I originally thought these guys were clowns, but they are actually pawns being played by the mainstream skateboard market. Me thinks they need to quit reading the mainstream mags and vids and pick up more CW's.

Rawls, maybe you are reading a bit too much into it.
it's just a matter of terminology, for many kids these days skateboarding is synonymous with street skating.
They are just doing the usual street vs longboard argument.
It's the same street skating vs longboard argument that goes on silverfish everyday.
If you check out their site, its actually pretty well done.
