Europe – Page 6 – Skate and Annoy

Yugo Mail

It may actually take decades to respond to reader mail, a Jim Gray can attest. I recently found an envelope from the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, mailed to Skate and Annoy sometime in 1988, only to be fully examined in an entirely different millennium. Do I regret not reading this letter from Darko […]

SOTW 12-2-13: Downhill to Vietnam

Although it may look like Kentucky, Ken Henning, took these pictures at the zoo (Tiergarten) in Nuremberg, Germany in 1968. Pictured are American GIs from California enjoying a downhill session.

Europe’s largest vert ramp?

I’ve never seen a concrete park with asphalt on the top deck. The photographer (and possible anime villain) is named Zoltan […]

Lays ups the ante

Lays Deep Ridge potato chips has a commercial running in the Netherlands featuring an ant dropping into some spud vert, attempting some sort of body varial (it’s hard to see exactly what’s going on) and then bailing with a parachute à la Bob Burnquist in the Grand Canyon. (Should that be “à le” for a […]

Skate:bird

Recycled skateboards used to make a birdhouse. Add a truck and you’ve got a bird feeder. Skate and Aviary. Check out Skate:bîrd, by Florian Dohrmann. See also: Facebook. I like the bird house. Maybe I’ll make one this weekend. [Source: Skateboard Mag on Tumblr via Selekkt] – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.
