Say it loud

I’m late and I’m proud. We missed Black History month, but this board is a good excuse to wrap up some loose links I was trying to figure out what to do with. It’s a limited edition skateboard collaboration between WRG Magazine and Series Skateboards. The crossword answers are all black skaters. I can say […]

As a gardener I am devastated.

Some skateboarders rallying support for a skatepark bond measure (Measure D) in Los Gatos, California had a bit of creative inspiration when the fashioned “Yes on D” signs out of broken skateboards and took to the streets to stump. this picture is from the Los Gatos Observer. Other skaters in Los Gatos experienced a little […]

Corrupting the youth

A lot of kids are scared of bowls. Judi Oyama shared a quick note on some lessons she helped organize for local kids at the Santa Cruz Skate Park. (Judi goes with the official two word spelling of skate park, making me break with every other time “skatepark” has appeared on this site. How do […]

LC snake benefit tee at EPM

Rich at Earth Patrol Media had the idea to do a benefit tee for the Lincoln City Skatepark snake run. Unfortunately he asked Conahan to do some artwork for it and that can take a while. Rich is offering them for $12 through his Earth Patrol website. Proceeds to benefit Lincoln City skatepark. We’re still […]

Baltimore: Art, rock and skateable style

In fact, they seemed very surprised, and somewhat dismayed, that the “advanced” (in years, if not ability) skaters and […]

Lincoln City snake run

If you were thinking about donating a little something for the LC snakerun project now would be a good time, We’re going to shut it off in the next couple of days. $5, $10? Every little bit helps. Thanks to the folks who have donated already. Click the donate graphic on the Skaters for Portland […]

“Hope. Hope.” just like Dick Ritchie says

No that’s not a still from the first Bones brigade video, it’s 20 years later and Lance is hitting that spot for Elwood clothing’s 1st and Hope video, which came out some time last year I believe. Has anyone seen this? It looked like a good concept for a video, instead of the usual scattergun […]

When are Uganda finish that video?

Yeah it’s the same joke I used the last time I talked about the Uganda Skateboard Union about a year ago. It looks like they have a new blog running, and one of the best things on it, aside from all the helping humanity and everything, is the preview for the video documentary. The preview […]
