ENTRY FRI, APRIL 18, 2003 >> Three words about Yeah Right!: OH MY GOD. >> Koston's last trick that he filmed instead of going to Tampa? So worth it. Thanks for talking him out of going out there, dudes. >>
So I guess the countdown for the Chocolate video begins today... >> The odds are that Mikey didn't wake up alone this morning: RING RING RING. >> Aaron Meza just signed a two year contract with us. The negotiations were long and drawn out, but we finally agreed on a decent salary for the Mez. He'll be bringing you profiles of all of your favorite pro's bathrooms over the next few months. >> Homies ripping the Girl park as you read this: Crankers, Nate Jones, Gino, Huf, Tony T, Michelle Pezel, Rudy Johnson, Mike O'Meally and about 50 other dudes. >> Are you sick of breaking kingpins? Well then here's a new truck that you'll probably want to pre-order a couple sets of. They're only $500 a pair. >> Rick McCrank wants you to check out this site, and click on "SHOCKED SH!T". Oh, and Rick also wants you to check out this one.

>> Once again, I don't care who you are, if you don't have tickets to see Yeah Right! tonight, please don't show up because you're not getting in (that includes you, Francis Coppola). >> Have you ever had to dodge hundreds of phone calls and e-mails from people who didn't quite understand what the words THERE ARE NO MORE TICKETS LEFT meant? Yeah, me neither. >> Remember the contest for free tickets to the Vancouver Yeah Right! premiere? Well, we have a winner! Diane Schimpl sent in this winning answer to the question WHAT IS A BUNNYHUG?: "... otherwise known as a "Hoodie" 'cept it has to have one big pocket in the front." Diane and her hot sister will be attending the premiere up there this Sunday.

>> We've got some bad news for you, folks: the Yeah Right! premiere in LA that we've been hyping... it got cancelled. Just kidding! Woohoo!!! Oh, man... the jokes never stop! >> But on a serious note... hold on a second, we're still laughing... okay... there are NO TICKETS LEFT for the aforementioned premiere. Once again: NO TICKETS LEFT. >> So you're wondering who's going to the other premieres? Here's the Vancouver/Euro lineup of travelers: Rick Howard, Mike Carroll, Eric Koston, Paul Rodriguez, Brandon Biebel and Ty Evans. The US premieres will be attended by Brian Anderson, Jeron Wilson, Sam Smyth and a special guest. >> New Crailtap daily splash pages are coming soon. A new photo or something every single day, no joke. Very soon. Promise. >> Point spread?: RING RING RING. >> Did you know that Richard Mulder talks about shoes a lot? He does. >> Over the next few weeks, we're going to be running a feature where we'll be bringing you helpful tips to make your life more safe, comfortable, and just much better overall.

>> Greg Carroll has informed all Girl employees that they are to be at work bright and early this Friday morning following the Yeah Right! premiere and festivities. So the Tap has decided to play bookie for a day and take bets on what time people are actually going to show up for work at Girl Skateboards on Friday. Here's the betting table: Nick

>> Remember when the Yeah Right! video deadline was so far away that we were doing a countup to the day that we were going to start the countdown? That seems like forever ago, doesn't it? >> Over the past two weeks, how many times do you think we've used the words "tickets", "video", "premier/premiere" and "LA" in same sentence? If you guessed "TOO MANY DAMNED TIMES, BRO" you're absolutely correct. Forgive us, but we can't give you any free tickets for guessing that. >> Captain who?: RING RING RING. >> BACKYARD SETUPS (SEND US YOURS): There's really not much to skate in East Frisselia, New York. These photos (of a pyramid and a flat bank) are the proof. The photos were sent to us by Joshua Harris who says "There is no pavement except the road that we're not allowed to skate on...". Damn! >> That's it for today. We're busy. Sorry.

>> Rick McCrank Day has come and gone this year but if you're in Vancouver you should pick up Antisocial's new "PUT DOWN HATE AND LET'S SKATE" tee anyway. Proceeds from the sales of the tees are going towards a war relief fund. To buy one, call Michelle at Antisocial at 604-708-5678 and tell em Crailtap sent ya. >> Cutting edge: RING RING RING. >> Our distributor up in Canada, Centre, sent Rick and Megan a pair of matching velour track suits today. We thought you might want to know that. >> To everybody who doesn't have tickets to the Yeah Right! premiere in LA this coming Thursday: you won't be able to get in if you don't have a ticket. Even if your name is Rick Howard and you gave your ticket away to your little cousin who's coming down for the event from Sakatchewan, you will be turned away if you don't have a ticket. >> THINGS TO SKATE IN PEOPLE'S YARDS AND BACKYARDS AND STUFF: Jonas Hauert from Switzerland has a seemingly endless supply of photos of fun looking setups to skate. This one is of Marie in France, boardsliding for her goats. How awesome would it be to skate with goats? So awesome. >> QUOTES OF THE DAY: "I don't think I got ran over... at least I don't remember getting ran over" - Jenkins after his second motocross race in as many weeks

