Bugs, errors, glitches… Expect all of this and more as we roll out a new site design in bits and pieces as it is evolving, instead of completing it all at once like a sane person would.
Skate and Annoy: Daily
Oceanside’s Skateboard History in Osider
The July/August issue of Osider Magazine has a nice eight page feature on the history and legacy of skateboarding in Oceanside California. The cover features a 1985 photo of Mark Gonzales from the vaults of J. Grant Britain. Osider is one of those local lifestyle mags funded by ads from local business. It’s a fluff piece typical of these types of publications, but the photos are good and there’s even a Steve Rocco sighting. You can read the entire issue online.
Bodyslam #1-4 added to Zine Gallery
I added the first 4 issues of Bodyslam to the zine gallery, which makes the collection complete. These issues are from retouched scans of the original pasteups used to photocopy the zine. Issue 3 was a crazy one. It had a screen printed cover and some color copies mixed in with the black and white pages. Bodyslam was (and is) mad by friend and former contributor to Skate and Annoy Mark Conahan, who probably would have thought I was soft had we met back then. Mark offers a perfect-bound compendium of reformatted Bodyslam reprints, or you can download high quality scans of the original here.
