Micah joins the 360skate skateboard team. Sure he can’t walk yet but you should see him skate. He is the youngest rider on the team by far at a little over a year old. His joining the team at such a young age is partially biased, since his dad owns the shop. He trains daily chasing his 2 older sisters around the house on his board. His competition tour schedule is not going to start for another few years due to in inability to walk, talk and use the bathroom on his own. Keep an eye out for this shredder in the future.

LAS VEGAS- On April 6th, skating legend and Olympic gold medalist Danny Way announced that he will attempt to break another world record for the “Bomb Drop,” or “Highest Drop on a Skateboard.”Way will drop from the giant neon guitar on top of the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. Way previously had made the Guiness Book of World Records when he became the first person to jump the Great Wall of China on a skateboard in 2005. The Hardrock Casino event is free and will be held in the hotel parking lot from 6-8.
The “Bomb Drop” is when a skater drops from a structure, free falling onto a landing. The current world record for the bomb drop is held by Norweigan Adil Dyani. Way will attempt to nearly double his record. Guiness World Records will be attendance to record the distance of his drop.

Even though our directory is less than a year old we decided it needed some changes. Over the past month we have been changing the look and feel of The 360skate Skateboard Directory to give it a cleaner and easier to use interface. It will always be a work in progress to bring you the best skateboard news, skateboard links and skateboard resources for our customers at 360skate.com. The forums have also been overhauled to blend with the overall look and feel (but there is more to come in the forum section in the months to come, Shhhh). And then the next step is the work on the shop. No hints of that yet. We hope you enjoy the new design and feedback is always apprecieted.
The 360skate Skateboard Directory is run by the skaters at 360skate.com for skaters.
