Sponsor Love: Weirdo Skateboards

Rolling out some love for new SnA sponsors. If you are paying attention, Weirdo Skateboards, a Norcal based independent skateboard company will be joining the ranks of our banner advertisers soon. Here’s a shot of the company owner Tom Augusta at the San Jose skatepark. I believe BK is the photog? (UPDATE: Yes, he is.) Bonus shot that was just “too weird” for me, after the jump.

  1. Thom Agusta is rad! Those guys rule the early sessions at the bay area parks. Amazing musician too.

  2. Props to Tom. I’ve known him since the OG Milpitas skatepark days (1978-81), and I think he’s been “weird” in a good way his whole life.

  3. that thimble is tight gnarly and only the best can ride it (read:not me)

  4. Cool concept.

  5. Yes, that’s a photo that I took of Tom during a visit to SJ’s Lake Cunningham park over the holidays. Fun in theory, but the thimble design is much hard to skate than a regular cradle.

    Tom ruled it though (as a local should!) and we spent the afternoon skating all other sections of the park. The lengthy full pipe section is worth the visit alone.

    And as Livmo mentioned , I too have known Tom since those youthful salad days at the Milpitas park. As I remember Tom rocked a customized checker board flyaway helmet and Motobuilt trucks back then.

    Skateboarding is like family.
