a fourteen year old. This is a perfect example of what happens when they give a badge to a big, complete douchebag and turn him loose on the streets. A police officer’s job does not entail teaching life lessons about manners and proper english, and it definitely is not part of his job to throw 14 year olds on the ground, take their property, and shove them back down when they attempt to sit back up. Perhaps if this kid was older and a little bigger this guy would have gotten his clock cleaned, but then again he probably would’nt have been such a bully either. I’m pretty sure this went to court and this guy either lost his job or was suspended for 17 days with pay.

Someone made him a myspace page.

Jurgen just sent over a link to a video short from a recent trip to Austin.

Click Here to watch it.

The Jackalope premeire was completely out of control, loads of craziness went down. Dudes in Ohio are totally down for skating. Click here to see some pics.

Just got a message by carrier pigeon that Jeff the Gorilla Revilla has just launched the Blank Skate Mag. This is an online Pittsburgh mag featuring Pittsburgh skateboarders. Click the link above, read what it says, then click on the picture on the right to get to the mag. Everyone has a chance to contribute to the mag, all you have to do is get in touch with Jeff by calling the shop or emailing him and he will let you know how to contribute, this is a good thing for the skate scene so everyone should get involved………..contribute!!!!!

Just finished this little edit from various parks from around the burgh. Features the skating of Craig(the robo)Repine, Tim Beal, Steve Dimbokowitz, Jae Ruberto, Josh Bonnet, and Dave Kaule……….enjoy!!!

I was going through some files today and I found a full back-up of an old ShadySkates site circa 99. The site includes the infamous Rob vs. Tony and Pat Hawk email battle, a few quicktimes and some pics. Click Here to check it out.

Plus, I found one of the original Pittskate sites from back in the day. Click Here to peep it.

I was looking through old footage today, when i came across this edit that i made about 200 years ago, i thought it was funny, Craig(the robo) Repine suggested that i put it on the site.

Here is a little edit i threw together of Dave Kaule and Steve Dimbokowitz on a couple of trips to Evolutions skatepark in ohio.

Blankskates team rider Chris Morgan spent his 19th b-day fartin around on his skateboard, here is the footage from that day, also, here is another Chris Morgan montage, (great song).

Word is that the Funks and the hccrew are making another video due out 1 year from now, can’t wait. Here is a little diddy on myspace of them burning up the streets. And here is a link to another Pittsburgh site, i think Christian Senrud is doing, there is an austin kamfoooooosh interview on there, here is the only link i have, its not the homepage but you can get to everything from here.

I have to change this post because i upset a couple of people with my mean words. So here it is: Everyone knows the 885 skatepark was a pile of poop with bad lines, opposing euro gaps (duh), and giant worthless vert walls. what could have been a park as good as the skatepark of tampa ended up sucking ass but it was somewhere to go, heres a little edit of some footy we compiled there.

Here is a few videos that got lost on the old pittskate site because they never got onto the video page. At the bottom right are the links to all the Pittskate videos, I will be adding new ones as often as I can. As for these, one is from chenga world and one is from the old pancakes park in washington pa. later

We are in the process of uploading tons of videos, old and new to the site for a separate video page so bear with us. In the meantime here is the pittskate promo and for a of steve d’s video, “park footage don’t count”.

The HC Crew has a video droppin’ on December 16th @ the Shadow Lounge. Check out the flyer below for full details.

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who came out to the
premiere Saturday night. People had fun, Chris got drunk, and nobody died
so I think that means it went well. I really appreciate all the support
and hopefully we’ll be seeing more events that bring the scene together
more often. Special thanks to Blackholeboards.com and Head Board Shop
for making it possible, Squadron Clothing and Pittskate.com for all the
support, and everyone from Blank, One Up, Bloomfield Shop, and
Cheapskates for coming out. DVD’s will be in these local shops by next
week and also shops out in Ohio so go pick one up. I guess that’s it.

Thanks again.

So you are sitting thinking, "why should i go to the video premeire
tonight?" For starters, skateboarding rules. Second of all,  local
skateboarding rules even more.  Third, even if you hate everyone
in the video and you think you are too cool to go or are too gangsta to
be seen there, you should kill that noise gee money dawggy doo doo.
Always support your local scene as much as you can  because that
is what makes it better. That is all.
