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
Upcycled Price Gouging
We jokingly predicted it over a decade ago. As it usually happens, I go looking for one thing and find another. What’s the going rate for worn out decks meant to be up cycled into jewelry, furniture, assorted appliance handles, phone cases and the like? Apparently it’s $19-$33 a deck, depending on where you shop on Etsy. At this price point it’s cheaper to buy crappy Chinese blanks and skip the part where they get skated. Of course, that skirts the whole saving the environment bit…
Dept Store Catalog Gallery
I added a category for Department Store Catalogs to the Skate and Annoy galleries. Right now there’s only 10 catalogs spanning 19964-1966. The biggest reason is (my OCD) I took it upon myself to also ad images of the skateboards found in those ads, which turned out to be quite time consuming. I plan on continuing this through the 70’s, but as soon as they get impossible to identify I’ll probably stop adding the real life photos. Check out Department Store Catalogs.
