We are now into mid-February and if you weren't down at the ASR Tradeshow last week you were probably skating indoors or freezing your ass off. But regardless, skate news and gossip will keep coming no matter the weather.

In last weeks news, King Shit started offering up their witty mag for FREE on their website, DC launched a new site giving a behind the scenes look at the skate team with the  DC 7zine website.  Skate 3 showed off videos of the upcoming game paying tribute to Vancouver's own Don "Mad Carver." Canadian's received some hype internet exposure with Jay Brown featured on the Supra blog and Corey Wilson over on the Skate New Spot website. StrangeNotes skateboarding also showed some Canadian amateur love with two Canadiam videos and PUSH.ca put up three exclusive 'Chilling in California' with Jordan Hoffart videos. Be sure to watch all three.

Two columns were posted, Sayer took an inside look at The Baitshop, which is quickly becoming the cornerstone in the Toronto skate/art scene. Frank checked in with an Edmonton under-the-radar ripper,  Rise Up: Nate Roline. Don't miss this as Nate has come a long way since his "Kybosh" part a few years ago.

The Blogs were all over the map, in a good way. Scotty went MIA at ASR, but it sounds like he will have stories for weeks after hanging out with Dave Carnie. Rob Dyer and the Skate4Cancer crew continue their sleeveless journey across New Zealand. The weather being the exact opposite of Canada there right now. Sayer examined Antwuan Dixon before his face was tattooed and found video evidence that Bill Weiss is still mctwisting, just with more clothes on. At the Grammys Adam Sandler continued his support of DC showing them some mainstream love.

Kitsch is heading back to Shenzhen to wrap up the final 4 days of their China trip. Frank took a look at Mikey Taylor's insane Mindfield B-footage and Club Mumble interviewed legendary hooverboarder Michael J. Fox.

In the Polls you were asked how the movie TENS can be topped. Well you have spoken and it seems that it cannot be as that would be an impossible task.
