Sports Utility Furniture - 360 skateboard truck table

More Skate Furniture – Three Sixty table

This is the Three Sixty table from Sports Utility Furniture in Germany. Right now its for sale in at The Future Perfect in NYC, for an unknown price. I’ll bet it’s spendy. It had better be, because the rest of their current designs are very weak. I’m not a huge fan of gratuitous skateboard parts in furniture beacause it usually looks very forced, but in this case I kind of like it. Hopefully the glass is heavy enough to keep you from taking an old Chevy Chase prat fall if you put a hand down on it. I imagine you wouldn’t want to use too good of a bearing in those wheels. I wonder what their durometer is? Independent trucks too, that’s a nice touch. [Source: AGP design notes]

Cheetos Crunchy with skateboard on package

Cheesy Marketing

I don’t eat Cheetos so I never payed any attention to these bags until my son grabbed one off a rack a the sub shop today, and it had Chester Cheetah getting rad. More pics for those with obsessive compulsive disorder (like me) after the jump.

Capri Slims Commercial

A Commercial a Day – Day 9: Capri Slims

I’m a little confused on this commercial for Capri Slims from 1995. We don’t allow cigarette commercials on TV in the U.S., but I don’t know what’s the norm in Canada. Lisa Whitaker was the stunt double for this commercial and she posted it. I contacted her for more info but it’s been over a week with no word yet. This commercial follows the typical “creative person amidst a sea of stuffed shirts finds an unusual way to take care of business.” Actually, it’s almost exactly like a Mentos commercial, except Capri Slims aren’t exactly a freshmaker. There’s nothing hotter than a barefoot career woman reeking of polyester, pantyhose, and cigarette smoke. Watch the commercial after the jump.

Audi TT car as skateboard commercial

A Commercial a Day – Day 8: Audi TT (Car as Skateboard Part 3)

I get the whole deal with German engineering and all, but all I get from this commercial for the Audi TT is a sterile computer animation vibe. I barely noticed this when I saw it on TV. Catch the commercial and links to the other “Car as skateboard” posts after the jump.

laser etched skateboards

Laser Etched Skateboards (coming to a mall kiosk near you?)

Seven is an art exhibition of laser etched skateboards. Refill Magazine is the show’s sponsor. Their press states it’s a new technology but the Laser etching process predates pospsicle shaped skateboards. Right now the web site is mostly coming soon and only has a handful of examples. Since you have to sit through an animation and they don’t stand still for long, we’ve pulled a few off in static form after the jump. Legendary skateboard artist Jim Phillips is the only industry affiliated person on the contributors list so far. [Source: Freshness]

Reporter eats it on a skateboard

Switch Wilson or Fakie Wilson?

You be the judge. Watch this reporter take a hard slam on a skateboard while interviewing a BMX guy for the Dew Tour. Perhaps she should have gotten skateboard advice from a skateboarder instead. This happened on a local Portland newscast and somehow we got scooped. Catch this video without annoying aftermarket sound effects or Ebaums’ World screen tattoo after the jump.

Pierre Andre Yop Commercial

A Commercial a Day – Day 6: Pierre Andre Yop Commercial

Yesterday we did Australia, so today we’re in Europe with Pierre Andre, the other, other freestyler. This is a commercial for a French yogurt drink called Yop. If it were English, it would have been appropriate to call it Fop, considering the fashion and demeanor of freestyle in the 80’s. The highlight of this commercial is the Primo slide, Primo being the other, other, other freestyler. More Pierre Andre love after the jump.

Sun Herald

A Commercial a Day – Day 5: Sun Herald

Short, sweet, and to the point. This is a commercial for the Sun Herald newspaper. Which one? Well, it’s not the one in Mississippi or Florida, so that leaves the one in Australia. Heck of a nice backside 180 ollie. Catch the commercial after the jump.

LA WEEKLY SKATEBOARD COMMERCIAL

A Commercial a Day – Day 4: LA Weekly Pool Skating

Here’s a short commercial for the free paper LA Weekly. LA Weekly is giving a nod to skateboarding culture without resorting to the easy way out with Extremeâ„¢ stereotypes. That’s what you’d expect with a “hip” paper. Appears to be shot on super 8 and looks authentic. Hmm… I wonder who made this. Sound familiar? Watch the video after the jump.
