SKATE CONTEST - July 29-30 - Oerendhard - www.oerendhard.net 25TH MONSTER MASTERSHIP scheduled to celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, has now definitely been called off by its organisers, Titus communications GmbH. The cancellation is primarily due to problems in financing the event. Potential sponsors have already exhausted their budgets for the World Cup Soccer event or are uneasy about making further investment, fearing a “vacuum” for sporting events following the football mega-event. In addition, the turbulent market situation also didn’t make putting on the event any easier. In recent years, the event was co-financed with the help of Titus Dittman, founder of the diverse companies within titus AG, and the current market situation in the skateboard sector in particular – the core business of titus Ag – equally made this unfeasible. Regrettably then for the organisers and all skateboarding fans, the Mastership will not take place this year for the first time in 24 years. We look forward to the 25th anniversary of the competition next year, because it’s only been postponed, not cancelled......the Mastership will be back! Tentative plans are in the works by WCS to hold the World Championships later in the year in Southern California. www.wcsk8.com
SKATE CONTEST - Skatepark of Tampa and Shaqueefa present Saturday - July 22 - Bonus Free Day - 7th Annual Thunder High Ollie Challenge at Skatepark of Tampa - Tampa, FL. www.skateparkoftampa.com. BORDERTOWN NEEDS YOUR HELP - A letter from John the Baker - Bordertown Skatepark was set up by a few skaters who were inspired to build a skate park in a bad neighborhood in Oakland, CA. Up to this point, Oakland had no skateparks. Skaters got together, found a plot of land, under a bridge and started construction. Not too long afterwards, Caltrans discovered the renagade operation and took legal action to destroy what had been built. The City of Oakland was approached by the skate builders and were encouraged to assist. City of Oakland has since stepped up and has been negotiating with Caltrans to lease the land and then lease it to the skaters for the park. So Boardertown Skatepark has incorporated as a non profit and has a nonprofit tax ID number and we are now in the fundraising stage and reaching out to skaters and skateboard related businesses and asking for donations. The time is urgent now because we are close to signing the lease and we need money to pay for the lease and to buy supplies to complete construction once the lease is signed. We have 4 benefit concerts planned over the next few months and want to do raffles of skate decks, wheels, shirts etc. and other skate related items so please send what you can to us to help us raise the needed moneys to make this skatepark happen as well as making tax deductable cash donations. We have a paypal button on the website http://www.bordertownskatepark.org So please, go there now and contribute. We appreciate your support. Thank You, John the Baker. http://www.bordertownskatepark.org.

CBGB To Close On Halloween 2006 - The New York Daily News is reporting that after a long and nasty rent fight, the owner of the legendary rock club CBGB agreed yesterday to move out of its grungy East Village site next year. "I guess money talks. That's the name of the game," said Hilly Kristal, who opened the dank punk mecca in 1973. "We tried our best." CBGB, which gave bands like the RAMONES and TALKING HEADS a start, will leave its home on the Bowery next Halloween. Kristal is hoping to move the club to a new spot on the lower East Side and has looked at several spaces. But he also is considering opening a namesake joint in Las Vegas and is negotiating with deep-pocketed partners. "I'm trying to stay in New York, but New York is expensive," Kristal said. The Bowery Residents' Committee, a nonprofit homeless-support group, owns the building housing CBGB and has long maintained that Kristal was paying far too little rent. "[We] can now concentrate on helping the needy and homeless of New York City" said Executive Director Muzzy Rosenblatt.
