Rate this on the sob-scale
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Read the letter below and rate it from 1 to 5 on the sob-scale:
1. Anyone who buys a Ripstik doesn’t deserve to live, much less ride a Freebord
2. Boo hoo – would you like some cheese with that whine?
3. Sell your Ripstik on eBay and cut your losses
4. Tough break but I’ve heard way worse
5. Give this guy a Freebord just to shut him up!
Who dat?

Scottsdale and Fountain Hills Represent
Monday, May 26th, 2008John Laudin and Bob Glashan cruised the FB toaster over to Scottsdale with Kevin and met up with Stephen and Nicholas. They showed us sick runs in gated communities we never would have seen! After Scottsdale Kevin took off and the four of us were off to Fountain Hills to meet up with Sam.
