Miraculous Fundraiser

The Searc for the Miraculous is, believe it or not, a skate video. I’ve seen some of his work (Strongest of the Strange) a long time ago, and what I remember about it was just stoke, so I’m not sure what to expect from this hour long skate video. It’s showing at the Clinton Street […]

Nils Inne recycles too

We’ve seen a lot of the same items tat Nils Inne makes out of recycled skateboards done before, like slingshots, sandals, but here’s at least one new one, a steadicam mount. Nils’ unique and consistent style makes his works stand out. Check it out L’atelier de Nils. [Source: Sk8.net]

GQ Italia

Buddy Carr Skateboards are featured in the October issue of Italian GQ. I have to say I really like the design aesthetic over there, which Buddy art directs and Antonio Carusone executes. – Thanks to Michael Brooke for the tip.

Carhartt and Phil Zwijsen

In the US, Carhartt means overalls and heavy work jackets. For some reason in Europe it menas skateboarding. Here’s a commercial featuring Carhatt team rider Phil Zwijsen who hails from Antwerp, belgium but has been seen stateside as well. – Thanks to Ryan Mann for the tip.

Skateboard, Uh ah ah.

Die Skateboard-Welle war schon eine Weile in Deutschland angekommen, als man dem Thema einen deutschen Song gab. In the 70’s there was a German teeny bopper who had some sort of hit song called Skateboard, Uh ah ah. At some point recently he tried to mount a comeback which involved rereleasing the song with new, […]

Jeans West

Here’s an old 70’s commercial for a company called Jeans West. I couldn’t find any information about Jeans West, other than a current company in Australia. I’m not sure they are related. I did find this on Skatecuriosidade that said it was an Italian company and the commercial dates back to 1977. And speaking of […]

Static action

I was going mention this video was highly derivative of the Far East Network video segment billiards, but sources claim this Cliché (skateboards) video came out way back in 2004. It’s the human turntable effect. Well done. – Thanks to Sarib for the tip.

The Abominable Dr Sportlife Vibes

Sportlife Vibes is not the name of an adult film, but rather some European, possibly Dutch gum and or mint. There’s a TV commercial and a web site. I have no idea what they are saying. Maybe Sportlife Phibes is the name of the unfinished Dr Phibes sequel. All hail Vincent Price. UPDATE: English version […]

New Bailgun and Born Ugly

Two B-zines on the A-list. Born Ugly hits issue 7. Iove this zine/scene. too much metal for my personal tastes but the fun is so pervasive that I’m ready to roll with it, if not Rawk and Roll with it. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the globe, Bailgun hits issue #11, and it’s a […]
