We just saw this on TMZ this morning. Allegedly, what seems to be an intoxicated Chad Muska was arrested in Hollywood for tagging his name “MUSKA” on a Coffee Bean and “MUSKA KILLS” on the El Capitan Theater last night. According to the TMZ report, Chad Muska was detained by security guards at the Roosevelt Hotel around 2am until LAPD showed up. Chad Muska was then arrested and booked for felony vandalism charges. Chad Muska is currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Some of us here at Skateboarding Skateboards have skated with Chad Muska in Phoenix, AZ back in the day and from what we see on this video he seems out of it. The gnarly beard may be influencing him to do some pretty crazy things (kidding of course).

Ditch everything but the skateboard, that meeting with the folks, forget it, and hit up the park, your local skate spot, or that abandoned pool next door in that foreclosed home, and just watch out for the 5-0 because they will be watching today. June 21st, the summer solstice in most people’s minds, is also another hot topic day, Go Skateboarding Day. With the longest period of daylight of the year, today was created back in 2003 as a day for skateboarders around the world to come together and join in their favorite pastime. No matter where you are in the world, today is reserved for any and all to grab a skateboard and have fun.

Back in 2003 from its beginnings, this day was created with the skateboarder in mind, bringing together one and all to engage in or even learn how to skateboard. Thanks in most part to the International Association of Skateboard Companies; today is now a holiday to skateboarders all over the world. While most are at work, or sitting in front of their television on the couch, skateboarders have been coming together over the past few weeks if not months making plans for today.

If you have ever been skateboarding, you know the thrill and excitement that comes with the freedom of the skateboard underneath your feet, well that is, after you learn to balance it between you and the ground. But once you learn the basics, the world has a new view; the view from the skateboarder’s eye is completely different from those who only know of the world on their feet.

Today is a day to inspire anyone to take up that skateboard, beg, borrow, just get one in your hands, put it on the ground and stand on it, learn to control the skateboard, you may fall, but that comes with the territory. Every skateboarder started out the same. Learning how to control the somewhat unwieldy piece of board on wheels at their feet. Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless. Some use it for transportation; others find an amazingly exhilarating sport that changes them for life.

June 21st is the day where skateboarders come together to do what they love, and to get others informed about what is going on in their circle of life. Today is an offering into a glimpse of a different lifestyle from the norm. Somewhere in your vicinity, there is a group of skateboarders who have made plans for today, be it at their skate park, or anywhere with a surface suitable for skating, they are congregating and shredding the land with their skateboards.

Don’t let June 21st slip by without skateboarding on Go Skateboarding Day! Learn more about skateboarding and the history of skateboarding from SkateboardingSkateboards.com.

The plan is for the plaza to be completed by the time Dyrdek comes to town again in mid July. The plaza will be built at Chavez Park located at 35th Avenue and Baseline. The plaza will be located near the Softball Fields, just southwest of the Libary.

UPDATE – 6/18/2011:

We visited the new location of the Safe Spot Skate Spot in Phoenix, Arizona over the weekend to find just the area marked with a fence. No construction had begun from what we could see. Hope the company in charge of the construction is fast as this deadline is coming up quickly.

Here it is folks, the first look at Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory season 2 trailer. This season looks way more action packed with appearance of John Mayer, Blink 182, a Liger and more!

Fantasy Factory Season 2 is gearing up to look pretty awesome as Bobby Light (Rob Dyrdek) and Travis Barker of Blink 182 appear to be working on a new Bobby Light track for Season 2 of Fantasy Factory. Check out these images which also show some of the new features of the Fantasy Factory.
