Punk Goes Pop Vol. 5

If you have never heard of the Punk Goes Pop series, then you should seriously check it out now. If you are a fan of pop music, rock music, or all kinds of music, there is at least one song in the series that you will find cool to listen to.

                                        For Today - Fearless

For Today is a band that many people may or may not know about, but for those who do not know about them, listen to this song and I promise that you will be instantly hooked on this song. I personally just started listening to For Today, but because of this song I listen to them every day.

Sweet Child O' Mine Acoustic Version

                                            Sweet Child O' Mine Acoustic

              A funny story about this song is that I personally am a huge Slash fan, and I really enjoy his music, but I never knew that this version of the song existed. Yesterday I was on youtube and I came across this song and I was surely not disappointed.   Slash & Myles Kennedy are awesome in this song.

Zoo York Board Review

Zoo York Skateboard Review

Set-up

Board: Zoo York (size: 7.75)
Trucks: Thunder Sonora 
Wheels: Spitfire
Bearings: Bones Swiss














                      About some time ago I was in need of a skateboard because the one I had previously had broken. So I went to my local Zumiez, and when I walked up to the counter where all the boards were I had a hard tim choosing which one I wanted to buy. The man behind the counter said "try a Zoo York board because they are really good," and thats what I did.

                      Once I got home and set the board up with my trucks and wheels, I took it outside to skate it. The first thing that I noticed from the minute that I stepped on the board was that it had a massive concave, and as you can probably imagine that caused the board to have great pop. Another pro that i've seen with the board is that it has very good durability. The only bad thing that i've noticed while skating it is that it does chip easily (maybe its just me), but after that first chip it hasn't chipped anymore.

                      All in all if I had to rate my personal experience while skating the board I would have to give it a 9 out of 10. I skated a lot of other boards but so far this board is definitely in my top 5 favorites of all time. But Hey, don't take my word for it, go out and buy one and you'll see what i'm talking about.

Skateboarding Fails Compilation

Today I was on youtube looking up funny videos and I came across this video that a youtube user named Yologurt posted. When watching it, I found the fails really funny and I had to share it. Besides #1, the video made me laugh harder than I have in a while.

Top Three Skateboarders

                      Top Three Skateboarders: In My Opinion

 1. Nyjah Huston: It goes without saying that the guy is a total beast, the man kills every contest that he goes to. If you don't know who he is (which would be sad for you) look him up, and also check out his Element: Rise and Shine video part on Itunes, you wont be disappointed.

 2. Chris Cole: Chris Cole is my favorite skateboarder at the moment, and he has been for years. He is actually the reason I started learning tricks. I watched his Ride the Sky part, and his 360 flip down Wallenberg and after i finished i was pumped to go skate. This is dude is one awesome skateboarder.

3. Paul Rodriguez: P-Rod for short if you don't know who he is, STOP!!! and go check out these two videos: Street Dreams (the full movie is on youtube) and X Games 2012... He kills it.
