The Birth of Skate Punk Culture
Preach! I’d love to credit the source of this image but it’s just being reposted everywhere so I have no idea. Maybe it was Avril Lavigne. Update: Thanks to a certain “knowitall,” the original creator has been identified as Cat from LaterlOser. You can even get your own.
Austin FC, Adidas Skateboarding, and No Comply Go Full Kit Wanker
As part of my continued effort to place Skate and Annoy among the world’s most prominent Skateboarding/MLS crossover sites I present to you this collab between No Comply skateshop and Austin FC. I got beefs. The green looks immature and cheap, especially compared to more pleasing greens with that have a storied history. Second of all, this is essentially a uniform, and you know how much skateboarders love a good uniform…
Super Skate Spray!
Super Skate Spray! While sifting through hard drive buried treasures I rediscovered these pics from a 2018 auction, and remembered Super Skate Spray from the Vintage Skatemag Ad Gallery. It came from the Lubri-Kote company in Texas, circa 1976. There does not appear to be a Lubri-Kote anymore, but there is an international Lubrikote company based in India that was founded in 1975. Are they related? Who knows. Maybe Super Skate Spray was so successful that it launched an international lubricating empire…
Do this drunk!
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has a program aimed at curbing impaired driving called Zero In Wisconsin. Their newest campaign posters can be seen at various rest areas, bus stations, and other locations. These posters feature people engaged in various Extreme!® sports and the tagline “Do this drunk!? That would be Crazy!” At first I was a little bit confused by this, because it almost seems like a suggestion and not a warning. As in, “That WOULD be crazy, let’s try it!” Turns out I’m not the only one. It’s not just a poster, but also a TV commercial, both of which were shot in the bowl at the 4 Seasons skatepark in Milwaukee. – Thanks to Daminal for the tip.
Little Audrey Two For
Little Audrey must have been popular to warrant 2 consecutive titles published in 1967. Playful Little Audrey #70 only features skateboarding on the cover, but Little Audrey and Melvin #33 has a skateboard storyline as well. Melvin looks like a twerp.
New Skateboarding in Comic Books Gallery!
Out of my OCD/ADD is born the glory of the Skateboarding in Comic Books gallery. While staring at the large box of comic books I’ve been scanning in preparation for posts, I started having a hard time remembering which ones I had posted already. I also ended up buying a duplicate of a title that already owned. I needed to fix that. You are welcome. Enjoy.
RebelliouS Kids Scrappy Strawberry
RebelliouS Kids! is the functional thirst quencher that kids allegedly love! In fact, they love it so much that they designed the packaging themselves! It’s got vitamins and electrolytes, but no sugar. There is an obvious missed opportunity to call it Stinkbug Strawberry. – Thanks to MC for the pic.
Show me what you got!
I know you’re thinking $178 is a bit much for a giant Rick and Morty themed wall sticker, even if it is skateboard related and licensed to boot! At about 39″ x 39″ that’s only about 12¢ a square inch! What a bargain!
Historical Inaccuracies in Air
Outrage! I just watched the movie Air, and and enjoyed it quite a bit except for a glaring historical accuracy. No, I’m not talking about combining real-life people into one character for the sake of the plot, nor imagined dialog. Instead, I’m talking about the real important stuff, the skateboarding! The scene happens early (about 14 mins) in the movie, and 40 year old sneaker designer Peter Moore is seen skateboarding in the parking lot of Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. He’s on a somewhat era appropriate skateboard doing kickflips in 1984!
