Shot of the Week – Page 8 – Skate and Annoy

Shot of the Week 6-22-09: Downhill bomb

This week’s Shot of the Week is Casey Morrow bombing a hill in the Dalles, Oregon, on something called the Skyline. Holy cow, it’s a guy on an extended wheelbase skateboard doing downhill on Skate and Annoy. Guess what haters, it’s all SKATEBOARDING! This is a cropped version of Carl Warren’s original photo. Check out […]

SOTW 6-15-09: Kowalski first over the face in Coos Bay

Kevin Kowalski made it over the face wall of the brand new Coos Bay skatepark last Saturday. It was his first time at the park, and this was his second attempt. His new, more aerodynamic haircut must have helped get the extra speed, because he was “booking” as they say, or at least used to […]

SOTW 6-8-09: Barefoot night sessions

John Drummond sent in this beat up scan: I’ve been meaning to send you this picture. I thought you might consider it a “Shot of the week”. It’s a little grainy and scratched. It’s my buddy Chris Lowe in 1988 doing an Andrecht. This was kind of a common thing for him to do after […]

SOTW 6-01-09: Metals in Boston

Well after last week’s fiasco, I dug up this shot from when I went on a road trip to Boston back in ’88 or ’89. I can’t remember. This shot is an enlargement from one I took at a spot called Metals. I don’t remember the skater’s name, but he was just one of the […]

SOTW 5-25-09: Parking garage pricks

I almost forgot to do a Shot of the Week, so I pulled this one out. This is street skating circa 1989, and part of that scene was being a dick to pedestrians and cars… This shot involved the fake ollies (layback ollies?) where you skate up to something and put your hand on it […]

SOTW 5-18-09: San Clemente

I know this is a long shot, but has anyone heard the rumor that people are skating in the pools of homes that are in foreclosure? This is a close up of a shot of Broken Magazine editor Nick Gates taken in San Clemente, California, as shot by Peanut. Issue #9 of Broken is available […]

SOTW 5-11-09: Stacey Gibo at Wallos

This shot came from the Royal Hawaiian Pool Service web site. The official title is Wallos – pre “Animal Chin” hype. This shot of Stacey Gibo dates back to 1985. Stacey was a local “skate punk legend, he later went on to work at Thrasher and Dogtown… …Probably the most fearless and feared skater from […]

SOTW 5-04-09: Conahan and Colin

Yeah, I’ve over-posted about this dead pool, but this the last one, I promise. I was saving this for a shot of the week because the head of a certain skateboard company is lurking in the window behind the action. You might even say he’s hamming it up. Mark Conahan, Happy Valley Oregon, Spring of […]

SOTW 4-20-09: Andy Goncher in Atlanta GA

This week’s Shot of the Week is a Jeffery Beard shot of Andy Goncher taken in Atlanta, Georgia in March of this year. That’s right, streetskating you mofos! Fakie to kickflip. Kickflip to fakie. Check out the Shot of the Week.
