Slovenšcina za Skateboard

Slovenian reader Urban Kravos sent in a link to his web site where among other things like stencil art, he’s got a gallery of his apartment that is a work in progress making sure his girlfriend never asks to move in with him. (Sorry, Urban, couldn’t resist!) Kravos is an architect by trade but has […]

It’s long Deutschland Uber Ollies

Benni Dittrich from Hemer/Germany blasted this crazy Ollie in a session in the Rheinpark Duisburg! The unofficial world record is made by Kris Markovich at the LG World longest Ollie Contest in 2003. Kris ollied 16 Feet and 5 inches. The distance between the stairs Benni ollied is 16 Feet and 5,1 inch (5 Meter) […]

Change of Guard

Juergen Horrwarth’s Change of Guard is a few old vert dogs hanging over a weekend with some up-and-comers in a chance to exchange tips and tricks. Who is Juergen Horrwarth? Well, he’s Juergen Horrwarth, German vert skater. If the triples action in the admittedly blurry screen capture above piques your interest, watch the short video […]

Octopus vs Skulls

So we did skulls in a bowl, which was ridiculous, and that’s probably what prompted Jeff Haynes to send me a link to this video called Octopus. It’s a facelift for a bowl in the skatepark of Lugano, which is in Switzerland. The artist(s) this time is called Nevercrew.

The Carvells and Magnum Bonum sin L.A. Run, AKA Skateboard

The Carvells: Part 2, and Magnum Bonum

In the dark days leading up to the apocalypse of Skate and Annoy’s web meltdown I featured the Carvells video for L.A. Run. Well, of course that led me to do some further investigating on the internet, and by “investigating,” I obviously meant draining my Paypal account by having a record shipped from the U.K.. […]

The mother of all bowls

Apparently this spot showed up in the bizarro Slovenian skate vid I highlighted last week. I missed it, but 26 Feels Old spotted it. Apparently the location is infected by fixies.

Not to scale

Here’s some cool architecture in Croatia that looks like it might be skateable. Even more so if you were 20 stories tall. – Thanks to Sk8 D for the tip. [Source: ArchDaily]

There are other scenes…

There are other scenes… that are so far away physically and mentally from what you are into. But then somehow they seem like a puzzle piece with a weird shape to it that you’ve been missing for years. Maybe this makes sense to Marek, or maybe I’m having an acid flashback. I think I’m going […]
