Jeff Grosso interview on Concrete Disciples

Grosso Interview on C.D.

I forgot who sent me this, but there’s a really good interview with Jeff Grosso on Concrete Disciples that includes lots of recent (rad) photos like the one above from MRZ. In keeping with the recent photos, the interview doesn’t rehash any of the old stories or his battles with addiction, it’s all about the […]

Let’s film a music video in a pool, again.

An unnamed Domino Records band wants to shoot a music video in an empty pool in the L.A. area. They say it will take a good day of shooting, so it sounds like it will need to be a permission pool. I told the rep that it sounded like a lazy scam to find an […]

Sanke run skatepark in Het Hulsbeek, Oldenzaal, Netherlands

Oldenzaal Snake Run

There’s an old 70’s snakerun park in the Het Hulsbeek recreation park located in Oldenzaal, Netherlands. For the past handful of years they’ve been holding an annual contest series there called “Oerend Hard” that looks like it’s more of a weekend festival of skateboarding and fun than a strict contest. Events typically include a standard […]

Jason Lee Airwalk Promo from 1995

Check out this 1995 Airwalk Shoes video featuring Jason Lee. There’s a lot of filler, but he skateboarding eventually kicks in. This was probably used for trade shows and the like. You can see some of Jason Lee’s early character work here. Who shot this?

Jeremy Fish is Superfishal

I spotted this Bones parody shirt by Jeremy Fish at the Umbrella Market. Parodies of old skate logos are a dime a dozen, but I like this one. Bonus footage of a real life fish skateboard after the jump, thanks to a tip from reader Dylan.

But the shark bites are brutal

Don’t worry, these guys didn’t send me anything, I’ve always been a fan of the Slasher graphic. I’m pretty sure that some smaller companies have already done the sword shaped skateboard, but for Santa Cruz it seems like an obvious choice. I’m actually more surprised that this board doesn’t have Keith Meek’s name on it […]

SOTW 4-13-09: Neil Blender, Vancouver 1985

This week’s Shot of the Week comes from Greg Baller, who was actually in a Shot of the Week last year. Greg was a partner in Burly Caps, a company that made… burly recaps for knee pads during the late 80’s and early 90’s. Burly Caps are back again, and the web site has a […]
