SOTW 7-28-08: Burnside Renovation 2003

This week’s Shot of the Week is Burnside under renovation circa 2003. Not much else to say. Check it out.

Back to the Future bank

I hate it when I get my skate culture tips from the mainstream media. This is the second one today. Remember the guy who was so into Back to the Future that he fabricated his own movie prop skateboards? Well now he can bid on the real fake hoverboard that was used in Back to […]

The Good Samaritan

In case you hadn’t noticed, there are some public service adverts in rotation on the far right side of the site. These banners are for non-profit groups dedicated to advancing skateboarding in some way or another. if you have a group that you’d like to have include in the rotation free of charge, see the […]

The Hardest Part of Rollerblading

Sure, it’s an old joke and an easy target, but The Hardest Part of Rollerblading from MTV’s The Human Giant is well executed and without malice. Aziz Ansari’s performance makes the clip. Give that man some sort of award. I thought he looked familiar, he also appeared in an epsiode of Flight of the Conchords, […]

Accessorize your lifestyle

Skaters love iPods and Pottery Barn. Now they can listen to their iPods by plugging them into a X Games shelf that looks like a skateboard and has built in speakers. The shelf can be used for magazines or copies of CD’s that they probably didn’t buy in the first place. Did you just get […]

Sigmund and the Seamonsters?

Shoes are an important milestone in our short history as humans. From mobility, protection from the elements and the droppings of dogs. We wouldn’t be where we are without shoes, we owe our shoes for everything. Including the (alleged! – K.Ed) 14 hour work day in sweat shops making Adidas fashion footwear designed by Michael […]

Skate Tattoo collection on BME zine

Three pages of skateboard-related tattoos. BME zine tattoo gallery. Over a year ago Kilwag called for submissions or a SnA tattoo gallery. What ever became of that?

Saturday Starrs #6: Skateboarders From Hell

This edition of Saturday Starrs features Skateboarders from Hell which is a spoof of one of those old biker exploitation movies, although stylistically this is half 1950’s and half early 70’s. I can’t actually tell when this was made. The fashion on some the extras could be late 70’s or early 80’s. It looks like […]

The Kelly Bundy Formula

Not that anyone should be interested in the lives of aging, but once hot television starlets like Christina Applegate. It was in the news recently that her skateboarder boyfriend Lee Grivas has died. In every article I found the news states the same phrase, “26-year-old skateboarder Lee Grivas”. In reality he was an Alaskan fisherman… […]
