Arabella is either really fond of that skateboard or this is a scene from a remake of Ghost with Ray Barbee in the Patrick Swayze roll. It’s from the folks at Front magazine who have appeared here before, and in fact seem to have a skateboard fetish in general. A random click on Melissa’s Sexy Roadtrip turned up some Santa Cruz product placement. Actually, there’s skateboards littering that whole website/magazine. Warning – External links NSFW.

Vintage Annalee doll: adorable girl wearing pink on a skateboard. Dated 1992. This is from the days when Annalee Thorndike dolls had hand painted one of a kind faces. Has been displayed in a cabinet since it was new so is in great condition. I will never have enough time or money to collect every hideous skateboard toy out there. At least it’s not Fofao.

If you learned to rotate 90 degrees a year it would only take you eight years to master a 720, which works out fine for eight year old Evan Doherty. The video description says he landed the 720 on “vert” but he’s clearly way down by the seam on the transition. I’m clearly just kidding… This puts things like thefirst “street” backflip into perspective. This eight year old probably lives in Calif… what’s that? Oh yeah? Kansas… I wonder how long he’ll stick with it. Video after the jump.

I called my congressman and he said, quote “I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote.” The subskate is a completely pointless toy that all kids will fight desperately for if they come to your house to play in a puddle of water and you only have one. I bought one of the first Subskates, something like five years ago, meaning to photograph it and return it, but then somehow I had a kid in the meantime and he discovered it and then it was his. It’s piece of hard foam and you’re supposed to play with it in a pool and pretend it’s a skateboard, because, you know, you’d ruin a real skateboard if you played with it in a pool. Mind you, I know grown men who have played with brand new skateboard decks in a pool, so maybe this is a good idea.

Opening bid on the skateboard and shoes with built in socks for a 70’s era Charlie’s Angels doll is $49. That’s for the skateboard and shoes, not the actual doll. That there is the “annoy” in Skate and Annoy, and then some.

This shot of Jeremy Tuffli taken by Garric Ray recently appeared in Skateboarder magazine: I shot the photo of Jeremy on January 2nd and he did the trick in 23 degree weather! I think I spent a couple hours with a weed wacker to clean up the spot so you can see the drop as well. I still trip out that he landed the blunt fakie in the first place. Not sure if you’ve been to the St. Johns quarter pipe under the bridge or not, but you can get really hurt skating that spot if things go wrong. You can check out the Shot of the Week, but I would stay here for enlarge-o-rama so you can see what’s happening. I need to get that incorporated into the SOTW.

This is a photo of the plexiglass cover of the Skate Ball ramp that resided at the Olympic Skateboard Arena in Crystal Lake, Illinois before it met it’s demise at the Rainbo Skatepark in Chicago, Illinois. David Dude was somehow able to rescue this at some point in time, even though he was a Dallas local that skated with the likes of Jeff Phillips, Craig Johnson, Dan Wilkes, Allen Guimond and Art & Steve Godoy. This looks awesome. Don’t forget to enlarge-o-rama.

This is a Grindline park in Laconner, Washington which is about a half an hour south of Bellingham. That’s Ted or possibly Fred on the backside boneless which was in fact a make, according to regular contributor John Aguilar. -Thanks! I saw pictures of a new Grindline park in Atlanta, GA (mainly in the street sections) that looked like it had some elements of a new direction for Grindline. Hard to tell from the tiny pictures though. Any of our Hotlanta readers want to scout it out?

Remember when copy machine art was de rigueur on the skate zine scene? Remember those Yo Gabba Gabba Vans? The Vans outlets seem to have stopped carrying anything in my size, but thankfully the kids shoes are available at generic shoe prices. Two box scans after the jump.
