The people who did pittskate abandoned the site and their skateboards(but i bet they still wear skate shoes), so it just went to shit. But steve d still has the site, he moved it to blogspot and still puts stuff on there, so go there and if you have it linked to your site, please change it. steve

Something like: "Hey Lets Start a Magazine" (2004 - Blank Skate Mag), "Hey, Lets Start a Social Network that is just about skateboarding" (2003-2007 Blank Skate Lounge) "Hey, Lets drive half way across the coutry, spend $3000 on a contest where first prize is $1000 and we can split it 5 ways" (2006-2007 Blank Skate Team to 3rd Lair in MN) "Hey, The Skatepark is Almost Paid for, lets rip it down and build a new one! (Skatepark of Natrona... Jeff Revilla

Sometimes when you own  your own skateshop, you get these ideas in your head that you think will be genius.  Something like:

"Hey Lets Start a Magazine" (2004 - Blank Skate Mag), 
"Hey, Lets Start a Social Network that is just about skateboarding" (2003-2007 Blank Skate Lounge)
"Hey, Lets drive half way across the coutry, spend $3000 on a contest where first prize is $1000 and we can split it 5 ways" (2006-2007 Blank Skate Team to 3rd Lair in MN)
"Hey, The Skatepark is Almost Paid for, lets rip it down and build a new one! (Skatepark of Natrona 2002-2007 )

And most of the ideas you have are terrible and will kill you in the long run.  But, when the money is good....WHO CARES! ! !  It is so much fun.  Too much fun.

Here are a few board graphics that never made it to print at Blank Skate.  And in hind sight.....I have to say, that it is probably a shame they never got made.  Come on....A ROOSTER WITH A SADDLE! ! !

The shop and park are called Scumbag. All I know is that it is getting awesome down there. And by awesome I mean like Pitfall on the Atari 2600. You first have to make it past an Iquana and an Alligator, then you get to skate. Jeff Revilla

But I still have a profound hatred of rollerbladers. At first I thought this was a DC Shoes promo and that is why I clicked on it. Yeah, I was wrong. It has happened before with me in the skateboard industry and it's a shame it happened again. Maybe I should have watched the whole thing, but i could literally only take it in 5 second intervals. I have no idea what is going on and why the music is so serious. And... Jeff Revilla

Maybe I should have watched the whole thing, but i could literally only take it in 5 second intervals.  I have no idea what is going on and why the music is so serious.  And why are rollerbladers compared to real heroes who gave their lives for us?  It is seriously a bunch of rollerbladers climbing a grass hill and riding a boat.  Is it a goal of rollerbladers to ruin everything in our lives, including liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

WTF is going on in this country?  I can't believe people are worried about health care and government takeover when there is this happening in our country.  WAKE UP PEOPLE!