>> Got two winners of Yeah Right! premiere tickets for you today... The first winner is of our sexist YEAH MY SISTER'S HOT, BUT SHUT UP! SHE'S MY SISTER, DUDE! contest. Dave Miller won it by sending in this moody black and white snapshot of his simply drop-dead gorgeous sister. And no, he's not giving out her phone number so don't even think about asking. The second winner is for Rick McCrank's not-so-sexist RICKY LIKES JEREME BUT HE ALSO LIKES IT WHEN JEREME GETS SACKED comic contest, and the winner is Michael Wikan, who sent in this entry which he calls "After The Sacking". >> So that's all of the tickets we have to give away to the LA premiere of Yeah Right!. Thanks to everybody who entered the contests and to those who didn't win: don't worry because the video will be out in stores before you can say "Rick McCrank feels like a bag of dicks". >> It's no longer Rick McCrank Day at Tha Tap. We hope he's feeling better soon anyway. >> QUOTE OF THE DAY: "McCrank is a good egg" - Megan

>> Rick McCrank feels that the current YEAH MY SISTER'S HOT, BUT SHUT UP! SHE'S MY SISTER, DUDE! ticket challenge is "Sexist and lame... I'm not feeling it", so thanks to Rick's political correctness, while the HOT SISTER contest is still going on until Sunday (see yesterday's entry for details on entering), we're doing another contest today for tickets to the oh-so-swanky Girl video premiere in Beverly Hills, LA, California. It's called RICKY LIKES JEREME BUT HE ALSO LIKES IT WHEN JEREME GETS SACKED. Here's the rules: Draw a comic of Jereme Rogers getting sacked. Here is a sample of Jereme getting sacked, for reference purposes. Don't draw this one, please come up with an original sacking, then send the comic to us. The best one wins two tickets to the Yeah Right! video premiere in LA this Thursday. CONTEST ENDED APRIL 13. >> Today is Rick McCrank Day at Crailtap. >> Rick McCrank has a nasty cold right now, and when asked how he felt, he replied "I feel like a bag of dicks". Not sure how politically correct that is but, hey, the dude's sick. Give him a break. >> Rick McCrank one-upped Koston on the cover of Transworld this month. >> Rick McCrank's motorcycle is in the shop right now because it's transmission is jacked. He's paying a thousand dollars to get it fixed, and he says it's worth it because he's already put a lot of money into that bike. >> Rick MCrank's skateshop, Antisocial, is working on a video right now that should be done by November. It has also been rumored that Rick McCrank's skateshop will be having a Yeah Right! photo show in their gallery next month. Photos by Spike Jonze, Andy Mueller, Bob Kronbauer and Atiba Jefferson are rumored to be appearing on the walls. >> Rick McCrank was coughing yellow boogers into the toilet today while he was looking through a book by David Shrigley. You can check out some of David's books here. >> Rick McCrank asked us if it was sunny in Los Angeles today. We said "Yes it is". >> There's no RING RING RING entry today, but we'd like to take the liberty of gracing Rick McCrank with the title of today's Honourary Crail Canadian. That's Rick's third crowning. Or is it his fourth? >> Rick McCrank is coming down to LA from Vancouver for the premiere of Yeah Right! this week. >> Our friend Lori D thinks that "He desereves a monumental quote... but all I can think of is that there's nothing not nice to say about Rick McCrank".

>> Pictured above is the best Best Sammich entry we got for yesterday's free Yeah Right! tickets contest... "Beauty in simplicity, post-modern era". Congrats to post-modernist sandwichist, Ian Cochran, who will be attending the swanky LA premiere for the new Girl video with a friend this coming Thursday! This next one might be your last chance to get tickets to the exclusive Yeah Right! video premiere in LA. And due to an overwhelming response to the HOT FOR TEACHER free tickets challenge (go here to view the all new click through gallery of the finalists) today's ticket challenge is called YEAH MY SISTER'S HOT, BUT SHUT UP! SHE'S MY SISTER, DUDE! The rules: Take a photo of your hot sister and make sure that there's a Girl or Chocolate skateboard somewhere in the photo. Then send us that photo. The person with the hottest sister wins two free tickets to the Yeah Right! video premiere in LA. CONTEST ENDED Sunday April 13th @ 4PM. >> Mr Smyth bids the cast of The Real World Las Vegas a not so fond farewell: the final Keepin' It Real Update!

