Welcome to 2007…it’s gonna be a great year for skateboarders!
The renaissance for skateboards that turn & burn continues on with
a boom in design and materials, not to mention opportunities for
great skating! This winter, if it’s rainy or snowing, hit your local parking
garage for speed, slalom or freestyle. Check out some of what’s
coming this year:

In the mid seventies, I remember reading about Lonnie Toft. One of the first skaters to be seen riding a wider board and also the creator of the 8- wheeler. One of my all-time favorite skate photos was from that same era. The one of Lonnie cruising outside City Hall in Toronto, Ontario on his 8-wheeler, wearing a tuxedo, top-hat, and red Vans deck shoes while holding a cane on the deck. To this day, that photo is timeless and a classic. I was honored and lucky enough to be able to catch up with Lonnie.
