Sidelined

It's raining in Connecticut, and according to the gurus at weather.com, the rain is going to continue for the next five or six days.  Add to that the nasty cold/cough/fever that Sk8terdude is suddenly sporting, and it looks like he is sidelined this week.  Maybe this is a sign that he shouldn't have been skating with the broken finger?

Fortunately, we have plenty of skateboard-related activities to keep us busy:

• Streetleague Seattle is still on the TiVo so we can watch it over and over and over and...but for those of you who didn't see it/tape it/save it, it's also available online
• Tony Hawk Ride (the one with the "skateboard") for the Wii
• Tony Hawk's Underground 1 and 2 (the ones without the "skateboard")
• Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for the XBox
• Picture F**ing Perfect - a DVD featuring local skateboarders, including Sk8terdude's current teacher, Paul Hintz (Sorry, guys, I can't link to your info because this blog is coded for G-rated content only.  If you had named your video something else it would have been okay, but...)

But mostly Sk8terdude is spending time thinking about an upcoming skate competition that has just been announced at S.P.I.R.I.T. in Ridgefield, Connecticut.  I'll be posting complete information as soon as it is available.  In the meantime, save the date - Saturday, June 25th - and plan on joining us for a terrific afternoon!
