Saturday on Sunday

This is a photo of Jeremy Davis taken by Richie McCorkle. The real reason for this is to point to a video of an event that Saturday Skateboards in Charlotte, NC recently had, called the Saturday on Sunday party. They’ve got an indoor skatepark with some great art on the walls. The party had live […]

Oversized Rob Dyrdek

Rob dyrdek has an obsession with world records. He’s been goofing around with an oversized skateboard for his MTV show Fantasy Factory. At first I thought this was the same board we featured here back in 2007. In fact, it almost looks smaller than the ones the Michigan enginerds built. The guys who built said […]

SOTW 3-23-09: Hagen Pool, Germany

This week’s Shot of the Week is from Peter Diepes over at OMSA. It’s a shot of Txus Dominguez with a one footed carve at the Hagen bowl in Germany, and yes, it’s a make. You can catch it on video over at EuropeSkate. Txus Dominguez has been accused of trying to turn Spain into […]

Rocky and Bullwinkle in a Cheerios advert

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

In high school I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle. I still do, but I used wake up on school days an hour earlier than I had to, just so I could watch reruns of a cartoon that was already almost 20 years old. The show ran in various formats on network TV from 1959-1973, even though […]

Jason Dill on Sheckler, skate blogs

I bought the April 2009 issue of Transworld so I could check out the Black Label “Skate and Annoy” advert. I was reading a pretty interesting interview with Jason Dill. One question asked if he felt weird about being on the same footwear team as Sheckler, and how could he possibly relate. Dill’s reply was […]

Everyone seems to think this is the Gurnee, Illinois skatepark, but I think it technically belongs to Warren Township, which is adjacent to Gurnee, home of Six Flags Great America and the lovely accompanying ditch. What’s the scoop on this park? Keep reading.

Tampa Pro footy

In case you missed the live webcast, Fuel Tv has some Tampa Pro footage online. You’ll have to download their special vidoe player, but it’s a thoroughly painless process. It’s a slick player, supposed to be hiccup free (wasn’t for me..) but I don’t understand why they go through the trouble to roll their own. […]

Venture innovated

What’s wit these companies that start with “V?” After posting about the first ever symmetrical board that was made by Vision, I came across this post on Vert is Dead about the evolution of the new truck hole pattern. Ocean Howell may have been the first guy to drill his own baseplates, and Venture was […]

SkateCultura of Brasil

SKATECULTURA is from Brazil, and it documents vintage skateboarding through multiple decades, from a Brazilian perspective. There’s also a little of the current scene sprinkled in there, with an emphasis on Brasil’s most famous skateboarding export, Bob Burnquist. It looks like there was a slew Brazilian skate magazines at one time, some of them looked […]
