DB = "A" OKAY

In the past you may or may not remember the article in the Aggrodiziac news about the departure of BOX magazine. When I discovered this information, I was flooded with emotion to see one of our industries few magazines pass away into an oblivious hole of nothingness. In the heat of the moment, I wrongfully said some things I did not mean which opened up unhealable scars in myself and in some of the individuals who dwell in this fine skate industry. I said some things that I did not mean and I apologize to everyone who reads this. I'M SORRY!!!! If I could turn the clock back, I would. DB has had a major effect on my life (both in my skates and out of them) and it played a large roll in the development of Aggrodiziac. I'm sorry Daily Bread, for the things that I've said, and I sincerely hope that we can put this all behind us..... for the children.

Senate News

Arlo left Senate a while ago. Because of this, the Kill Team has had a lot more control of what happens with production and clothing. The manager of the team is now Kevin Gillan. Aaron Feinberg also left Senate. The Aaron Feiberg wheels will still be on the ST-Aaron Salomon skates because Salomon and Senate closed the deal before Aaron left.

BOX Is Still Goin... But Slowly

Like me, you may have heard that BOX is finished. Or, you could've figured it out yourself, seeing how the July issue came out in early June and there hasn't been an issue since. This is close to the truth, but fortunately, BOX is still goin. Apparently, there will be two printed issues per year.

Therefor this doesn't actually rank in skill, just official placing.

Skate Comp coming up

Yes, that's right the 1st aggrodiziac skate session is comin up next weekend(june 3 2000). It's still at the Kitchener skatepark and all. Unfortunatly due to delayed production we couldn't get any entity t-shirts. When you get there look for either me (Tom) or Luc. I got some white ST9s and he's got a pair of blue Khutis, so just come up and talk to us. It'll start around 1pm and the deadline to get in on it will be till around 2pm. Keep it real.

New Company!

That's right there is a new sheriff in town. We're startin up a new skate clothes company called "ENTITY". It's gonna produce hats, tukes, t-shirts, hoodies and later on, wheels. You'll probably be able to purchase Entity stuff through Boardtopia and other fine skate shops around Guelph. Look for it around the end of May, beginning of June. Peace.

Skate Comp Update

Unfortunately we could not secure the insurence for an official skate competition. The good news is we are instead going to have a skate session where everyone tosses in $5 and the skater that pulls the best trick gets all of the money plus an Entity t-shirt. The format will be best trick where you just go and skate for like an hour or two while the judges watch. You can use anything at the skate park for your trick. Hope you show up,(it's still at the Kitchener skate park).Peace

Skate Competition In Kitchener

That's right boys and girls, Aggrodiziac is going to be holding the first annual Aggrodiziac Skate Jam. It will be held down at Kitchtener skatepark in Kitchener, Ontario sometime near the end of June. There will either be novice and intermediate(we can't afford a pro purse)classes or 5-15, 16-24 class events. First prize in intermediate/16-24 class will probably be a voucher for a new pair of skates, but we don't know what kind yet. It will feature the musical stylins of Dj Dex, and Bio 9 along with any other music that you (the contestants) will request. It will cost $5 to enter. If you need directions click here. This comp isn't a definate yet but we should know by the end of march break. I'll keep you posted.

Arlo Leaves Senate!

In case you haven't heard, Arlo Eisenburg has left Senate. Back in 1993, when Arlo and four others started Senate, they were passionate about their work. They did everything: t-shirt designs, grind plate packaging, wheel shipments, they recruited a team and much more; but as the company grew, Arlo couldn't maintain his vision: to make rollerblading the greatest sport in the world.
"Because I've spent so much time and energy on Senate, people think that's my big project, my big vision..." says Arlo, " My big project has always been rollerblading- the magazines, the videos; all those things are a part of it. I've tryed to really influence and contribute in all those areas and with the actual skating and trick vocabulary and the image, the way skating looked. I'm very deliberate about all those things." But by 1998, it was obvious that between the companies, the magazine, the videos and the competitions, Arlo was nearing exhaustion, "...I was always working towards something. And all of a sudden, there was no future. I didn't know what I was working toward... We saw bad times coming at Senate..."
At the end of 1998, Arlo quit Super Computer Robot and fired the old Senate team. Then he started a program that would put Senate back at the head of the rollerblading dynasty. Senate grew more focused and efficient, and put together a new team that reflected a new philosophy of global destruction. Unfortunately, this program later destroyed Arlo's personal life. "...I was going through personal changes, and with that came personal termoil," says Arlo, "where the anger and resentment turned inward. I became the institution I had to rebel against." I hear that all the pressure got to him which made him quit Senate, but I haven't seen, read, or heard about any interview in which Arlo tells exactly why he left.
