Regina's Indoor Park - RIP

Our friends at Tiki Room/Sk8 Regina have announced that their indoor park - the longest standing of it's kind in Canada - has been forced to close its doors to make way for a new football stadium.  First launched as a pilot project with the City of Regina, the park has been providing skateboarders with a place to escape the long prairie winters since 1997.

Tiki Room owner/SK8 Regina president Noel Wendt reports that their organization is working hard with the City to find a new suitable location, and we wish them the best of luck in their search.

Colin McKay On 'The Chrome Ball Incident'

Plan B’s Colin McKay is as pioneering as they come. Over the weekend,The Chrome Ball Incident caught up with the original Red Dragon for a quick chat. Here is a short except of the interview.

“Questionable remains one of those sacred-type of videos for an entire generation and your part was definitely among its highlights. I imagine filming for that was already in progress when you got on, right?

Yeah, filming was in progress. I filmed for about 3 months on that one. And it’s funny because when you’re a kid, 3 months is good. Like if someone came up to me right now and told me that I had 3 months to film, I might get 3 tricks. But when you’re a kid and you don’t ever film, you have so much shit that’s ready to go. You’re just dying to get out there…too bad I’ve been fucking filming for 20-years straight now.

But honestly, I wasn’t that psyched on my Questionable part. I was much more psyched on Virtual Reality, that part was more me. Out skating with the homies in the streets all day, filming. That was more true to what we were doing at the time. I was so little during Questionable that people would basically tell me things to do and I’d do them.”

FSU Fridays - Paul Machnau & RIP Jeff Hanneman

In this episode we stop in at Vancouver's new UBC campus skatepark and North Van's Lonsdale park with Paul Machnau, with a couple of guest appearances by John Hanlon and Ryan Oughton.

Make sure you turn this clip up to full blast in memory of Slayer's Jeff Hanneman, who passed away yesterday at the young age of 49.  Slayer has always had a huge influence on Paul and skateboarding in general, and we're positive that Jeff's playing will continue to inspire skateboarders for generations to come.  Rest in Peace, Hanneman.
