Heat Transfers Still Suck

It’s just my opinion. That’s all. Skateboards should be screen printed directly is all I am saying. If you are waiting for your Black Label Emergency boards to ship, you shouldnt be waiting much longer. They ran into a problem with the transfer papers which caused a lag on getting them printed. They are supposed […]

Black Market Clash?

Ahhh… Errr… Hmmmm… This isn’t really a new item but it’s just starting to be publicized more. Man, I love the Clash, and you should too. I don’t know where I stand on these new Clash shoes from Globe. Regardless of how you feel about hearing Clash songs in adverts from Levis and Jaguar, they […]

Powell clothing available at. . . . Nordstroms????

I quote from the press release: “In the 80’s there was no bigger skateboard company than Powell Peralta. . . . One of the key factors to Powell’s dominance as a skateboard powerhouse were the ground-breaking graphics. Using extremely dark and detailed hand drawn image of skulls, snakes and dragons, PP was the first skate/street […]

Skull PD’s Turns 30. Designs a Shoe

Skull Skates is not the exact same thing as PD’s Hot shop, but they are close enough. So Canada’s longest running skate shop turns 30, which is quite a milestone considering most skate shops last three years at best. These guys have made it to 30, and for 28 of those years Skull Skates has […]

From the Powell Fall 2006 catalog

Yup, new reissues from Powell. As normal they are all over the place. Sometimes they get it right (the Frankie Hill Bulldog for example, which looks awesome), but did we really need another Gelfand reissue, especially in ghetto camo? And the choice of a reissued Jay Smith snubnose is just bizarre. Good luck selling more […]

New Emergency decks

There’s some new stuff out from Emergency: the old school side of Black Label. Of particular note is the Lucero X2 graphic on an “old school” shape. Also, take note of the Blood Spots wheels that people seem to dig (after the jump).

Skate Shark Attack

Do not adjust your TV sets. This is not an eBay report. This is a new graphic er, uhm, appropriation of the old Nash graphic circa 1960…? Of course it’s totally self serving, but not quite for sale yet so there’s no point in linking. No matter who made it.

Countdown to GSD?

What is this countdown to GSD on the new Foundation web site? Is it some sort of cryptic announcement about the inventor of the boneless one? (Yes, the correct name actually has two words..) Can anyone shed some light?

Hans Moleman’s “Football To The Groin”

While we’re on the subject of video slams I might as well post this one for you which comes courtesy of Foundation Skateboards newly redesigned web site. Foundation has been at this web thing for 10 years now, and they are proud of it. The vid has a lot of Internet famous footage of wacky […]
