Random News From the Skate World – August 2007
Thank God the sun is letting off a little less heat these days. Salt Lake was starting to seem more like Phoenix for a while there. That would be okay if we had as many empty and full swimming pools as they do. In unfortunate news, Adam Dyet will no longer be calling Utah home.

Talkin’ Shop With Union Skate Shop
Sandy City finally has a skate shop they can be proud of. On top of that, the skaters of Sandy now have a place to skate during the winter months or when it’s rainy outside. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have thing against mall shops (they suck), I just hate all the other people

Summer is coming in hot, no wait it’s cold. Utah is a strange place with even weirder weather patterns. Can you see the patterns? Listen up, tons of bullshit to talk about. Let’s start with the wonderful, horrible life of the Lizard King. It seems that he and his trusty sidekick (and brother), Bob Plumb
