With the Euro 2012 going on it seems the TV ratings are up BUT the blockbuster summer movies are being affected. Could it be because these competitions are more representative of the country and its pride compared to nations like the U.S. where many of the sporting events are treated like past times like a movie or concert?
Our travels have started back up again now that summer is here. Schaefer was at the Grand Opening of Woodward Tahoe, where Tony Hawk, Slash, Riley Hawk, and Clive Dixon were ripping the new facility after arriving on private jets. Before that, a quick stop in San Francisco was made where he takes you on a tour of the Thrasher Magazine offices with Tony Vitello and Jake Phelps. There’s also a Digital Product Toss courtesy of Thrasher in there. Leave a comment with your answer to Schaefer’s question and you could come up on a nice Thrasher box. – RIDE Channel
