Pointless Pics – Page 11 – Skate and Annoy

Avoid the holiday rush

Even though that hotel sign doesn’t say “pool,” there’s still good skating to be had. We decided to check out the new Woodland Washington skatepark on Saturday because we hadn’t been there, and we thought it was such a nice day that Pier PArk would have been crowded. We weren’t the only ones with that […]

By request

Someone requested more pictures ofÂ oldÂ dudes splashin’ in bowls. So here is Grover inverted while Gordo carves under him. Not the best of timing but better than nothing.

Volcano Errupts at Boston City Hospital

This spot has to be a mega-bust, if not skate-proofed by now. Boston City Hospital circa ’88. I spent about a week there ( in the city, not the hospital ) while on a road trip. It was a bust then but you could still get a session if you were smart about it. I […]

Sky hooks? Who needs ’em?

I was going to make this kid the annoying kid of the month, but I dug his attitude and homemade board with an 80’s fish shape and no kicktail whatsoever. Completely flat. He rolled into the mouse hole and rode around doing those weird turning airs that come with the skyhooks territory, except he had […]

Some indoor park in SLC

This pic is from a SLC skatepark called Real Ride. I don’t know if it’s still open because this was taken way back in 2002 when I was part of the work crew building a vert ramp for the Olympic Village. You can see a larger full frame version after the jump.

Skate Forest, Skate.

Late March of 2005. This cat’s name is Forest. See, with a name like Forest, you’re a “cat,” not a “dude.” This was taken on March 31st of 2005, and the park was nearly empty. Supernatural lighting is courtesy of the setting winter sun and a flash. See the whole thing after the jump.

Benihanas rule.

In the same month that grover learned to do these flyout benihanas at Newberg a couple of years ago, not one, but two major skateboarding magazines made fun of them in print. I believe it was Transworld and Thrasher. I used to have them saved but by now the pile has grown so large, it […]

Skate Paris, learn to work a camera first please.

Let’s see, maybe 1992 doing the backpack tour through parts of Europe and I took this horribly exposed slide under the Eiffel Tower or La Tour Eiffel as they like to call it in country. In Paris (duh!) we lucked out in arriving at a rare time when the pools underneath the tower were drained, […]
