Check out the Unheard Skate Supply indoor facility (formerly known as SE Indoor thing) that I keep forgetting to post pictures of. Why, it’s a session and a Bacon Skateboards video on Saturday, May 19th at 1913 SE Haig street in Portland. Sponsor Luv.

Some people find the retro fetish tipping the scale more towards “annoy” than “skate,” but I’m all for it, just as I like the new plastic banana boards. I’m not sure if boards like this ever actually existed though, that shape looks like a direct copy of 60′s era Nash boards, and while they did have that style trucks with composite wheels, I would had guessed urethane wheels would have first appeared on a little bit of a bigger or wider board. Someone (slightly) older than me should clear this up. In any case, these are really nice looking decks, even though I can’t really get behind a name like Shakastics. However, urethane is for wussies. Part of the reason I like these so much is because I am prototyping a steel wheeled version in my garage right now. And you think I’m joking…
- Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip.

No, it’s not an ad for safety equipment. It’s Don Draper’s worst nightmare, Stayfree Maxi-pads tackles the skateboard set. What a break for this young stuntwoman. The skateboard says 70′s but the fashions are looking a little early 80′s. The seller of this item probably could have gotten a lot more for if they had instead listed the Farah Fawcett Shampoo advert that was on the back. Since Farrah’s Faberge shampoo was launched in 1978, this advert couldn’t have been much later than that.

Sam informed us that the grand opening of the new Dreamland skatepark in Estacada, Oregon is happening on May 19th. Lifeblood team demo, which might include Red himself, seeing as how he recently joined the team. EPM has a sneak preview. GVK has the shortest video ever after the jump.

I didn’t read the article because I was so annoyed with the image. You got your classic “guy in the sky” shot on the second page too. Slightly altered NYTimes online image above. Original screenshot after the turn.
