This week’s installment of Dutch hipster pop music is brought to you thanks to Matthijs, who claims he isn’t into this sort of thing, but then how else would he have found it? At least I’m spelling his name right this time. As for Jeebus, all I have to say is Faberyayo, Zomer Aan De Wand, and I don’t know what that means.

Barack Obama is back for second term rebate, so you’re getting a rebate of his best fake skateboarding moments.

My first ever 10-minute crack at making an animated gif. Nicely done sir.

Woodsy Owl was/is the mascot of the US Forest Service. He had his own comic book from 1973-1976. Here he is getting down with some 8 wheeled action in issue #4 from 1973. There are no other skateboard stores inn this issue. [Source: Retrogasm]

Hawaiian Punch iron on transfer. The seller says it appears to be from the 80’s but that doesn’t look like 80’s era iron transfer technology to me. I’m thinking closer to mid to late 90’s. UPDATE: Added pics of an 80’s era Hawaiian Punch skateboard. UPDATED UPDATE: This board came up in discussion in the S&A Facebook group and coming back to this 2012 era post with 2012 era low res graphics was embarrassing. Added some better pics of the board from a 2021 auction. And because it was Josh Baker that brought it, up an image search also turned up his 2013 post of the t-shirt transfer that has much better pics.

I’ve featured Deckstool way back in 2008, but they’ve added new designs since then, and it’s worth it because how often do you get to use “#2” and “Stool” in the same post title? I’m pretty sure this is not how they envisioned their publicity opportunity.

Taking time off from their many pursuits like discriminating against homosexuals and covering up sexual abuse, the Boy Scouts of America have helpful tips for fixing slow skateboards. As a former Eagle Scout (Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout!) I am seriously considering my options.

Swear to Glob I saw these before somewhere but I can’t place it now. These Wheel Shields are supposed to prevent wheelbite and, I don’t know, mud splatters on you new kicks? These are pre-release photos. No web page and gasp, no Kickstarter either! Just a lowly old Facebook page. Update. There is a web site, but with a different name. Marketing message needs focus guys! – Thanks to Seth Levy for the tip.

Who’s tripping down the streets of the city Smiling at everybody she sees Who’s reaching out to capture a moment Everyone knows it’s Windy Damnit! I thought it was Wendy. Vintage Knitting Pattern Child’s Skateboard Motif Sweater, from the UK.

The Justice Man on a skatebaord hasa [sic] amazing “non-fall” action. Go forward and turn right automatically as soon as he comes to an “edge”. Super Bat. Non-Fall Action. Awesome eBay action. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip. (It’s his day today.)
