Celebrate Summer with T Rex

It’s a funny coincidence that I was listening to the Trilobites I Can’t Wait For The Summer To End when I got the email tip about this song. “Summer’s not a bummer. It’s a stunner, and it’s now.” Sure, Marc Bolan was not known for the depth of his lyrics, but rather for being the […]

Skate to the Top with Paragon Salad

Lewis Brundige aka Iowask8er sent in this video that is half music vid, half skate vid, and err… another half home movie. The band is Paragon Salad, and the song is called Skate to the Top. I’m not into metal, so in that respect I’m a little out of step with most of the musical […]

Sneakers & Lace

Skateboardin’ USA was released in 1978 by a “band” called Sneakers & Lace. My guess is that it was just some producer’s project designed to cash in on a fad. Instead of just doing a single, they really ran with it. Where are the skateboard novelty songs of today? Oh yeah, that’s right. You can […]

Gumby Adventure Episode 86 – Skateboard Rally

Gumby and his band are performing at a skateboard rally, but before he can get to it the Blockheads steal Gumby’s board (7 minutes). You can watch a short segment here. No blockheads but Yes that is Gumby throwing up the hang loose looping and playing his guitar at the same time. Prickle on Sax, […]

Never Always having to say you’re sorry

Considered passing on this post, but to hell with Enemy Combatant. We all know what “Love” means, or what “Love Is” (the comic strip or the the cartoon character named Courtney?) I dunno. “Thoroughly depressing” is how I would describe the Kurt Cobain action figure and limited edition Kurt Cobain Converse shoes complete with drawings […]

Personal skateboard culture valet

What if you really like a song on your favorite skate video and can’t be bothered to fast forward to the credits at the end of the video to see who it is? Or maybe you only watch pirated videos on YouTube and you can’t read the the tiny pixelated smudges. Maybe you are just […]

Benign, aggro leaches.

You don’t have to be Robin Gibb to recognize that one man’s tragedy is another man’s golden opportunity. It times of natural disaster it is customary wait an undisclosed but appropriately respectful period of time before skating the spoils. But what about financial disaster? Billy Runaway is taking advantage of that housing mortgage crisis that’s […]

I have seen him.

If you’ve ever said to yourself “I wonder what Steve Caballero is up to,” wonder no more. Just go check out his blog Have you seen him? The “him” isn’t capitalized, so I assume it’s a reference to Animal Chin and not the Him. The first real skateboard I ever had was a Steve Caballero […]
