Skate Harassment – Page 5 – Skate and Annoy

No Upside Down Clip Art

Not much interesting about most no skateboarding signs, except in the case of this one from New Zealand, someone used some vert ramp clip art and turned the image upside down so the skateboard would be on the ground. The giveaway is the negative space where the coping should be. By the looks of the […]

There’s real fake and fake fake

Somewhere in middle America a security guard accosts a skateboarder. Pittsburgh, according to the video. I don’t know where the law stands on security guards confiscating personal property. I predict nothing will come of this though. A reprimand possibly. That’s it. I actually didn’t watch it with the sound on, so I’ll let the peanut […]

FU!

I was at a children’s birthday party (you know, looking for dates) that was outside. I noticed one of the skate stoppers was a little loose, so as I sat there and made polite small talk I just kept wiggling. After I got it home I rummaged through a pile of allen wrenches I had […]

Hard Ticket to Hawaii

Wow. I can’t believe this one flew under my radar for so long, but it was released a mere year after Thrashin’. I’m not sure what this movie is about, but it’s got two Playboy Playmates and a skateboarding goon (Hey! that’s Russ Howell?1) who meets a spectacular untimely demise. Is it because he’s doing […]

Kathleen sent this one. No seventies banana boards

No skateboarding

Three no skateboarding signs. Kathleen just sent me one and I’ve been hoarding the others.

More than one S.O.B. in Baltimore

Looks like the civil lawsuit against the Baltimore cop who has anger management issues when it comes to skateboarders (and RC car enthusiasts…) has been tossed out of court again. I thought the damages they were seeking were ridiculous, but I still think this guy doesn’t serve or protect the best interests of the citizens […]
