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.

Spiderman airwalk

…and I could never be a veteran.

Weird/old/crappy/cool skateboard of the month this time is courtesy of Andy Cvar, who bought it off German eBay a while back. It may not seem like much up front, but hit the jump to see why this board made me snort my Miesterbrau out of my nose with involuntary laughter. If you’re not a P.E. […]
