A while back I stumbled across some videos from these two jokers Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski, also known as Adam2. When I say jokers I mean that in a good way. These two clowns (again, in a good way) have made some interesting videos that often time border on the severely goofy. Lett’s face […]

Madrid: Cadillac Wheels 52mm 92a Durometer Cadillac Wheels were the first production urethane skateboard wheels in 1973. Frank Nasworthy is credited with bringing the urethane wheel to skateboarding, almost as if he invented them. The history books (and films) are not very clear on how these wheels differed, if at all, from the preexisting urethane […]

Rollin’ Through The Decades is a documentary on UK skateboarding from the 70’s through present days. The 2000’s have been the decade of the skateboard documentary mostly due to the influence of Fruit of the Vine and of course the ubiquitous Dogtown and the Z-boys. Since then we’ve seen documentaries on pool skating, Duane Peters, […]

Love it or hate it, there can be no denying the legacy of the Search for Animal Chin. Some kids thought it was the best, while a lot of crews thought the skating was rad but the storyline and acting stunk up your VCR like last year’s Rectors. A few years back Powell rush released […]

Uh yeah. We’re not above reviewing old videos on VHS apparently. We’re also not above lifting the pictures of the VHS box off of Outlook Skates web site. There is a special edition DVD of Yeah Right! available, which I imagine is like the VHS, only special. So if you like the VHS copy, it’s […]

There was a time when a new set of wheels had a certain aura about them. It might have something to do with the fact that there used to be a wider variety of styles and colors available. For the most part, wheels have continued to go the route of the popsicle stick, becoming more […]

Here’s a product with a name that says exactly what it does. My guess its that the Original Twister was named with an eye for available web site domains rather than the need to differentiate itself from competitors. As far as I know, there are no other contraptions available for straightening out warped boards. The […]

From Syndrome comes the Phantom Mini Tool. Since the days of the original Elephant Key, which was pretty crappy, skaters have wanted a decent portable skate tool. The Phantom is a rare original design for an old tool. The Phantom Mini Tool isn’t exactly the answer, but it’s still better than an Elephant Key. Basically […]
