Where’s Chin?
Jon Horner illustrated a Where’s Waldo style poster that came free with issue of Sidewalk magazine. You can see it here, and it pretty cool, although I’m not sure if it’s the whole thing or not. Powell ought to hire him to do a whole book. – Thanks to Simon Mrozinski for the tip
Saturday Starrs #12: Tom Sims
Saturday Starrs! It’s been a while, becuase Scott Starr keeps getting kicked off of Youtube, and I forget to search him out again. I found this by accident, a TV clip from 1976 with Tom Sims and tow Sims riders named Steve Monohan and Edie Robertson. Edie does a nice gorilla grip, by the way. I don’t recall ever seeing a female gorilla grip practitioner before. No word of what TV show this is from, probably to keep it from getting pulled. Maybe Scott will let us know. Check it out after the jump.
Ex – X Games park
It may not be portable, reusable,or around anymore, but it looks fun. 50-50.com has a gallery of the park and a few action shots too.
50 greatest skate logos?
Fifty seems like too many, because a lot of them are just random sticker graphics and not really logos. It really needs to be tightened up. That’s my professional opinion that has nothing to do with the fact that they lifted at least three of the images from the S&A sticker archives without credit. Come on Don, it’s not that complex!
Cerebral Ballzy
Check out this music music video that looks like it was shot on VHS and mimics a few 80’s skate videos you may have seen. It includes Lance Mountain, Christian Hosoi, Salba, and Mike McGill. Good stuff. I love Adult Swim, but I’m not sure why they have music videos, it seems like they might actually be producing them. I’m sure it’s a job like any other, but it’s got to be a fulfilling creative environment to work in. – Thanks to Nathaalia for the tip.
Arvada, Colorado already in progress
It’s been nine months since I posted the preliminary plans for this regional park in Arvada, Colorado and now we’ve got some snake run construction photos courtesy of Team Pain.
All the skate nieuws that’s fit to print
Donald Duck Club, Dutch edition. It says copyright 2011 but it looks like it was reproduced on a copy machine made in 1984. See the whole thing after the jump, for all our Dutch readers, if there are any besides frequent contributor Matthijs.
SOTW 8-15-11: Casey Morrow
This week’s shot of the week is a Dabe Alan picture of Casey Morrow taken in NW Portland. After a day of pretty successful skating and shooting, we decided to head back to our respective homes. We happened to stop at a light next to a building that was being completely reworked and spotted this ridiculous ramp entrance that had not yet had a railing added. Figuring we only had a few days before the spot was ruined, Casey decided to brave the caution tape and hit the gap. Bigger version over at Flickr, or the regular anemic version over at the fabulously updated Shot of the Week.
Fecta
From Oregon Trifecta to Bifecta, and this year just plain old “Fecta” or Fecta and a half depending on how many peopel show up at Tobin’s house today. Dudes showed up yesterday at Pier Park and got rad, like Sky Siljeg (above) and Kevin Kowalski, but that’s all the photos you’ll get out of me. I missed most of it. Rich was there, you should see his pictures of Ffej from the Dew Tour.
