Movie magic
Check out some behind the scenes footage of Chris Evans on the set of Scott Pilgrim filming a skateboard stunt using a harness to nail a 50-50 on a rail. I know it’s a weak post, but I’ve liked Michael Cera since Arrested Development. Check it out. And since it’s filler, I’m not stopping there. After the jump you can watch a reporter making demonstrating a skatepark etiquette fail.

Skull
At the end old Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode they always had a split second production company tag for Williams Street that consisted of some people yelling “skull” with the reverb turned up and no explanation whatsoever. Beto Janz makes these skulls out of old skateboards, and they look pretty damned cool. It’s a project for Ultraseries Skate in Brazil.

Yo Gabba Gabba on Vans
Yo Gabba Gabba heads have a fondness for skateboarding, and now they have Vans shoes too. They are expensive, but cool. Too bad they don’t make them in adult sizes. ANohter thing sorely missing, the Gabbas all have models, but there’s no DJ Lance Rock shoes! Killer video after the jump.
Win a Weirdo
Man you guys are an impatient bunch. I’m going to figure out how to set up the voting some time this evening hopefully. Until then, keep you shirt on.
Sponsor Luv: S&A welcomes… Welcome
I ‘m stoked to welcome Welcome Skateboards to our list of sponsors. Welcome has an attitude I can relate to, some cool shapes and a graphic called the Princetaur slays me. Find out more about Welcome after the jump.
eBay Watch: September 2010
September was one of those months that although some good stuff went off, it wasn’t as impressive as July or August, so consequently I found it more of a chore to compose. I would do a bit, leave it, planning to come back in an hour, but not touch it again for a week. Some months really flow and some are difficult. Let’s leave it at that. Next month might be even more up in the air because I am going to England for a couple of weeks mid-month, and I don’t plan on taking a laptop, so there’s a chance there won’t be an October BayWatch, and I’ll do a double in December. I haven’t decided yet. Maybe I’ll do a short one. As always, special thanks go out to Kilwag for putting this up on the web, and to Matthijs for his constant emails with links, ensuring nothing slips between the cracks. Somebody emailed me last month suggesting that I add a “Decks for Sale” section that people can contribute to. Maybe I will. I have a couple of decks for sale right now if anybody is interested. A teal stain G&S Steve Claar whales and silver dip Santa Cruz Soren Aaby. Both are NOS, out of shrink. I’m asking $125 shipped for either. Let me know if interested.

SOTW 1-11-10: Sundown in Florida
It’s Shot of the Week time with photographer Ben Warren and Tim Kulas of Goat Ramp fame among other things. And I’m a putz because I lost all the other information pertaining to this photo. Check out the Shot of the Week.
The Gods smile on Burnside’s 20th
It’s supposed to be raining, but it’s a beautiful day. Bands are supposed to start at 1pm. See the Mummy Rat, or with any luck, Jack Grover. Flyer after the jump.
