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
Son of Skatewing: Heroin Wingee Thingee
Heroin Skateboards reigns supreme when it comes to non-traditional skateboard shapes and sizes, and now they’ve added the Wingee Thingee which has been confirmed as an homage to the legendary Skatewing that is beloved here on Skate and Annoy. Have they flown too close to the sun with this one? Who knows. It’s not even on their web site currently, and 3rd party websites that do have them seem to have copy/pasted a description that is in error: “taking inspiration from an old-school winged metal skateboard and transforming it into a modern curb-crushing machine.” Although there was a plastic version at some point, the OG Skatewing is made from wood. To my knowledge, they never produced a metal version.
Cheapskates v Skate Machine
I hadn’t planned on posting Tyler Skate Machine until I made the mistake of digging into it a little. It turns out the Skate Machine, a toy from Sungold meant to be used with their Galaxy Warriors line of toys is pretty much a ripoff of the Cheapskate from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which makes sense since the Galaxy Warriors were set up to be an off-brand version of Masters of the Universe in the first place.
