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.

– Thanks to Eric Cherry and John Egertson for the tip.

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.

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.
