The Guinness Book of World Records recently uploaded old footage from a 1996 record for the longest handstand. It’s pretty boring video except for the strangely riveting footage of the rollerblader on the support team, practically caressing the guy as he rolls down the road. So the longest handstand? I don’t know. It needs an asterisk. It should be “Longest Handstand with Gravity Assist.” I mean, common, we’ve got standards to uphold. Waiting to hear from the Handstand Man on this one. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip

This tip came to me with the subject line “Some Nerd,” which pretty much sums it up. Microsoft’s iPad contender called Surface actually looks pretty cool. Someone at Microsoft mounted trucks to it, at which point I’ll take the opportunity to point out that it’s already been done on an iPad. A Microsoft executive actually took it for a spin though.

Dezeen has photos of some skateable industrial architecture painted up pretty and chopped up a little and presented as an art installation. The bank looks fun, but the installation looks really intriguing actually. Rotor is the collective culprit in Belgium. – MC is an art phag.

The incident began before 9 p.m., when about 1,500 skaters and skate fans showed up to a theater that only holds 600 people to watch a free premiere of the skateboard movie, “Bake and Destroy.” At least NBC News knew what was going on. One site said it was 300 “protestors” who were mostly skateboarders, except they couldn’t say what they were protesting. That’s the left wing media for ya man, I’m voting for Reagan. – Tanks [sic.] to Evil Tom for the tip.

Bones Brigade coverage in the October issue of Rolling Stone. Maybe it’s November, magazines always seem to come a month ahead of schedule. Adele is on the cover. That’s a new photo of an old photo, both by Bryce Kanights.

This is one of those crappy little cinch-style backpacks sold at the online equivalent of one of those stores at the mall that’s filled with 100% character goods, Hello Kitty and the like. I think Donald Duck is going to eat it. Bonus shot of Mickey Mouse in a full on stinkbug style frontside air after the jump.

Market research has determined that Europeans, when eating junk food, want to be reminded of extreme!™ sports and the United States of America. And hence, Cheetos Spinners as spotted in Holland, with Chester Cheetah hitting a stair set somewhere in Seattle. Chester has aged well. – Thanks to Matthijs for the photos.

I have evolved, but I still get around. Here’s a true exchange I had about this recent eBay purchase: Friend: How the hell are you going to listen to an 8-track?ME: It’s OK, I have it on vinyl too.Friend: Your wife must hate you.

Thin Dots are little stickers for your Home button on your iOS device. They have a skateboard series. Noticeably absent, SKATE AND ANNOY! Seriously, Mentality skateboards? Never heard of them. I’m sure they haven’t heard of us either.
