Don&apos;t believe every pocket philosopher you might hear.<br /><br /> The word "elite" gets tossed around all too often by those who don&apos;t understand the technical definition of the word.

Sure, in the sense of the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition which clearly points out that the root of elite is from ...

Dateline, Orange, California. The combi as you may or may not have known it, no longer exists. In an unannounced coup, Steve Van Doren decided that a few performance-enhancing changes must take place. The tortured and rutty coping of the combi is no longer. The odd lumps in the "saddle" have been ground away, and an extremely corrosive acid solution is being concocted in deep secrecy in a clandestine laboratory. Lord Van Doren mandated that for this year&apos;s pool party, with expectations running off the charts, the pool must rise to the standard of the elite riders who ...

Today is Sunday April 15, 2007 and as I write this I&apos;m sitting on an airplane on my way back home from my adventurous trip to Los Angeles. The kick off party was this past weekend, and a party it was…. <p><p> It all started Thursday for me. I awoke from my bed to the sound of my 5:00 alarm. Though it was early I was not hesitant to put my eager feet on the ground. I got all ready to head to the glamorous city of Los Angeles. I arrived at the Toledo airport just ...

What goes in in this concrete coliseum is the stuff that legends are made of, without cgi monsters and special effects, without whopping 200 million dollar film budgets, without chariots, lions, and gladiators, and certainly not borrowed or adapted from any fantasy novel. Legendary makes for a fair enough description(when profanity cannot be used) and we&apos;ll use it here for the time being.<br /><br /> You see, no literary work of fiction could tell a story more riveting than the truth of what occurs during this one day of modern mayhem. Many of the best skateboarders this ...
