Alyssa Milano and Colin McKay for 1 800 Collect circa 2002, captured on glorious VHS (how barbaric!) and transferred to mini DV. Now it’s on YouTube, the VHS equivalent… Who is the other guy? Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out, I mean how many black vert skaters are out there? Memorable quote: “You could remember that doing a goofy footed double fakie ollie grind.” Also features the obligatory I’m trying something crazy and I’m going to wipe out. Oh well, beats Carrot Top any day.

Cesinha Chaves is passionate about pool skating. You may have seen some of the Cexa Podcasts, and now he’s got a DVD coming out in December called Light, Love & Death. I thought the title was just touchy-feely nonsense until my brain clicked on and I saw the picture of the light, love seat, and death box. At first I thought this was a Brazillian pool skating documentary, but I think it just has some Brazillian guys in it. And of course, you can’t make a pool video with out Slaba. There’s also some Killing Joke in the soundtrack. Hooray! You can view a higher quality 19MB file or watch it on YouTube after the jump. No info on where you can buy it, but I did find this on Brasil Skate.
Update: Now available for sale internationally.

The News Herald reports that Bay County Parks and Recreation Department in Panama City, Florida has an extra $1.5 million or so and is trying to figure out what to do with it. One of their very bright and apparently unsolicited ideas is to build a skatepark. It’s not too often that a skatepark falls from the sky. The locals didn’t have to rally the troops or even get Matthew Lesko involved.
Another webcomic that references skateboarding. I like scooter-brat and mullet-guy in the background. I’m thinking maybe the guy skates? Imagine, wearing costumes to the skatepark for an art project.
Dr Brad wrote a review of the Julien Temple film Strummer: The Future is Unwritten. and proceeded to nag me relentlessly until I got it posted. It got to the point where I was considering not using it out of spite! So here it is, becasue if I don’t take care of this immediately, he may decide not to make his annual written contribution to Skate and Annoy.

This “Shit Skate Gang” video is funny and has high production values, unlike some people. Actually, it reminds me of the Claus Grabke spoof.
The theory is skateboarding has reached its peak. To stand out at your local skatepark you need to carve in a whole new direction. Join Gaylord Gaylord, Mudstain Thompson, and Lancelot Jenkins in the next biggest revolution in skateboarding since the Dogtown boys.
Check it out. Thanks to Joesf for the tip.

I was just pointing out that if you only skate street or if you only skate transition, you are only going to see other skaters who ride the same terrain and believe that the alternative is non-existent. The old fear of the other that they use to manipulate people into hate and war.

Here at Skate and Annoy we like to keep you informed of all the really important skateboarding events. Looks like ABC is going to air He’s a bully Charlie Brown today. You’re a dick if you don’t like Snoopy. Actually, this cartoon is pretty horrible. It’s the last animated Peanuts that Charles Schulz worked on before he died. I wonder who traumatized Charles in his youth so much that he was still trying to come to terms with it as he approached his death bed. There are a couple skateboard scenes in He’s a bully Charlie Brown, most of which you can watch here. Otherwise it’s on at 7:30pm in some markets, so check your local listings.
I went to art school. Best five years of my life… But none of this silliness. No sirree. It was all business. Not like Matt Cheney, action artist. He makes art while doing things like skateboarding and skydiving. He’s even used his skateboard as a brush. Now that’s putting your parents’ tuition money to good use!