>> Here's a little tip for all of the kids out there entering the Yeah Right! tickets contests: if you send us more than 400 e-mails in one hour, you're going to LOSE and we're going to delete all of your e-mails right away. And here's a bonus tip for the person who did that yesterday: the next time you do that, you might not want to include your home address with all of those 400+ e-mails. >> Did you know that there's going to be more premieres for Yeah Right! than the big one in LA? Check out the new popup window for dates and locations. Click "refresh" on your browser because you probably just closed that annoying window as soon as it popped up. >> Man, we got some royal doozies for the GREG CARROLL'S NEW SLOGAN challenge, and here's the winner: "I came here to do two things: kick ass and chew bubble gum - and I'm all out of bubble gum" Congratulations to Alex Robbins who sent that one in and who is now two Yeah Right! premiere tickets richer. >> Today's ticket challenge is called DUDE, I JUST MADE THE BEST SANDWICH EVER, and here are the rules: Prepare the best sandwich that you possibly can, then place that sandwich on a plate and balance that plate with the sandwich on it on the bottom of a Girl or Chocolate skateboard. Next, take a photo of that sandwich on the plate on the skateboard and send that photo to us. Our favorite sandwich wins two tickets to the LA premiere of the Yeah Right! video. Contest ends Friday April 11th @ 4PM. >> We're also running a ticket challenge on the side called BOB K WON'T ROLL SOLO. Bob is still dateless for the Yeah Right! premiere in LA, so over the next week we're going to be holding a challenge similar to TV's "The Bachelor" where a group of young bachelorettes will be vying for his affections and a chance to be his date for the premiere. Bob's friends Megan and Lori D have done the initial dirty work for him, sifting through the first round of hopefuls, and have narrowed it down to 15 pseudo high class, high maintenance gold diggers... it's just like the TV show! Stay tuned to find out which one Bob ends up with. >> For those of you who thought our pal Arvedis Tock was dead, don't believe the hype! He's alive and well, and he sent us this e-mail today about the Girl video: "I
just talked with one of the people who's been working very hard on "Yeah
Right" and he was very excited. He said that the movie is going to freak
people out. The skating, the skits and the other secret stuff is unbelievable,
and this guy is SUPER critical. He said it'll probably go beyond skateboarding.
I was so excited I had to tell you. I'm flying in for the premiere.
See you there. >> Here are a couple of photos that Miki Vuckovich shot here yesterday while Jenkins and Jeff Tremaine were being interviewed by Mr Wing Ko for that ON Video thing. Wow, that's a lot of names in one paragraph. The ON guys have been shooting video interviews for days for this article. >> We just caught wind of a Skate Mental web site update coming in the next week, complete with an online store where you can buy the goods. Rick Howard is the newest team rider and Stefan Janoski's got a signature frisbee with instructional DVD coming out soon. We'll let you know when the new site goes up. "If

