Slam City Tea Mug

slamcityskatesmugDrinking tea will never be underestimated in the United Kingdom. Our nation craves the leaves, worships them and drinks over 165 million cups of the stuff and each year. Lovenskate started making mugs last year and since then, the urge to drink from a branded pint sized mug is catching on nicely with SW and now Slam getting the teas on.

Kick your morning off with a new Slam City Skates tea mug today for just £6.50. They have just been released this week and come with logos either side of the handles and are also available in black. Click here to buy one.

In the words of Jake’s Alley– “blog on you mug…”

Jackass star Ryan Dunn killed in car crash

ryan_dunn_jackassTributes from Jackass fans and skateboarders are flooding the internet following the death of Ryan Dunn today. The Jackass star reportedly crashed his black Porsche 911 GT3 just after 2:30am when it veered off the road, flipped railings, and tumbled into woods before erupting in flames. The impact of the crash has been reported to have killed Dunn and a passenger.

Many tributes via twitter and facebook are being posted online tonight including messages from the Dirty Sanchez lads. Lee Dainton tweeted: “sad news, RIP Ryan Dunn… thoughts going out to his family friends and fans around the world…” and partner in crime Matt Pritchard who says, “Terrible news on the death of Ryan Dunn, so sad. Thoughts go out to family friends and @jackassworld crew.”

Reacting to the loss of his good friend, Johnny Knoxville also posted on twitter. “Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy.” Bam Margera is yet to comment on his account although this afternoon his Mum was quoted on local radio station that “it was like losing a son.”

Our thoughts go out to Ryan Dunn’s family and friends. RIP.
