SOTW 3-2-09: São Paulo, Brazil

This week’s Shot of the Week comes from Brazil via reader Nathaa Nobile. It’s a Rodrigo Vianna photo of “Sujo” at a spot in Praça Roosevelt (or Roosevelt Garden) in São Paulo, Brazil. You can check out the Flickr streams from Wheels on fire and Daigo Oliva for more action from this crew. I chose this one […]

Free interpretations and unstructured activities

Continuing the trend where I raid the archives of Dezeen Magazine, this is the Port of Tel Aviv public space by the architecture firm Mayslits Kassif. Their hope is that the rolling surface will act as “a reflection of the mythological dunes on which the port was built and as an open invitation to free […]

Japanese architects design skateable house

Skateable Japanese houses

I was checking out the shots of this house contemplating whether or not to post it, until I saw the entry way gate that sealed the deal. It kind of puts this guy to shame. I found this one over on the Dezeen Magazine web site. The house in Karuizawa, Japan is called Shell, and […]

Mexican street style

I don’t know what you call this kind of riding, half-ditch? Who cares, it’s rad. This is a closeup of a shot of John John Aguilar skating a ditch type situation in Mexico City, circa 1989.

Now if only he was six inches tall […]

Anybody see a No Skateboarding sign?

This is a temporary installation in Vienna. More at Dezeen.

SOTW 1-5-08: More Sign In bowl.

After seeing himself in last week’s shot of the week, Runaway insisted that we at least use a good shot. That wasn’t a dig a Peter Dietsches’ photo skills, Keith was just being self deprecating. In order to detract attention from his corn rows, Keith furnished two great shots of TSOL member Ron Emory at […]

Roof to roof

Pointless Pics. This is Gabe Stoltz transferring from roof to roof. Does that count as street skating? I just noticed he’s got two different pant legs. Click to enlarge.

Err… What the??

I lifted this from Earthwing Skateboards where they have a larger version and no information other than this is a guy named Adam Auger, who apparently rides for Rayne. That’s the Montreal Olympic Stadium. There are lots of shots eslewhwere, but this is the only shot I’ve seen of it from this angle. It almost […]
