Part of the landscape

Here’s a flyer for something called the Scion Garage Fest that features the Burnside project for an event that has nothing to do with skateboarding as near as I can tell. Burnside = Portland. CHeck out the whole flyer at the Portland Mercury. – Thanks to GN for the tip.

Meanwhile, at the toy store

X Board Illuminators as seen on the shelves at my local Toys-R-Us. These guys get around having to add the extra height by placing the batteries along side the baseplate of the truck instead of underneath. These guys even have a “pro” rider named Doug Brown. Who the hell is Dug Brown? I don’t know, […]

On the bedtable

I’ve been pouring through these two books lately. The first one is the Disposable Skateboard Bible, which is exactly what it says it is. No great surprise how good this one is, considering how well done the first one was, I wasn’t expecting anything other than excellent, and i wasn’t disappointed. Of particular interest is […]

Milking it, Trifecta style

In case you missed it, it’s Skreech at the Trifecta, skating a deck with the nose broken off. I’m not sure how you do that. In any case, don’t feel bad for him, he’s got his own model out on Addikt now. Enlarge-o-rama.

Reader DIY – The cradle will rock

Actually, I don’t think Kevin was a reader until after I profiled his garage minibowl, but I’m claiming it anyway. Check out the build and a video of the bowl in action after the jump. Where’s it at, where’s it at? A small town in Quebec. I’ll let him divulge if he wants.

SOTW 8-31-09: Drop Ditch

Here’s another one from Sk8 D. It’s the Drop ditch in San Antonio, Texas, circa 1998. That’s one hell of a drop. One hell of a drop. Nice job setting up the shot. Check it larger as the Shot of the Week.

Even Oregon theaters are skateable

Backstage spy shot of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival production of All’s Well That Ends Well, as shot by Abraham Hyatt, shortly before he got the boot. It’s in Ashland, Oregon, which also has a skatepark if you aren’t interested in barging the set decorations.

Fake Salba vs Salba

Inset: An amusing fake Salba workout video. Good concept, a little sloppy on the follow through. Larger: Skating the wildfire pools of California with Salba. The first quarter is setup, but they get to the pool eventually. Watch them both after the jump. – Thanks to ColinWalshRules for the tip.
