Last summer.

ANOTHER SUMMER, ANOTHER TORTUROUS TWO WEEKS OF King of the Road action. Although some lamented the loss of Zero who, we repeat, retired of their own accord), the spooky dudes in black were all but forgotten once the packets were torn open and the clock started ticking. Still some pressing questions: Did the Zoo crew really put a New York City hit on Foundation? Were female nollie flips denied, claiming Zoo alliance? Did Shuriken get in touch with his inner cowboy?

Also, was Phelps on the Black Label team? If so, why did he hit one of his "teammates" in the head with an apple? Will Blind return in '08, or was two weeks all that Weiss could stomach? And why was their route so much longer than everyone else's? Is a Kasper comeback now on the horizon? Kasperholics? Holla? And what of Daniel Haney's spring break gear and attitude? Is life after a pro career really all pina coladas and Girls Gone Wild? Will the DVD (KOTR, not GGW) come out before Christmas? The answer to these questions and more is a hearty "maybe."

In the wake of KOTR, Mystery Guest Kristian Svitak has signed a shoe deal with NSS, while Blind's James Craig lent his name to the Power brand. That was 'cause of KOTR, right?

With Don Nguyen off the Duff's squad, has his career fallen off or is Fallen the next move?

Over in rumortown, Deathwish is either (A) the new spin-off company of Baker, (B) the nickname of Powell am Derek Elmendorf, (C) the name of Powell's new video, or (D) all of the above. Somebody better sort this shit out.