>> Well, we got a bunch of photos of people's messy rooms in response to the I'M A DAMNED FILTHY SLOB challenge for free video premiere tickets. Nothing too shocking, mostly just your standard messy rooms that were no worse than some of the offices here at Crail HQ. We were beginning to lose hope that we were going to receive an entry from a real life slob when Andrew Kiamco stepped up at the last minute and sent us these appalling photos along with the following e-mail: "I don't have enough time to clean the house when I'm watching Chomp On This, skating, or trying to win Yeah Right! premiere tickets!" Okay dude, the tickets are yours. Now get your priorities straight and clean your house for god's sake. I can't begin to stress the importance of getting that place up to code. That ain't healthy. >> Today's ticket challenge is called GREG CARROLL'S NEW SLOGAN. Allow me to explain: Today, Greg is wearing a t-shirt that says "3 CAN KEEP A SECRET IF 2 ARE DEAD" on the back of it. If you think you can come up with a better slogan for a t-shirt that you think Greg would wear, and you want two free tickets to the L.A. Yeah Right! video premiere next Thursday, please send us your slogan right now. CONTEST ENDED Thursday April 10th @ 4PM. >> "Just post it": RING RING RING. >> The good folks from ON Video were here today conducting a couple of interviews for an upcoming feature about a classic video that Tito was holla'in about a little while back. We'll let you know about the video one of these days when we get more info, but for now we have to be all cryptic n' shit. >> If you were hanging out at the mall (like the Crailstaff has been known to do on many an afternoon) and you came across a Crailtap store in there, you'd probably go in there even if you were already in there the day before, right? Cool. Now get your ass into the Crailtap store. >> RAMPS AND SKATEABLE OBJECTS IN PEOPLE'S YARDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT (send us yours): Michael
Sieben sent in these
photos of a crazy ramp in San Antonio, Texas. He also sent the
following message for Justin Ogden from Ocean Park, BC, sent us this one of him skating a mini ramp in some dude's garage.
PAST
ENTRY >> Okay, we've been getting a lot of e-mails from people asking where they can buy tickets to the L.A. Yeah Right! video premier. Here's the answer: tickets to the L.A. premier are not available for sale anywhere. It's an invitation-only event at an ultra swanky venue and the only people getting in are the ones that we are giving (or have already given) tickets to. You will not be able to get into the premier in L.A. if you don't have tickets. For info about the premiers in other cities (that are taking place after April 17th), please contact the distributors and shops who are sponsoring them. >>
Speaking of tickets being given away, I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, "Where are the hot teacher photos from yesterday's
HOT FOR TEACHER free Yeah Right!
tickets contest?" Ryan and Matt from Santa Ana sent in these ones of Mrs Vink-Dale and Ms Vink (they're sisters) and a McCrank script board. Ross from Pennsylvania sent in this one of Mrs Cambel with a Chocolate chunk board. Luke Schmidt sent in this one of Ms Watkins with a Paul Rodriguez Wooden OG board. "Jordan Davis" sent this photo of his hot teacher in... but the board she's holding looks suspiciously like the board that somebody's grandmother was holding a couple of days back, so he's been instantly disqualified on the grounds of cheaterism! You already got tickets, dude! Nate Hammock from Colorado sent this one of Ms Price in. Is that an old Girl beetle board? Man, that's a classic. Robert
from South High has more than a couple of hot teachers: Ms
Wimmer, Ms
McCauley and THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF THE HOT
FOR TEACHER CONTEST: >> Okay. So today's ticket challenge is called I AM A DAMNED FILTHY SLOB. Take a photo of your messy-ass bedroom (or kitchen, or living room, or whatever... just not the bathroom) and make sure that there's a Girl or Chocolate skateboard visible in the photo. Then send the photo to us. The filthiest person wins two tickets to the L.A. Yeah Right! premier on April 17th.

Here's Floyd's granny and here's Callan's. Thanks for entering, dudes. You rule and so do your grannies! Today's ticket challenge is called Hot For Teacher and it's reserved for high school students only. HERE'S
THE RULES: I somehow doubt that we're going to get many entries to this challenge, so your chances of winning are probably pretty high if you send one in. >> I got a press release from Sam Smyth today. Does that seem weird? Anyway, it said something about Jereme Rogers winning an am contest out in Phoenix this past weekend and it said something else about this kid named Justin Eldridge who is a "Chocolate newcomer". Lastly, it said something about Biebel and Paul Rodriguez going along for the ride and "putting it to the streets" of AZ. >> Did you see the interview with Daniel Castillo on the Strength site yet?

The sender didn't included their name, but only their e-mail address which was WyldStallyon@[censored].com. Also brilliant. Today's ticket challenge is a race! The first person to send us a crisp one hundred dollar bill wins! Just kidding. The real contest is the My Granny Loves Me contest, and here's the scoop: The first person to send us a photo of their grandmother holding a Girl skateboard while sitting in front of a computer browsing Crailtap.com wins two tickets to the L.A. premier of the new Girl video on April 17th. This has to be a photo of your real grandmother sitting in front of a real computer holding a real Girl board while really browsing Crailtap, not some fake photoshopped granny, okay? And this IS a real contest. If you're the first person to send us a photo of your grandma doing the above, you win the tickets. Simple, right? >> "It makes my job a lot more fun when people get mad": RING RING RING. >> Rick Howard's mom sent us this link and apologized in advance to all of the cat lovers out there. >> BACKYARD RAMPS N' SETUPS UPDATE (SEND US YOURS): This photo is of Girl Skateboards' salesman extraordinaire, Shea Johnson, blasting off of a launch ramp out in front of his house in Torrance a couple o' years back. >> Have you ever called a place that has an automated phone system and the friendly voice gives you a list of options and then it tells you that you can end the call by hanging up? It's really nice that they give you that option. >> If you would like to continue to browse Crailtap, please click on any of the links on this page. If you would like to leave Crailtap, please close your browser now. >> The only music news we have for you today is that Ryan Gee has been hanging out with that DJ, Goldie. And that airtime photo yesterday actual was taken by the Real Ryan Gee. >> QUOTES OF THE DAY: "I'm callin BS on #10! It's my friend Shawn, not Ian Rogers.

