ANOTHER MALDEN SKATE JAM
Bring your extra clip, chain wallet, and toilet paper to the Malden skatepark for a skate jam of epic distortions! If you are thinking about missing this one, think about Qaumi's japan grabs and shut your mouth. Butchie will be hosting a runway competition, and Billy D will be judging the competition for "most green." Preliminary votes are in and Mike Fork has won the title of biggest goon. Filho took 2nd in the straightest hair competition, leaving John Tweak as the reigning champion.

In related news, stop by Coliseum sometime soon to see Josh's stupid fucking golf ball hat.
John Tweak was spotted with his mentor Preston Edgewater recently. Preston found a winning $1,000 scratch ticket earlier that night, and celebrated with an enormous bag of crack. Make good choices, John.

SPONSOR ME TAPE
Hot Coliseum news. Check out this sponsor me tape we just received at the main office. I think he's from Saugus.
Also, Legs has been inspired ever since he saw Keith's art show, and has now labeled himself as a "not so starving artist"
IN LIGHTER NEWS
Keith Fallon, longtime friend of the Coliseum is exhibiting his artwork in Beverly. The opening party is on Wednesday the 9th, from 6pm to 8pm. Everyone needs to go, It's going to be amazing. Click here for directions. Jennifer Love Hewitt already RSVP'd...TWICE. I once asked Keith what his art was all about. He responded only by jamming a knife between my ribs. I get it now.
Be sure to hurry home from the show because Coliseum bouncer and brick smasher JW is being featured on a National Geographic Special. I think its about serial killers and their fluffy pets

FISKE UPDATES
Fiske and Legs have been killing it. The infamous Eric Pupecki has been negotiating a bike sale with Fiske. Rumor has it that Pupecki wanted it so badly, a VHS copy of Street Cinema and tickets to a DJ Redbeard show were thrown in as well.
Fiske decided to sell all his prized possessions to save up for newer, fresher produce. Help him maintain a healthy lifestyle by visiting his sale page. I'd recommend buying his apple computer loaded with secret bootleg footage of himself. While you're at it, check out his new band, EGGS OF EGO

Big News
Lots and lots has been going on this January. Probably the biggest news i can think of would be what happened to Schuyler Ricketts this month. Well, if you may or may not have known, Schuyler was attacked pretty seriously last week. While sticking up for his friend in his own house, he was hit in the face with a brick, which broke his jaw in a couple places, had to get it wired shut and he's got some screws and some metal in there. Also, a big chunk of his ear was cut off. He was knocked out the whole time, so he didn't even know what happened... he knew it was a brick because the brick he found on the floor matched up with the marks on his face. crazy. Schuyler spent 3 days in the hospital, go stitches, surgery on his jaw and all kinds of medical support and he has no health insurance. For any of you who have been to the hospital without health insurance, even with the smallest reason, it costs boatloads. Any and all donations can be made at the Coliseum (454 Franklin St. Melrose MA 02176(781)662-3400).
On a lighter side of the news, the Coliseum T.F.(training facility) located in whereabouts unknown has been getting sessioned daily and nightly by all your favorite Coliseum skaters. Dave Armsden has been making frequent stops at the T.F. training for his part in the upcoming coliseum video. Training is the most important part of skateboarding. Every skater needs a training facility. Zero's got one.

Construction
THE COLISEUM SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION... As we all know, the coliseum site is having some trouble showing all the updates, the Coliseum is hot on the case and is working hard to fix all the bugs. In the mean while, enjoy some of the new photos we are posting up here, as well as the new DADDY LONG LEGS Flat Ground Fiasco clip. We hope to have all the complications and bugs worked out as soon as possible. In other news, with Christmas on its way, what better way to show you care than with a Coliseum board! For $39.99, you could get a board off the website and the holiday shopping season could be made quite simple. What has the Coliseum team been up to? Well, Schuyler has been renting a room inside of a giant mansion in the Modesto California area. The women have been paying his way. Who needs a job? Chuy has been out in Modesto also, going to school and filming. Wait till you see the new footage!!! Both of them have been killing it. Legs has been keeping busy as well, working with Fiske as a government painter. They just finished painting the White house with a stunning coat of green. Check the new $20 bills for proof. Legs has been nursing a badly rolled ankle for the past few weeks. Expect his flatground fiascos to continue as soon as Coliseum pony's up the dough to fix his beautiful ankles. Fiske has been shutting down the streets with his enormous pop and high speed hill bombs. Could there be a future Mrs. Fiske? Thats right folks! Colin has been seen parading around town with his new girl/doppleganger, Colleen. It's true. Kinda weird, huh? What has Vey been up to, you ask? "Nothing legal!"... Seriously. When he isn't out skating abandoned mini golf courses and hitting up some of the most secret hot spots you wish you could find, he has been filming his new movie "Vey, Portrait of a Serial Killer". This movie is an in-depth look at the Kings brief period of a serial killer "I hope you have a strong stomach" said Vey. Expect the movie/documentary to drop right after the turn of the new year. HECTOR GIL!!!... a man who needs no introduction..... just kidding... Hector has been shredding quite hard indeed. Him and Billy Needham have been out-steezing the entire Boston scene and not even knowing it. Check the Hector clip if you don't believe me. Dave Armsden: Missing. If you see him or hear from him contact the Coliseum (781)662-3400. We got to know how long his hair is now. Once again, sorry on the lack of updates. We hope to have all these problems figured out before you finish reading this... So here is our way for buying more time... "There's no such thing as big boned. Have you ever seen a skeleton with a double chin?" -Brian Leary

