LAFC Tifo

I’m what is known as a hater. I hate this club and I hate their supporters group. Here’s a Suicidal Tendencies themed tifo for their 2024 season opener against the Seattle Sounders (who I also hate). All I wanted was a supporters group with some history, but you wouldn’t give it to me… Skate and […]

Hey kids, always recycle… to the extreme! 

The same folks behind the Bones Brigade series of Reaction figures are taking preorders for a Poochie figure, the infamous character on the Simpsons. It’s pretty cool if you know the history of the the character. In fact it’s right up Skate and Annoy’s alley, except for that pesky $55 price tag. How is it […]

Club De Football Est Ennuyeux

This new kit design is just about as boring as the decision to change the name of the Montreal Impact to Club de Foot Montréal. Even the skateboarder in the corner is bored.

The whole shebang, stress tested, strengthened

Hold on to your Rectors, nobody is suggesting this is a viable alternative to contemporary skateboards. It’s just an exercise that proves you could (if you wanted to) design, print and ride skateboard that is entirely 3D printed, with the exception of the mounting hardware, kingpin, and bearings. This is the Modjul 3D Printable Skateboard […]

Skateboard! July 1990

I’ve added 27 adverts from the July, 1990 issue of Skateboard! magazine, published in the U.K.. This is the same publication that started in the 70’s – see Issue #10 from 1978. The issue is kind of thin, coming in at 64 pages. Someone paid for a trip to Brazil and so that’s pretty much […]

Alex Cooper in Cosmopolitan

I saw this in issue in an airport but I didn’t get a chance to flip through it. Alex Cooper is the host of apparently very popular podcast titled Call her Daddy. This is one of the covers from the November 2023 issue, which based on a promo video might also contain some skateboard shots […]

Action Now #1 added to Advert Gallery

The magazine that bummed out a generation of skaters… I’ve added all the adverts from issue #1 of Action Now magazine, labeled as Volume 7, #1 published in August of 1980. It’s a pretty thin issue and only has 30 ads total. In a few issues the magazine gets beefy again, I’ll bet they thought […]

Puberty Skates and other Chinese Crap

You can quickly got down a rabbit hole when you start searching for skateboards on those Chinese import sites. Here’a couple of beauties: A children’s skateboard with the Spanish word for puberty, and some World Industries and Santa Cruz knockoffs. It’s important to remember that brand products are beautiful, flexible in performance, stable in quality, […]

Action Now: Freedom Of Choice – The Film

It’s mid 1980 and the term “music video” had yet to be coined. Meanwhile, Devo had been making films to accompany their music since 1976. The skateboarding industry is slumping, so much so that Skateboarder magazine changes it’s name to “Action Now” to include nascent Extreme!®™sports coverage in an attempt to broaden the appeal and […]
