SK8 Insider: What’s Inside (and Not Inside) the New Issue of Transworld Biz… |
|
Written by Skategeezer

Most skaters don’t get a chance to read
Transworld Business. That’s a shame, because it offers some pretty cool
information.
Transworld Business is the trade magazine that covers
skate, snow and surf. Oddly enough, there used to be 3 distinct
magazines. Now, like a 21st century version of Action Now, there is one
magazine for three industries. I think Transworld Biz does an admirable
job of trying to cover the huge amount of things that are happening in
each of these industries…but it is an impossible task.
Something struck me about the latest issue.
There is only ONE skateboard hard goods brand advertising in the August issue of Transworld biz. I’ll give you 3 guesses
No, Eastern Skateboard Distribution doesn’t count. No, those two ads from importers/3rd party manufactures, don’t count either.
The Arbor ad is for clothing…so that doesn’t count. Nope, the ONLY hard goods skate company in the August issue is… SECTOR 9.
This is an amazing thing for me.
Think about it for a moment…the ONLY skateboard advertiser is one who does not make traditional street decks…or wheels…or trucks (actually, you can buy Sector 9 street product, but that’s not what they are known for). |

Tour De Surrey 2008 RESULTS: Kwantlen Park |

 Tour De Surrey Kwantlen Park Results
There were still
over 20 people in the Beginner category and close to 10 in
Intermediate. It was a beautiful day outside, sun blazing down on us,
not a cloud in the sky, and what better way to spend it than hanging
out right in the heart of Whalley. Tons of people stopped by to check
out the contest on their way to the public pool and the playground. We
definitely had a good response.
The kids at the contest were stoked for
some skating especially Nick Logan, who finally got a new deck. J.R.
tried to show me a rock to fakie on the big quarter pipe during warm up
time and fell pretty hard. I called him out on it during his run and he
fell even harder. I felt bad, but at least he went for it. When that
kid gets a little older, he has potential to be really good. Not really
many people for the Advanced and Sponsored categories, but that's OK,
as long as there was a bunch of people that had fun.

WELCOME TO THE FINE PRINT: In May of this year, a Newsweek cover story by Fareed Zakaria discussed “The Post American World.” Zakara believes that the world has shifted from anti-Americanism to post-Americanism and uses a number of statistics and stories to showcase the monumental changes that are coming. There area number of points that are raised in the story, but ultimately its tone is very positive. One paragraph that I felt was worth noting was the following: “The post-American world is naturally an unsettling prospect for Americans, but it should not be. This will not be a world defined by the decline of America but rather the rise of everyone else. It is the result of a series of positive trends that have been progressing over the last 20 years, trends that have created an international climate of unprecedented peace and prosperity.”

Mike Weed of Hobie Skateboards fame, Birthday Tribute |
|
Written by Rick Tetz

Thursday, 31 July 2008 |
Happy 50th Mike! It was Mike Weeds 50th birthday celebration this month and CalStreets/RFX were honored to be able to take a small part in an old teammates half century celebration. We were contacted by one of Mike's close friend's Rob Hawes who was helping get things setup for Mikes party. Rob asked if we could supply any of our archived HI Res refurbished skate ads of Mike Weed (Hobie Team California) from the past. I said YES, of course, no problem! I informed Rob that I used to skate for Hobie Team Canada back in the 70's. Unfortunately I was never able to meet Mike in person, but I was happy to send up the requested RFX adwork. Looking forward to hearing more about the party, cheers and Aloha from everyone here at CalStreets Mike.
Check out the photo from Warren Bolster's gallery of Mike Weed. Mike Weed Peaks Out in the San Juan Capistrano Pool It
was a deep, clean, pool - but with gnarly coping. Mike turned me on to
the spot and naturally got great coverage for himself, his sponsor
Hobie, and the sport. |

NEWS!!! First Ever Colabo Rider Kevin "Krimes" Reimer wins IGSA France
Race. Krimes is an integral part of Colabo Innovations and has helped immensely
in the growth of the team!
Video and photo documentation has always been an integral part of Colabo
Innovations, which served as mutually beneficial relationships between rider and
sponsor. Colabo Innovations has previously released a standard definition video
that was filmed over the past 2 years, titled “12 in Oh Seven”. This video has
not only entertained many, but has also been used as a tool in presentations and
meetings to help promote the sport which has subsequently resulted in newly
endorsed races.

Brag Magazine Australia - Interview: Rick Tetz creator CalStreets.com |

 Interview with Rick Tetz creator CalStreets.com
1.. What is CalStreets all about?
Cal Streets is all about respect for skateboarding and skateboarders. One of the most enjoyable parts of being a skater is the socialization and camaraderie with other skaters. Real old school point of view but that was the way it was. This was particularly important when I was competing and skating as part of Team Sims. Without my teammates pushing each other I would never realized my dream of finally winning first in the 1980 Canadian Nationals. I believe skating is about personal freedom and personal responsibility for your actions, not about bean counting and sales.
After working for Canada's largest skateboard distributor, I saw a real lacking in the quality of stores I saw here in Canada (circa 1981). After visiting ValSurf California (Biggest and Best at the Time) I wanted to make CalStreets a destination, not just a shop. And with a few whack ideas and hard work CalStreets was born.
"Michael Brooke: Editor Concrete Wave Magazine Blog Quote: "Rick's shop, Cal Streets has quite a legacy in Vancouver (and beyond!). His shop wasn't just a skate shop, it was a meca. It was perhaps one of the greatest, most successful skateshops on the planet.
Rick promoted CalStreets with a huge amount of marketing and through an extraordinary amount of hard work and perseverance it became the number 1 skate shop in Canada - but I am getting ahead of myself."
