Did anyone read the Prairie Dog this week? We’ve been stripped of our best “snowboard store” title! Apparently the best skate/snowboard store for 2005 was Outtabounds! Honorable mention went to Off Axis! Was it the readers choice? Maybe we’ll win for best “knitting class/welding shop” next year! Ooooooooooh! The anticipation!

A true honorable mention goes out to Johnnie Cochrane. Rest in peace. The guy could get Mario out of the loony bin and into the Premiere’s office.

The “What If?” premiere went off without a hitch. Reverend Owl, in a moment of true fate, snagged the deck autographed by the Blind professional team. Congrats to him.

Wait a minute? March 26? It’s Trent’s birthday! Man, that dude is getting old. If you want to wish him a happy birthday, you could either fly to Vancouver and tell him in person, or you could just email him here. The 29th person to email him gets an elaborate package including a Blockhead Hard Times deck, green griptape for life, a free team Chewbacca membership, Volkswagen repairs for the next 18 years, a Skull Skates longsleeve older than Trent himself, a vintage photo of the WABTY ramp locals, an autographed photo of Robert Smith (nude), and 18 litres of milk with 18 bags of Chips Ahoy. You’ll also receive a one week retreat to the Overbye family’s basement for a Big Gulp intravenous and a 150 hour non-stop MarioKart tournament. We aren’t even kidding.

Happy birthday to Sir Ian McKinnon, all the way on the other side of the planet. We should have announced this yesterday, as he lives in the future, but everything around here is usually late.

Honorable birthday mention: Wyatt. He’s 14. Woah.

If you didn’t notice, we’re having a premiere for the new Blind video “What If?”. Look to your right. It has some damn sick stuff in it, as well as some proper Canadian representation. If you want to try at a chance to get a free copy, check out this link provided by another friend of the throwaway, the original Dr. Z, Zev Klymochko.

There are some rumors about a mini skatepark being built in the north east sometime next year. Interesting, no? I hope this pans out…

Party photos are usually a you-had-to-be-there situation, where it’s funny for the people involved, but everyone else is all, “Uhhhhhh……yeah.” Well here’s a photo that is no exception to that rule…

Memory Lane #10

If you happened to be at Warren’s that fateful night, you were able to witness the wrath of the Boy Genius, who destroyed all in his path. You doubt that I killed shit? The 230lb dude, and all of the others who dared never stood a chance against me. Check the gnar face. You know I meant business. How can you tell this photo is from Saskatchewan? The socks. Afterwards, a certain canned beverage shot from the can, to my stomach, then into warren’s sink in the span of about 20 seconds. Joel was taking photos, then realized there was no film in the camera. Someone picked up the aftermath, though.

What is the skate world coming to? P-Rod leaves girl, Plan B is resurrected, Appleyard leaves Circa for Globe, and rumors of TNT taking Appleyard’s place on Circa are floating about. What’s next? A Nate Sherwood pro model on the resurrected Menace?

Everyone, this is Ryan. Ryan, this is everyone. Ryan was smart enough to enter our FREE Shoe Contest, and got himself into a new pair of DC’s. On the house, just for entering. Have you entered yet?

Speaking of shoes, the Shoe Assessment has been updated with what is in stock, and what has yet to arrive. Feel free to take a look.

Could there be a major video premiere in regina sometime next week? Time will tell.

Could there be a new skatepark in some bad location in Regina sometime soon? Time will tell.

While normally I try to update the site in a somewhat regular manner, my new little friend has been keeping me busy.

But I’m done with him now, so business as usual. I promise.

When I find the dude that invented these, I’m going to get his phone number and bug the shit out of him for skateboards.

Quotes from Yesterday
