Concussion magazine may be back from the dead

I know what you’re all thinking, it’s the boy who cried wolf… but it isn’t really. The reigns of Concussion might end up being turned over to two longtime contributors. Davoud has requested omitting the specifics until the final details have been ironed out, in case the deal goes sour. The story has been leaked […]

Some of us are looking at the stars

Unfortunately, for every morally uplifting tale, there are about five or more human beings who are still just living in the gutter. There was an 80’s English skate rock/hardcore band called the Coolest Retards, these guys after the jump definitely fit half of that bill.

Tampa Pro Webcast

Time was, when there was a big contest coming up you’d learn about it in advance from Thrasher, then have to wait one or two months after the event to read the coverage in the magazines, then another 3-8 months before you could rent the video from from your local skate shop. Remember when skate […]

SOTW: Pierre in France

Well now, that’s not a joke, it’s a legitimate caption. This week’s Shot of the Week is from a photographer who goes by the name of TimoT on Flickr. Old Pierre is hitting a blunt to fakie on a DIY spot somewhere in France. Check out this week’s Shot of the Week.

Rekiem Sakteboards- France: How they are made

French DIY skateboards – Rekiem

It’s no big secret how skateboards are made anymore. Everybody knows that Chinese fairies magic them out from the woodland lairs of ancient dragons, but some people are still making them locally. Here’s a video from a French company called Rekiem. The basics are the same, but everyone does it slightly different. For instance, the […]

When I heard that Portland’s worst kept secret spot was already partially demolished, I assumed it was because there was a general failure to keep it on the down low, but it turns out the larger site is planned for demolition as part of the acquisition and planned expansion by the University of Portland, according […]

Solitary Arts recycles

Just like House of Neil, I have a major issue with people who cut up old skate magazines (or Life, or anything else, really) and try to sell the individual ads out of context. Plundering history for a modest monetary gain is needlessly destructive. Frankly, it pisses me off. Then again, I have been known […]

Side Effects of Urethane – Kiasma

I should have guessed these guys were involved. The wave ramp at the Kiasma museum was another distinctive project from the collective known as The Side Effects of Urethane. This particular exhibit is called Aalto. TSEOU has images ranging from the concept phase right on through construction (time lapse video) and finally skating. One interesting […]

Foldable skateboard art

Before you get your panties in a bunch, this is an art piece, and not something that is in production, unlike this, and let’s not forget about this or this. This one comes from UK artist Chris Jackson.
