Loaded in the desert

Some really fun session footage in the dessert of Moab. I swear I’ve referenced the old Element Skateboards (I think ) advert of someone skating on the rocks in the desert before, but I can’t find it on S&A anywhere. I can’t even remember who it was. I want to say Danny Way, but that […]

Skateboarding in Portland, all kinds. Watch it. It’s a Billy Bones Selfie. – Thanks to Jordan for the tip.

3D Printed Skateboard

Sam Abbot designed and modeled this skateboard deck. He printed one in three pieces (too big for his printer) and fit it together with a dowel system and some epoxy. He’s the first to admit that it’s not super sturdy. Sure, it’s nothing more than a novelty right now, but there are some things you […]

Astronauts Guide to Life

Skull, skates

Layers of color

I can’t remember why I had this bookmarked, or how I found it, but it must have been for a good reason. Must have been because it looked fun. Lots of cool banks.

Cross Training

Two instances of world class athletes using skateboards for cross training purposes. First up is 10k Olympic gold medalist Mo Farah allegedly building balance on a skateboard, though admittedly just an experiment, and more likely just a photo op for the The Oregonian. On the right, Daniel Woods “prepares” for the 2010 Bouldering World Cup […]

Salman Agah: Some Recollections

From the mind and memories of Simon Woodstock: I remember when I first met Salman. It was in 1988 and I was working at Winchester Skateshop in Campbell, CA and he came rolling up one day in a beat up lowered brown Toyota. His driver’s seat was also lowered so all I could see were […]
