Shot of the Week – Page 12

SOTW 8-25-08: Blue in Nova Scotia

This week’s Shot of the Week is Greg Baller at a bowl in Halifax, Nova Scotia as shot by Steve Hayes, AKA “Shayes.” Said Greg, We paint the park regularly because the graffiti is awful here! Right now it is beige/brown, and with a few throw pillows would be quite tasteful. What about some shag […]

SOTW 7-28-08: Burnside Renovation 2003

This week’s Shot of the Week is Burnside under renovation circa 2003. Not much else to say. Check it out.

SOTW 7-21-08: It’s deep. Very deep.

This week’s Shot of the Week features Mark Conahan in a photo that he says he’s embarrassed of, but shouldn’t be. When is two and a half feet below the coping still an admirable feat? When there’s another 8 feet below you and the transition is ridiculously tight. This is the horizontal crop of the […]

SOTW 7-07-08: The uncool pool

This week’s Shot of the Week is the Q-Bert pool in Happy Valley, Oregon that everyone loves to hate. You don’t have to worry about how much it sucks anymore because it is recently deceased. This is Mark Conahan, obviously. If you think this pool is only good for “spending all day trying to get […]

SOTW 6-30-08: Marek Litinski at Burnside

This week’s Shot Of The Week is Marek Litinski at Burnside as shot by his fellow countryman Martin Lucuk. You don’t see a lot of Burnside shots on Skate and Annoy (Yes, yes, it’s because we’re posers…) so why not. Marek’s friend came over from Czechoslovakia the Czech Republic for a Northwest skate session and […]

SOTW 6-23-08: Skate Demo at 1982 Iowa State Fair

SOTW 6-23-08: 1982 Iowa State Fair demo

This week’s Shot of the Week is Lewis “Iowask8er” Brundige skating a demo on a quarterpipe at the 1982 Iowa State Fair. There are so many small things that add up to make this a great shot. There’s the combination of the Van Halen t-shirt and Joan Jett sticker on the bottom of the board […]

Shot of the Week 6-16-08: Ron Allen in Kentucky

I realized I forgot to put up a Shot of the Week, so I decided to continue today’s theme of skateboarders of color. This is Ron Allen back in 1988 at an N.S.A. contest called the Bluegrass Aggression Session, held in an almost empty arena in the city of Louisville, Kentucky. (GBJ was there.) If […]

SOTW 6-09-08: Conahan at Gabriel Park

This week’s Shot of the Week is Mark Conahan at the nearly finished Gabriel Park skatepark. When it actually opens for business pleasure is unknown for sure. There’s still a pour or two and a lot of landscaping to go. The crew was on site yesterday and gave Mark Conahan the opportunity to air off […]

SOTW 6-02-08: Fritz Mead at Attleboro

I can’t believe I’m actually getting this one up in time, but this week’s Shot of the Week also marks the start of the second year of actually updating the shots once a week. Before that there was just the showcase gallery that would sometimes (OK, usually) stay unchanged for over a month. This week’s […]
