Pointless Pics – Skate and Annoy

Home improvement

Pool trowels found at my local Lowes home improvement center. I can’t imagine people who build real pools in Portland go to Lowes to buy thier specialized tools. Still, here they are.

Redmond preview

This is a shot of a Salem local named Billy who was visiting the Redmond, Oregon skatepark at the same time we were there over the weekend. Enlarge-o-rama.

Bizarro in camera effects (AKA More trifecta stalling)

I as going through my Trifecta pictures trying to get something together when this one caught my eye. Check out how Mason Huggin’s right foot looks like it’s being severed by his board. I swear to you this is not photoshop trickery, rather the result of some weird flash effect. All I’ve done is adjusted […]

Grind for Life’s Mike Rogers

This is a Micheal Goetz photo of Grind for Life’s founder Mike Rogers at the now defunct X-Games park. Mike gets around man. It seems like he’s at every event. Enlarge-o-rama.

Kona snake run

This is Jeff Stevens hitting the slalom portion of the iconic Kona skatepark. Damn, I wish we had one of those things around here. I know it’s not the most efficient use of concrete, dollar for dollar as far as skateparks go, but it sure looks like a lot of fun. Enlarge-o-rama and bonus. Oh […]

John’s Bowl

Benji Galloway at Johns Bowl. Photo by Colin Walsh Rules suckas! EPM has more shots of John’s bowl. I would have made this a Sponsor Luv post, but then Colin would have had to pay Colin.

Midwest Movement

Check out some more Midwest skateboard action from Ryan Young, the same photog who shot this week’s Shot of the Week. I originally spotted his photos over on the Bacon Skateboards site, and Ryan has been kind enough to share some more. Four photos and one video simply titled “Midwest Movement” after the jump.

Nikon D90 = Less crap to carry around

New cameras aren’t usually something I’d feel compelled to cover unless it somehow impacts skateboarding photography, but there are some extenuating circumstances here. First of all, they are using skateboarding a little in the promo materials, which isn’t a big deal by itself. Nice free advertising for Independent Trucks though… The D90 is two steps […]

Throwing Fitz in Vancouver

Holy cow, it’s street coverage in Skate and Annoy… sort of. It’s still at a skate spot, and it’s still on tranny, but so what. Pete Lewis sent in a sequence of Fitz (of Rage!) doing a blunt slide at Tenny Creek, one of Vancouver Washington’s neighborhood skate spots. I’ve been sort of hassling him […]
