Randy Colvin in a bad way
(
source AoS / reported by AMORONE
)
It appears Randy Colvin may be going away to prison for armed robbery. Friends close to Randy say that he has been dealing with a drug problem, and it seems to have gotten the best of him. We all hate to see such talent gone to waste. Too many folks end up in prison or dead due to drugs. I am sure we all have stories we could share. Keep in mind, the poor employee (and their family) who Randy traumatized and could have accidentally killed. Here is the report and very clear video of the robbery: Man Sought in Armed Robbery of Phoenix gas station

Jeremy Klein reissues his own deck!
(
source AoS / reported by AMORONE
)
If you loved the old Jeremy Klein "Candy Bar" deck, well here is your chance to get a new one. Klein...for some odd reason...is doing his own small reissue run that appears to be some kind of "side project". It comes in two shapes (new and old school) and is silk screened by the original
screeners (Screamin’ Squegees). You can go find more info at Candy Bar Board.

X-Games and my birthday weekend blowout!
(
source AoS / reported by AMORONE
)
Well, as I always like to do, my birthDAY becomes a birthWEEK celebration. Blew it out from Thursday thru Sunday to celebrate 43 years on the flying mudball we call Earth. Don't fret though...you can still send all your NOS decks, petty cash and Southwest airline drink vouchers to me as a gift! (hahaha)
And of course, I did spend some time checking out the X-Games (although I was trying to boycott them due to their decision to cut the women's vert and bowl contest in order to have pro video gamers there....uggg...but that's another discussion). Hated to see Bucky not win vert, but he was hurt and did manage to finally take a medal in rally racing! The big air contest was great to see but without Way in there it doesn't seem as much a competition as a demo of a few kids and Bob Burnquist. (haha) I think the Brazilian skater,Edgard Pereira, got ripped off in that too by the way. Street or "guess who comes in second place to Nyjah Huston" went as expected. The bowl contest however was AWESOME!!!! Loved to see our local boy Grant Taylor come in second!!! Pedro...well...he was just Pedro. haha McClain killed and could win if he could just stay on a run! Caples and Jaws were fun to watch. Just the whole thing was great to watch! Now, next year, let's hope they get the women back in there!