Six Cokes and One Throat
It's just another normal Tuesday morning. I woke up at 8:00am with a slightly parched throat, and decided I needed to walk down six flights of stairs to get a coke. Luckily the vending machine knows who I am and decided to give me six cokes for the price of one. The day already seems awesome. I crawl back into bed after a drink and fall back asleep. It's 11:00am, and my phone is vibrating. I pick it up and am greeted with a "Heyyy Tim." It's my boss, and long-time friend J. (John) Brown; 51% of the genious team that is currently running the Coliseum Skateboard Superstore in Melrose. "Hey Jeff, what's good?" "Not too much Tim, I just wanted to see if you wanted to write some news for the Coliseum website, like you've been saying you would for the last two months." "Oh, yea... uh...yea I'll try and figure something out." "Well I know you're out at school, so if the news is a few weeks old, that's OK. But try and keep it interesting." "I'll try my darndest." I hang up the phone and think to myself, "What the fudge am I going to write about?" I decide the only way to get the creative juices flowing is to go back to bed. 2:00pm rolls around and I'm awoken again from a text message. At first I assume it's just one of the five-hundred females trying to get their fix of Tom Tweak. But when I look at the screen, I'm surprised to see that it's not Cindy69, KellyKissyFace, or Franny420. It's not even any broad that wants to hang out with me. It's even better; A long-time friend and mentor who I assumed was dead somewhere in Stoneham, MA. That's right, good-ole Dave "Happy" Armsden. I jumped out of bed so I could respond to his text message that simply read, "Thrash it!! - Dave" "Armsden!! What's going on, bud? -Tom" "Slashing secret ditches. Are you at school?- Dave" "Yea, I'm back in Amherst. What have you been up to?- Tom" Unfortunatly, that was the last I heard from Davey Boy. But I still thought it was interesting enough to share with all you. Maybe everyone else out there was as concerned about Armsden's well-being as I was, and these text messages gave me the satisfaction of knowing that our best bud is still alive and slashing somewhere in eastern MA. What? That story wasn't interesting enough for you? Would you rather of heard a month old story about how I tried to burn down an entire island with The Fiske, Daddy Long Legs, the 99 video's Brian Leary, Zach Crockett, Sacco, and the rest of the Tweak Brothers? Seriously. That's old news. -L.o.F.I.P.

Hey, do you have a light?
The COLISEUM, the shop and the team, have undergone some seriously earth-shattering changes within the past year. The store itself has begun importing all sorts of new and exciting goods from your favorite skateboard companies. Keep in mind that the COLISEUM is 100% SKATEBOARDING! Sorry snowbrucers, rollerkook’s and bmx barneys, you’ll just have to go somewhere else. Look forward to seeing some radically new and exciting products making their way through the sacred corridors of the COLISEUM this summer!
The team is now: Colin Fiske, Daddy Longlegs, Hector Gil, Dave Vey, Chuy Madrigal, Schulyer Ricketts and of course, Dave Armsden.
Colin Fiske is presently in Europe with Fos and the Heroin crew kicking ass in the morning and taking names eventually. Their whole modus operandi is to get Fiske on some sort of program where he eats, sleeps, showers, and basically lives like a pseudo-normal person. To say the least, Fos is frustrated, but in typical Fiske fashion, he somehow comes through to remind us all of why he is, “The Fiske”.
Daddy Long Longs, a.k.a. Adam Cowell, was man enough to face the wilderness head on and balls out while he was working in Yosemite National Park this summer. Legs spent his days bathing in waterfalls that bled into natural springs, running towards bear at full speed and creating new flat ground tricks that will blow your joints out. Legs better have saved his money because skaters everywhere are going to file for child support after they realize whom their daddy is.
Hector “Chill” Gil, has been keeping all of Lynn stoked with his consistently cool demeanor on and off his board. His nollie skills have reached a new all time high that even has R-Rod asking for trick tips. The Gillman has been skating a ton lately and is looking forward to COLISEUM road trips where Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” is on constant repeat.
Dave Vey has been keeping up a strict regiment of watching horror movies and slashing on the stuntwood. Vey spent all winter skating indoor parks and of course a lot of “mellowing out”. Now it’s summer he’s hitting the streets regularly with his friends in the pursuit of life, liberty and the happiness that follows after watching people being torn apart and eaten by an army of the living dead.
Chuy Madrigal is a new face to the COLISEUM. This Norcal ripper claims both coasts now as he has been accepted into the radical rabble rousing right winged wonder squad that COLISEUM team is. For further R&D on this 17-year-old prodigy, check out the COLISEUM videos available on this site.
Schulyer Ricketts has almost single handedly brought back the bad boy image to skating at a time where doing the right thing is cool. The man with multiple names has been killing it harder than Charles Manson and with similar enthusiasm. He has been getting down to business and leaving all the jokers in the dust with his make it or break it style that has all the kids wanting more! Check his footy over at the Emerica and Hubba websites if you need further confirmation.
DAVE ARMSDEN! You know his name; you’ve heard the legends, now it’s your chance to meet the man…As soon as we find him. Armsden rips and we’re going to put his face on a six-pack of beer so that this missing man-child will be spotted, abducted and then safely returned back to the loving arms of the COLISEUM. Great to have you back bud.
That is all for now and for more COLISEUM headlines keep your ears finely tuned into your local police scanners!
Cheerio!
Erroneous Pratt
