Founded in 1675, Medellin was the headquarters of the Colombian cocaine cartel during the 1980s and early 1990s; Medellin was the world’s leader in distribution of the drug.

Nice.

Now for something we care about: It has been rumoured that David Gonzales (born in Medellin) is to be made pro on Flip Skateboards. Nothing is set in stone as of yet. You will know as soon as we do. Probably when the new vid, ‘Extremely Sorry’ is released… last part for Gonzales???

In other Flip news, Ali Boulala has been given a jail sentence of four years (with a non-parole period of two years) for culpable driving which resulted in the untimely death of Shane Cross.

Drinking and driving is not cool, kids.
