This weeks wisdom happens to do with skateboarding this week. I see allot of people getting very confused when it comes to nollie 180s. I’m going to try to clear things up for you. And don’t worry, many people have a hard time with this concept. Ok, so if you are regular footed, or left foot forward, and you want to do a nollie backside 180 then you are going to turn the same way you would as if you were doing a regular backside 180. Nothing changes. Same with frontside, you go the same way you would normally turn. I don’t know where the whole myth of things changing around when you go nollie but it is just not true. I hope this helped. No go forth and enjoy this beautiful weather.
P.S. I included a very detailed drawing to help with this explanation in case you still dont get it. It is very clear and should help out.
Just got in some new shirts from Dato clothing. We even got in some shirts for all you rad skater chicks out there (Margret) so stop by and check them out. Dato also has some great boards which we now have in the shop. We also got in a restock of S-One helmets and wheels from Bones, Spitfire, and Brick. It is going to be a beautiful weekend so be sure to get outside and skate. Enjoy!
Here’s this weeks Wisdom, get smarter. You don’t want to look like an idiot. The best way to avoid looking like an idiot is to find out if you are in fact…. an idiot. Here is a test you can take. Solve it and you should be ok. Fail it and……well lets just say you might be an idiot.
March is a great month! Its right at the end of winter, good weather is in sight. The word “March” come from the Roman ” Martius”. March was the 1st month of the Roman calendar and was named after Mars, the god of war! Another great fact about March is that the flower narcissus, or wild daffodil, is associated with it because it blooms in early spring and stops before Easter. Also in 44 BC a bloody event known as the Ides of March, forever linked March 15 with prophecies of doom! What happened on this day you ask? Well March 15th is the day that Julius Caesar was killed by a group of prominent Romans in the Senate House.
March is also the month my dad was born, Happy B-Day old man!
Well enjoy March and everything its associated with.
Well mother nature messed everything up again. Due to the weather the KeyStone demo will be canceled. We are going to get those guys back up here in April so keep an eye out for the new date.
Last night we went to JRoos for Artifacts birth day. There was Beauty and the Beast cupcakes, singing, dancing, spitballs, naked robots, all the highly intoxicated older women you could ever want to see molesting a phallic statue, a cute waitress, and buffalo chicken pizza. Thanks to all the friends that came out. Without your help and support Artifact wouldn’t be around. We would also like to thank you, the customers, for if it wasn’t for your insatiable addiction to skateboarding and breaking your boards we would be selling rollerblades instead. So thank you!
This weeks wisdom is really going to be helpful. I am going to teach you how to ask the most important question ever when traveling in different countries, ” Where is the bathroom?”.
Arabic (Egypt) = Men Fadlak, Fen El Hammam
Bulgarian -Kade e banyata?”
Cantonese Chinese = Mm-goy, chee-soh hai been-doh-ah?
Check out this link I got sent to me by my mommy, It features the graffiti artist Banksy. If you haven’t seen his work you’re in for a treat. Thanks mom! I really don’t like graffiti but this guys uses stencils and pokes fun at society with his work so its good. Plus, you can actually read what he’s writing.
