Just in case. If we ever say something stupid, please note that said stupidity is ours, and ours alone. Our stupidity! You can’t have it!

We Suck
We skate every other day at the East Coast Skate Park (Kenboy owes us some photos) but we still suck.
This boy is five years old and has landed a sponsorship deal with the Board Shop in London, becoming the youngest skater in the city to get that kind of backing.
Being on top of the news all the time, the Big Balls Daily is bringing to your attention a pretty wicked new truck design.
As you can see from the video, this is a top-mounted truck system that accommodates long-boards.
The spider-shaped trucks, which its inventor describes as Tarantula Trucks, took about 6½ years, seven different prototypes and a broken collarbone to design.
We doubt it would ever make the transition from longboard to skateboard.
Our most avid followers will recall that in September last year, the Big Balls Daily reviewed one of the sexiest new products on the market - the bamboo skateboard by Bamboo Sk8.
At that time, the product was decidedly new, and we were one of the first reviewers in the world. Now, Bamboo Sk8 is quickly becoming a solid brand in the skateboarding scene, with its bamboo skateboards retailing in shops all over the world, including Singapore.
We were thus pleasantly surprised to learn that Bamboo Sk8 had noticed our review when it first appeared. In fact, they had many nice things to say about it. Appended below is a snapshot from their official blog (which you can click and enlarge for your own viewing satisfaction).
Now, that's a great line: First Big Balls Daily, then the world!
