"My Morning Mantra"

Back when I first started the brainstorming process for Dude Skateboards, and even for Zealous Canvas (my first big business concept), I would wake up in the mornings to listen to one song. That morning mantra of mine was "Beautiful Day" by Gym Class Heroes. More than anything, just listen to the lyrics... They are so motivating.! Not to mention Travie gives a shoutout to the Jackson 5 [RIP King of Pop].

Until later....... "This is that day 'cause I could feel it.!"

"RIP Farrah Fawcett..."

Just received an email that touched me... Especially since the picture that was used was of Farrah Fawcette, who passed away today at age 62, is riding a skateboard.!
With her celebrity, and girly-girl status, Farrah Fawcette did what we respect so greatly at DUDE Skateboards. She changed the 'status quo' of what a skateboarder looks like.
For those of you in the great State of New York, you guys had lots of rain for the official Go Skateboarding Day. So this weekend you'll are in luck with a second go around at Go Skateboarding Day.!!!! Here are a few locations to check out:
If you live in Brooklyn, meet at noon at Homage Skateshop (151 Smith Street, just off the F line at Bergen Street) for a skateboarding trip across the Brooklyn Bridge to the meeting point in Manhattan at Pike and Monroe Streets.
If you live in Manhattan, or are taking the subway, the festivities, which include demonstrations and giveaways, start at 1PM.
Until later... Have fun, and skate the day away.!!!

Here is the link to the original article by Examiner.com.

Lets just say this...... The blog of DUDE Skateboards is officially UNDER CONSTRUCTION. "Stay Away Some::Version One Point None" the first promo video, will be released on Monday, June 29, 2009.
