So, this weekend the Back to the Banks contest is going down in NYC, Manny Mania is happening under the Manhattan Bridge, and the Oregon Trifecta is on in the Northwest. But my kid starts Kindergarten on Monday and I'm not missing that for anything. So I'm sitting out a 24-hour rainstorm in Denver, watching the Olympics. And what do you know? There's skate news to be found there, too. First it was the revelation that swimmer Ryan Lochte is a skateboarder. And just now my Dad emailed me this link to an NPR interview with skateboarder/Olympic steeplechaser Anthony Famiglietti. More on Famiglietti here. Thanks, Dad!
