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
Gliderboard
The Gliderboard from Axtion Systems is both improved and lower priced, which means we somehow missed the first coming of this crazy tuck. It’s pretty much the same thing as a Z-roller truck with the addition of the grinding groove, as made famous by Gullwing. But hey, what about those funnel shaped wheels? The glider board is engineered(?) to keep you locked onto the coping, but not grinding it.
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.
