The best weekends are the ones that are overplanned.
“When I grow up, I’m gonna…” rarely ends with “work myself silly trying to find a sponsor that will pay me to compete while wearing their logo” And the few times that it HAS, has given rise to another curious career path: the “Agent”.
Hangin’ at a crawfish boil yesterday (thanks again, Brian and Anne!) and Mark said he’d send me a link to this longboard video.
Looks like Madrid is a fun place to be on a weekend with a longboard.

When you can find something exciting and legal, well, that’s a treasure, isn’t it? …Isn’t it?

Okay, one last picture and I’ll shut up about it for a while. I opened up the Outdoor Galore Store Zazzle site, right? (the button is over there on the left) and I’ve finally put some fun designs in there for shirts and pillows and water bottles and this here skate deck. I had to order one once I got it all set up, and I’m pretty happy with it. The bearings don’t seem to be all that I could want, but as this one is going to be my display model for conventions and stuff, I haven’t tried to break ’em in or anything. It’d make the nice white wheels all dirty.
So- here’s what it looks like- the color’s all done up in classic Sunday Funnies dot patterns. The design is produced in some kind of slick finish that makes the whole thing shine pretty nice. Good grip tape on the important side, too. And it arrived about two weeks faster than I expected it. I can’t say that happens every time, I’ve only ordered this one, but I had Zazzle go ahead an put on the pads, trucks, bearings and wheels too- and it was, like I say, here awfully quickly. Nice.
So, the decks themselves are $64 bucks. The rest costs more than the board, but you can put your own hardware on it to save that money.
And, if anyone is asking- the gobbledygook that Paste is shouting? That’s “Phooey!” and if you were thinking something ELSE, well, that was just YOU, wasn’t it?
If you’re not going to make an appointment, then you have to make an entrance.
You know if I had all the money in the world, I’d have blown it all by now trying to build the outdoor galore store in brick and mortar. And in gunnite, wood, fiberglass, and whatever else it took to make a circulating whitewater course, a tremendous skate/bike park, climbing wall, paintball arena, and anything else that I, in my dripping-wtih-moneyness, thought I would like to sell tickets to and indulge in myself.
Oddly enough, I don’t have all the money in the world. And those that do aren’t interested in building such a money pit and letting me spend my days there. The rich people spend a lot of time working with and worrying over finance… there may be something to that.
Anyhow, this is the digital age… so I can build a virtual store. The easiest way to do it at first is, of course, to ride in on some rich folks’ web-system that allows penniless schlubs like me to put up designs and make the rich folks another paycheck while leaving me still pretty much penniless. Wow. What a grand world we live in! Opportunities abound.
Anyhow, the plan is to eventually do business with you guys more directly, but for right now, there’s a nice skate deck with Paste on it available on Zazzle. If you order it, there’s even a little button you can click to have trucks and wheels put on it before it ships to you. For a less expensive option, you might order the deck, and put your own gear on it. Or buy gear from your local skate shop, thus keeping some kind of trade local, and that’s good.
All that’s a long winded way of saying “Hey, I got a zazzle site for Hubris.”
If you want free stickers instead of buying something, you still have to write me a Sidebar Subject article. Which means they’re not free, they cost you time and effort. Darn this world where things COST!
We gettin’ Hubris all up in this place. Click on some things. ‘Vote Hubris’ comes to mind. Tell a friend. We gotta come up with a party game that involves Hubris somehow.
Dunno ’bout you, but I drew in church as a kid, and I still doodle in the margins of the bulletin if I’m not sitting in the first or second pew. I may be a heathen, but I don’t want to upset the preacher. That kinda thing’ll get you smited.
