R.I.P. Van Wastell (1984 - 2008)

The skateboarding community lost a true hero yesterday.  Van Wastell fell from his hotel window in Berlin, Germany and passed away.  Van had just gotten his first board from Krooked and was well on his way.  You will be missed.

Loaded Broke Leg Skate Jam & Benefit; Saturday Sept. 5th, 9:30pm

We will be hosting a benefit event with Loaded Skateboards out of Wake Forest this Saturday, September 5th, at 9:30 pm.  There will be a $5.00 donation to get in at the door and there will be a few bands (including our own lovable Frank Hazard) playing as well.  All of the proceeds from the door will go toward Tim and the crew’s buddy Luke, who broke himself off with no health insurance.
