Blow stuff up!

Friday July 4, 2008
It's the 4th of July, the day we Americans celebrate our independence, and enjoy blowing stuff up! For the rest of the world, this might just be an normal day, but there's no reason you can't blow some stuff up too! In fact, the Mystic Sk8 Cup, the best skateboarding competition in Europe, starts today. If you live someplace in Europe, you should go to Prague and see it!

For those of you in the Americas, or Africa, Asia, Australia, or even Antarctica, going to Prague might not be something you can pull off in an afternoon. So, I would welcome you in the fine American tradition of exploding something, throwing a party, and enjoying your freedoms. Even if you live in a country that has less freedom than the USA, you still have plenty of freedoms to celebrate. And if you are reading this, I'm guessing that skateboarding is one of them - so grab your board, get out there and enjoy being alive! Go Skateboarding Day might have passed, but that's no less a reason to ride your board, to throw a party, or just to enjoy the freedom to skate.
