Halifax Pop Explosion
The HPX guide is out, and somehow they got a photo of what “appears” to be some sort of “band” playing in our “basement”. Or does every dirty basement have a wall of Marshalls and a singing horse? Apparently the “show” was quite well “received”.
“Weird”.
Be sure to check out as much of the HPX as you possibly can. Lots of good music and events going on. For more info pick up a guide or check the website,

Christian Prosoi
Mr. Hosoi is one of the most influential and stylish skaters ever. His skating in the 1980’s was fast, big and unique. Needless to say, the guy is an icon.
But what better way to pay tribute to an icon than by putting our name where his should be on the legendary Hammerhead graphic. Classy.
Lots of the new Prosoi Ts are now available downtown, so come pay tribute to Holmes…and your homies…here at Proskates.

3 Dudes, 2 Bowls, 1 Cup!
Alright, this is gonna be a fun contest. Or funny, at least the last half. Here are the details,
Teams of 3 Guys (or girls, limited spots, register with mark@fistfullafives.com)
Bowl #1, Small Bowl Jam at the Commons starts at 4:00, Sunday Oct 18.
Bowl #2, Bowling! (on Element!) at Bowlarama on Bayers Road starts at 8:30
Highest score of the two bowls wins the cup and a prize pack to each team member.
Prizes also awarded for 2nd and 3rd place team.
Team names, uniforms, and shenaniganism encouraged!
Oh, by the way, I have this guy on my team, his name is Neil Blackwood. He can skate ok, but he’s obviously gonna kill it in the lanes.
And this guy, who is also holding a bowling trophy. Those are the 2 fingers that go in the ball.
New wood
Just a few new decks in, but they are doozies.
From left, OG Hammerhead, Pool Glass Ripper, Skull and Sword, and a Duane Peters cruiser deck from Black Label Emergency.
From left, the new Expose mag (with the Salty Dogs tour article, pick it up if you can find one), Pocket Pistols Chickens Pool, Tile Stick, and the Motor-Shroeder.
…An Acquired Taste.
Hey Dudes! You tried Guinness before? No? WTF…you better get on that. Its really, really good though…but oddly enough, I bet you won’t like it when you try it…funny how that works eh? Its kinda like Pro Skates though…I bet the first time you came in here, you were like “I hate those dicks…but they have good stuff”. So you keep coming back, trying to ignore our antics, but eventually, you love us. Thats like Guinness, something somewhere along the way makes you like the taste. I couldn’t imagine my life without Guinness, Skateboarding or Pro Skates…well I can imagine it…but it would suck.
