Snow Day
It doesn’t snow very often in Portland Oregon. When it does, it rarely sticks on the ground or amounts to much of anything. When we get a snow day we like to maximize it by calling in to work “Oh.. it’s too slippery. I can’t possibly make it in to work today” and then piling […]
Love, acceptance, and time traveling gay robots on the half pipe
Love and Acceptance on the Half Pipe: Sexy Skateboarding Ads Attack Discrimination is the title of the Gaysports.com (Who knew?) article about the MTV’s gay skateboarder anti-discrimination commercial that appears to have been written by a time traveling robot. The article, not the commercial. I’m not exactly sure why they wrote the article, because it’s […]
Moto-crossover
Sure, you’re extreme, but are you Extreme!™? When you’re ready to get really amped to the max, you can kick it up a notch with the Limited Edition Travis Pastrana Skateboard. Or perhaps you’re just looking to update your eBay investment portfolio? Supercrossking.com says it’s collectable. Skateboarding seems like about the only Gold Medal Travis […]
Our one-wheeled brothers
No, this guy isn’t crying because he rides rollerblades. He’s a practitioner of extreme unicycling. I’ve seen pics of the odd unicycle guy at a skate park, but I’ve never witnessed one in person. These guys have a DVD coming out titled “Under No Influence,” and they claim anything done on a skateboard can be […]
X-treme-mas!
Merry X-treme-mas! Ho, ho, haaar! Here’s a wrap up of skateboard Christmas ornaments. Sorry Jews, Muslims, Mormans, Rastafarians, Pastafarians, Pan-Africans, etc… Nothing against you. Praise Jeebus and give thanks to Batman.
Tony Hawk makes you puke!
If you are already figuratively sick of Tony Hawk, this summer you can be literally sick of him on Tony Hawk’s Big Spin. At first I thought this picture of Tony inverted in the rendering above was just for illustration purposes, but when you watch the virtual ride through you’ll see there really is a […]
Burnquist doesn’t have sh@!#t!
No. You are not seeing things. Bob Burnquist supposedly has the largest ramp, but it may not be as tall as this giant skateboard-looking contraption on roller coaster tracks. It’s supposed to be a snowboard, actually, but it sure looks more like a skateboard if you ask me. This ride opened in 2004 as near […]
Dead Wrestlers
Anybody that knows me knows that I’m a total wrestling mark. Actually, I’m a smart mark, so that makes me a smark. Anyway, you’re probably reading this wondering why is he writing about wrestling on a skateboard site? Well why not? I started this zine with Randy 20 years ago, and what made S&A unique […]
Mega Ramps for mere mortals.
One good backyard mega-ramp deserves another smaller, hopefully less expensive one. Mini Mega Ramp or Mini Mega Ramp? Makes no difference as I poached this from Antigravity Press, who poached it from Old School Skateboarding.
