The indoor park has reopened from the Farm Progress closure. The summer hours are now in effect, which are as follows:

3pm – 9pm

Get yer’ riding in while you can…

It’s that time of year again…

The Tiki Room’s seasonal shoe preview is now online. When we get any of these shoes in the shop, we can email you. Just enter your email address, and BOOM! You’re in the loop.

We’ve also added a new rating system. Let us know what shoes you think are sweet, and which ones are weak. Only one vote per shoe per IP address…

You can also enter the Free Shoe Giveaway. June’s winner was one of our Nike loc’s Eli. He walked away with a free pair of Dunk Highs. A free pair of kicks is better than a kick in the teeth. Get entered.

The Tiki Room is hosting the Saskatchewan qualifiers for the DC Nationals. This event will be held at the NEW SKATE PLAZA on July 5th, 2008. This is open to all ages.

All competitors must pre-register, and have waiver forms for the event. This is MANADATORY. We’ll turn you away if you don’t have your shit together, even if you drove all the way from Prince Albert. Don’t get your friend to sign your waiver around the corner either. We’ve been around the block. We know what’s up. /bitter rant

Anyway, you can download the forms here, print ‘em off. Come on down and see us at the shop if you don’t have a printer.

Registration starts at 12:00 noon, and the event starts at 1:00pm. It should be crazy busy, as there were no local events this year- meaning that all of Saskatchewan is coming to this event. Yikes! See you there!

Hope everyone had a good Go Skateboarding day, I’m sure that your all treating everyday like it! See you out and about.

Yes!!!?

There’s a good read over at Boil the Ocean regarding “Go Skateboarding” day.

I’m having chest pains (from skating) ouch! and I think I’m going deaf (from music)…  what!

I need a good sign for the east end bank ledge and I gotta remember to bring ear plugs to shows.

Later. 

Actually, I had a dream.

My great Grandmother (RIP) was security at the new skatepark. She was claiming that there wouldn’t be security at the park the night after we spoke with her, and that the construction guys were leaving the site to go and work on the other new park.

I wish that was a real life scenario…

While everyday is normally considered “Go Skateboarding Day” in our eyes, today is the official day, so have a good one!

The Matix “Lord of the Lines” contest is going down in Saskatoon next Saturday. For more info you can check the Ninetimes website.

Looks like the indoor park’s days may be numbered. The funding for the Ipsco Place expansion has come through, meaning the future of an indoor facility in Regina is in limbo.

If anyone knows of a building suitable for a shit load of sweaty kids for the winter, please let us know.

So today was my court date for skateboarding what a waste of time. The reason I had to be there was just to enter my plea,obviously I would plea not guilty if I was taking my ticket to court. It’s such a waste of money to have court dates just to set up another court date. This could be dealt with already but instead I have to wait two more weeks.

The Plan B demo was at Tswassen. Looks like a fun little park. The whole team minus Duffy and Danny Way were there. The demo was kind of crazy, but not like the intro of Virtual Reality crazy. More like “What the fuck is going on here” type of crazy. The guy to girl ratio was about even. If you’ve been to a demo, you know that’s bizarre. The ladies (average age : 13 – much to the delight of McCoubrey) were there to see non other than Mr. Hollywood himself, Sheckybunny. It sounded like a fucking New Kids on the Block concert (this is an assumption- I’m not a NKOTB fan). Shit was weird.

Kev was loving this shit. The only guy in sight.

There were about 20 t-shirts like this, and an equal number of signs. Craze.

If you went to the Saskatoon Plan B demo, you know how fucking good and consistent P-Rod is. Switch varial heel.

Considering there was a twelve year old hanging off his dick every time he wasn’t rolling, Sheckler did some tricks. Fakie flip.

More P-Rod destruction. Switch tre.

I had some pics of J-Rog and Sacha Daley, but they sucked, so I didn’t bother posting them. Wenning did some shit but isn’t a demo star. Dude keeps it real. PJ was actually there, but posted up in the Van after trying ten tricks or so. Oh- also Gallant was ripping, and wearing DC’s. For me to say Gallant was ripping is hard, as I’m not the biggest fan… Descenzo was there too. Kids pretty good.

I was going to post a pic of myself and someone from Regina on here, but I’m pretty sure his parole officer wouldn’t be stoked on that too much, so you’ll have to use your imagination. Thanks to Rory and Moses for flying me out there. Much appreciated. Word to Kev for hooking me up with a couch.

This one’s for you C-Mac:

3 words :  Iron Fucking Maiden.   thats all (I’m on vacation).
