Bo Ikeda RHPS Guest Model
Living in the mountains of the North Shore of Oahu, the master appears once again. Showing up to random sessions here and there Bo is shredding like it was '88 again! Sooth, Effortless and Over It can describe his style...
Former Pro for: Hosoi Skates, Vision Skates & Acme Skates - the Master returns for a limited "Guest Deck" on Royal Hawaiian Pool Service.
Only 50 decks produced for Hawaii. 2 sizes to choose from: 8" and 9". Old Vision graff ripped and redone for today (scanned from the original sticker Moboo gave to me years ago). Available at your Local Hawaii skate shops Now (Blue Hawaii, ABP, Crank & Carve).
Grab one before they DISAPPEAR just like Bo to his retreat in the mountains.

Another new skatepark opened in L.A. this past weekend. This one is in East L.A. and it promises to be challenging and fun. Ben Schroeder had his hands all over this design and it shows. I haven't visited it yet, but preliminary intel tells me that it is free, pad-nannyless, lights until 9pm. More later with links and pictures.

50-50.com Podcast: Best of 2006
Posted: Dec 13, 2006 10:45 pm » by: 50-50 » 1 comments
The Best New Podcasts of 2006: People's Choice
Not quite sure how we accomplished this, but the 50-50.com Skateboarding Podcast has been one of the top 100 most subscribed to podcasts of 2006. Apple's iTunes has recognized our podcast along with 100 others as the "People's Choice". Considering only four skateboarding podcasts even made the top 100 we think that's pretty cool, thank you very much.
 From iTunes:
Podcasting continued its explosive growth in 2006 with compelling new shows coming from all corners of the new media landscape, from major networks and well-known celebrities to creative individuals and offbeat collectives. Of the many new entries submitted to iTunes this year, here are the 100 podcasts that generated the most subscriptions.
If you're like us and still don't know what all the hubbub is over this podcasting stuff, then take a look at our podcast page or check us out on the People's Choice page in iTunes.

Danny Way Jumps over China!
Posted: Jul 09, 2005 08:35 am » by: kevin » 2 comments
Well not really, but Danny Way did clear the Great Wall. It was probably nothing for him once he put his mind to it. It was pretty gnarly considering the roll in is over 120ft tall and at a 60º angle. Read all about it. Or check out a video (1m 14s ~8MB) sent to us from the self-exiled Johnee Kop. Thanks Kop.
