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
Killer Smile By Hot Lunch
Doug Avery made a music video for Hot Lunch‘s song Killer Smile in the style of 90’s videos games with a nod to the 720 and Skate or Die video games, plus a handful of easter egg references to the Bones Brigade Video show, and 70’s wheels brand UFO. It’s really well done, right down to the time appropriate aspect ratio. It’s sure to make you want to skate, play video games or rock out. Maybe even buy a motorcycle…. (Hey Wes!)
Skate Rider V6 – 1979
I added a measly 9 ads from Volume 6 of Skate Rider magazine. That’s all the ads there were. You see the other half (more like 65%) of the magazine is upside down and is called Wave Rider. I did not include the surfing ads in this issue, unless they appear in the skateboarding side of the magazine. Skate Rider / Wave Rider was based in Coccoa Beach Florida, and as such concentrated more on the east coast side of things, although they weren’t afraid to cover west coast or international sessions, be it skateboarding or surfing. Craig Snyder of The Secret History of the Ollie was on staff at Skate Rider. Check out Skate Rider v 6 in the Vintage Skateboard Magazine Ad Gallery.
