the general

last week the general had a bad accident at the north shore banzai skate park. he was doing a backside roll in and spun out and cracked his head. he received a bad skull fracture - luckily he is doing better and out of his few day stay at the hospital. he says thanks for sending him positive vibes and well wishes.

on that note as we get radical on our decks the last thing we think about is an accident like gary's. so why not wear a helmet for protection? for decades we were too cool to wear helmets, avoided the park police when it was mandatory to wear helmets and thought we were in-destructable. until now, it's time to play it safer. we are not preaching - "to each his own" - but a topic to think about.

we already have enough brain damage so why get more - keep your dome safe.

ps - anyone wanna sponsor us a few helmets? .............
