RIP Larry Stevenson
On March 25th, 2012, Larry Stevenson, Skateboard Hall of Famer and founder of Makaha Skateboards, passed away passed at the age of 81. In the late 1950s Larry Stevenson was a lifeguard at Venice Beach and saw a the potential in skateboarding. At the time a skateboard was nothing more then a roller skate nailed to 2×4. He took the basic concept behind the skateboard and took it to the next level with the addition of clay wheels and a surfboard inspired design.
He used the popularity of surfing to bring skateboarding to new heights. In 1965 Larry was producing over 2,000 skate boards a day and almost every kid who surfed or wanted to surfed owned one. In 1969 he patented the kick tail design, which would forever chance the sport as we know it. Like many innovators he was way ahead of the times. It took nearly 20 years for his twin kick tail design to catch on.
Larry also put together the first skateboard team in 1963 with …Bruce Logan, Woody Woodward, Danny Bearer, Scott Archer, Gregg Carroll, John Fries, Joey Saenz, George Trafton jr, and Squeek Blank. – From makahaskateboards.com

Arielle Gold Wins Jr. World Snowboard Championships
Here’s a news flash for you…Arielle Gold of Steamboat Spring, CO just won the Women’s Jr. World Snowboard Halfpipe Championship Title at Sierra Nevada, Spain. Following close behind was none other than Algonquin, IL’s own Kirby Kelly in 6th place. Overall something tells me the whole 2012 USSA Junior Worlds Snowboard Team did great!
Those silly Spaniards can’t figure out how to update results on their website so we’re stuck only knowing 1st and 6th place. Awesome job girls, way to kill it! USA! USA! USA!
Shit Skateboard Photographers Say
I concur.
Hunger Games Shirts
Don’t lie, you read the Hunger Games trilogy. You also dresses up and camped out 3 days in advance for the Hunger Games movie premier. As a snowboarder you feel the need to stay “core” all while showing support for your Hunger Games crushes; Peeta and Gale.
Snowboarding heartthrob Peter Line fits the profile of Peeta Mellark perfectly for Team Peeta and steals the hearts of young girls all over the world. There are no pro snowboarders with the name of Gale, but after a quick search we found Pro Bowler from the Green Bay Packers, Gale Gillingham, to be our man Gale Hawthorne for Team Gale.
Peter Line hits huge hips and Gale Gillingham hits people, hard. How will you pick your team? Team Peeta or Team Gale?
Team Gale Shirts
How do you show support for your favorite movie the Hunger Games? By wearing Hunger Games shirts.
There is nobody in the action sports industry by the first name of Gale. However, there is a Pro Bowler from the Green Bay Packers named Gale Gillingham. I bet if the late Gale Gillingham were still with us he’d hit hips just as hard as he hit Quarterbacks.
Team Gale or Team Peeta?
Team Peeta Shirts
Hunger Games shirts are going to be THEE fashion piece this spring, especially the Team Peeta (Peter Line) shirts.
Although Peter Line has nothing in common with Hunger Games character Peter Mellark, we decided he needed a shirt. Show support for your favorite pro rider and your favorite movie without looking like a complete sally.
Team Peeta or Team Gale?