from the Command HQ This is clearly the work of "The Man" "They" are out to stop us from exercising our freedom to skate wherever, whenever.

>> Today's ticket challenge for two free passes to the L.A. Yeah Right! video premier is the Hollaaaa For Biebel contest and it's a lot less challenging than yesterday's challenge: All you've got to do is give us a caption for this photo of Biebel (and make sure that it's not "HOLLA!" or "YEAH RIGHT!"). Our favorite caption's author wins two tickets. CONTEST ENDED Friday, April 4th at 3PM. Okay, okay... he's saying "YEAH RIGHT!" but send us an alternate caption, okay? Oh yeah, and we've chosen a winner for yesterday's free ticket challenge. Turns out that Mr. Paul Hastings had some insider trading info because he was at the same skatecamp that Ty was and he sent us this answer to the name these pros question. He got em all except for Mike Carroll, who we know is in there somewhere, but we're just not exactly sure where. We do know that Ty Evans is fifth from the left though, in the front with the red bandana, but who is Ian Rogers? >> Some days we spell premiere "premiere" and other days we spell it "premier", depending on how Canadian we're feeling. >> Speaking of Canadians, learn more about April Wine in today's installment of RING RING RING. >> Are you in need of some clip art of a righteous dude tappin' a crail? >> BACKYARD RAMPS N' SETUPS UPDATE (SEND US YOURS): Ryan Gee sent us this shot of his friend, Chef Razzolo, getting some serious air time off of a launch ramp located in front of somebody's house in Wayne, New Jersey. It's not confirmed whether or not the Ryan Gee who sent us this photo is the Real Ryan Gee, so look for this photograph in the pages of TWS next month for confirmation. Or not. This 3 foot high by 8 foot wide mini ramp is located on the second story of some dude named Kyle's barn in New Hampshire. >> Hmmm. Looks as though the Radiohead link we supplied you with yesterday doesn't contain the final version of the new album, but an early stages version of it that some swine stole. So not only are you a sh!tpile for downloading it, and not only are we sh!tpiles for telling you where to download it (after downloading it ourselves), but there's some person out there who's an even bigger sh!tpile than you and us put together. Just make sure to buy the album when it comes out and your karma'll be fine. Here's more info. >> Do you ever read the music articles in skateboarding magazines? Me neither!

>> Starting today, Crailtap will be giving away 2 free tickets to the LA Yeah Right! premiere every single day! Trivia and other contests of wit and skill will determine the winners. Today's ticket challenge is kinda tough, but it should be pretty fun: [NOTE: THIS CONTEST IS OVER!] Okay, so Girl Skateboards' videographer, Ty Evans, attended the Visalia Skatecamp way back in the summer of 1986, as did a bunch of skaters who are now pros (and a couple dudes who used to be pro). Here's a photo from the session. The person who can spot and name the most pros in the photo and send the list to us wins two free tickets to the Yeah Right! video premiere in LA on the 17th of this month. Today's contest ends Thursday, April 3, 2003 at 3PM, so hurry up and enter, dude! >>
The Crailshop
free tickets contest has come to a close, and here's the list of lucky
winners who will be receiving a pair of tickets in the mail within the
next few days: >> Got another backyard ramp/setup photo submitted today (send us yours). This one used to belong to the aforementioned Ty Evans, and it was 16 feet wide with 16 feet of flat, 8 ft transitions, 2 feet of vert, with a 3 foot wide channel and PVC coping. It was all plywood, no masonite, and by the time he tore it down it had 7 layers on it. We're not sure how long it was around for but judging by that one dude's shorts, we're guessing that it's life span lasted from nineteen eighty something until nineteen eighty something. >> Turtle Dove or Owl Parrot?: RING RING RING. >>
This has nothing to do with skateboarding, but it doesn't break any
