Chaz Ortiz: 'Officially Down' with ZY
by: Colin Bane

Looks like Zoo York is giving up the game of pretending Chaz Ortiz isn't a pro, after winning the 2008 Dew Tour and little events like the... uh... PlayStation Pro, and then holding his own for another year of pro competition all over the place in 2009.

Peep this new ZY ad: Chaz Ortiz is Officially Down.

Chris Cole rules The Berrics, too
by: Colin Bane

Remember that bit last week about how well Chris Cole is managing to balance a core skateboarding life with more commercial contest pursuits like the collecting of X Games Gold and Dew Cups?

Click over to The Berrics for the most recent dose of that other side of Chris Cole: He's The Berrics' newest Battle Commander as of today, and his BC part is the sickness you've come to expect from Cole and from The Berrics, for that matter.

Jay Adams 1974 complete sells on eBay for $3,678
by: Colin Bane

Hot damn, that right there is a $3,678 fiberglass skateboard. This piece of Jay Adams history, circa 1974, brought in the big bucks in September, making the cut for the latest installment of Skate And Annoy's monthly eBay Watch. Lots of good stuff this month, actually, with some good boards from the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. The recession must really have some old dudes cleaning out the closet.

End of an era? Vert Is Dead Jam at Skatepark of Tampa
by: Colin Bane

The dudes at Skatepark of Tampa have been bitching about that "U-shaped ramp" out back for as long as I can remember, the annual Tampa Pro vert contest that most vert skaters couldn't even be bothered to show up for notwithstanding, but this time it looks like the final nail in the coffin: SPoT's hosting the Vert Is Dead Jam on Halloween costumes mandatory and it's not even a vert contest.

Via SkateparkOfTampa.com:

"As the vert ramp meets its inevitable demise, one last contest will be brutally hosted upon its gloomy layers"

R.I.P., SPoT Vert.
