Update: I can't certify the validity of these documents, but they appear to be legit. This document appears to be a list of campaign strategies that the IASC will be (and has been) using to target skateboarders. This document appears to be an "IASC Communication Brief". Both are in Microsoft Word format. Take them both, and judge for yourself. Thanks to the hundreds of skaters, shop owners, industry folks, and skateboard advocates that have contacted me.

Update 2: I've just had email correspondence with Neftalie Williams from Dwindle. You can read it here (MS Word format) (Last updated at 5:44 Central time on Feb 14).

Update 3: I got word that at least one shop in the list has been contacted by someone in the industry asking how they felt about the "Under Fire" report. Tell them the truth. If you recieved a copy of it and have an opinion one way or the other, tell them how you feel. It's becoming quite obvious that they really don't know how you feel. Give them a clue. By the way, independent shops rule... if anything kills skateboarding, it's going to be mall chains and mailorder.

Update 4: I've been on a million phone calls with a lot of heads now, and I've shared a trillion emails with everybody else (which is more awesome than I can explain). Though it hasn't happened yet, I want to post a warning to any people that may try to manipulate me: any offered bribes will be made public on this site, and I'll do my damndest to embarrass you. Let's keep it real, raw, and simple.

Update 5: I'm pleased to present the Bud Stratford essays.

Update 6: Transworld Skateboarding versus Transworld Business.

Update 7: Download your own copy of Under Fire (pdf).
