Crouchbot Might Have Sprung a Leak
Here’s to hoping that stain on his trousers is gin and not wee.
Also, who knew he learned to do the robot from Westgate? Too funny. [Via]

One of Many Reasons Why Skaters Shouldn’t Be Home-Schooled
The photo below was doctored up by a pro skater in his spare time with the caption, “Damn Sheckler, stop bogarting the bat!” Which actually isn’t a bad lesson to learn early on. Sharing is caring, right? Plus, the dude seems to have some a knack for paper craftsmanship. And he’s wearing socks indoors, which is extremely considerate. So actually, I take the headline back. A+ work!

Most Touching Story You Will Ever Read About a Pro Sports Ref
Pat Dapuzzo’s first-person account (as told to Chris Botta) of what he suffered through after being very, very seriously cut in the face (Dapuzzo can no longer smell or taste) while calling an NHL game is honestly the best thing I’ve read all week. Give it a go.

Sixth-Grader Gets 50-State Skate Tour in Name of Home Schooling
A New Hampshire kid, Logan Winkler, gets permission from the public school system to learn on the road while visiting local skate parks. Way to game the system, son (and pops).
The real education? Dad teaching him how to couch surf for months at a time. That skill could prove to be priceless for one so devoted to skating. (Oh, simmer down. Like Cuba Gooding’s brother Tee Pee in “Jerry Maguire”, I’m just keepin’ it ruhl.)
(Official site here.)
(In other news, I have no idea why I just referenced Jerry Maguire.)

Riley Hawk Not So Bad in His Own Right
Tony Hawk is 41. That’s more than old enough to have a 17-year-old son. Which Tony has. His name is Riley Hawk, and he’s an extremely decent skater in his own right. You can see Riley in the clip below, shot during a recent Birdhouse tour of the Northeast. Riley’s in the brown beanie, while his pops is the only nerd at the park wearing a helmet (fame and riches don’t come without a price, people).

Click the image anyway, though. It’s like Hello Kitty on 16-bit meth.
