L.A. Skate FIlm Festival deadline approaching

Two weeks left to get your video finished up and submitted to the Los Angeles Skate FIlm Festival. Hammer Surf had one here in Portland what seems like five years ago. I don’t think they ever dod a second one. The festival organizers seem to be in it for the long haul. They even created something called The Academy of Skateboard Filmmakers, which would seem laughable were it not for some of the names on the board which include Stacy Peralta, CR Stecyk III, J. Grant Brittain, Greg Hunt, Ed Templeton, Ricky Bedenbaugh, Bryce Kanights, Jamie Thomas, Mike Manzoori, Fred “French Fred” Mortagne and Ty Evans. Sure, I don’t know who some of those guys are, but overall it seems like very credible choices. June 9, 2010 is the deadline. Details on the official web site.

A momentary loss of muscular coordination

I had a lapse of judgement, I made some bids I couldn’t back up. Like that time in 8th grade when I almost got stuck paying $60 for a cake at that Boy Scout charity bake auction. These Skatewings are freakish and rare. Just try finding one with a Google image search. Brewce Martin owns one. I was upset at first, but then I realized that eBay bidder Member Id: o***b must be a fan of the site and intend to send it to me as payment for countless hours wiled away reading Skate and Annoy, right? RIGHT!

Double your fun

While I applaud the simulation of the wide angle lens, (The artist is really in touch with skateboarding!) I feel the need to suggest that Jesus could use a bottle of Nair, or maybe he shouldn’t have shaved his legs in the first place. Hand-holding at the skatepark? I’m ambivalent. Guy curious? [Souce: Pleated-Jeans] – Thanks to Ben Reese for the tip.

A new low.

If you thought using fake skateboards to make shelfs that look like real skateboards was a silly idea then you’re really going to love the fake skateboard “wall art” that costs almost as much as a real skateboard. This one is made out of hollow plastic and has a built in mounting bracket. Spotted at a Target store by Reader Gavin Graham.

SOTW 5-24-10: Sicily

This week’s Shot of the Week is from Helmut at Surfside-Boardshop in Palermo, Italy. His friend Alessandro wrote: In Sicily the guys have discovered a huge estate seized to an arrested mafia boss, the fact is that this estate has got something in between a ditch and a pool, and they step in there to skate it, i find this very rad, the action is not out of danger, it could actually always come some affiliates to get them under stress, or maybe no, this nobody knows, the cool thing is that the place is quite hidden so is not easy to find… It’s vaguely reminiscent of the Tea Bowls. Check out the Shot of the Week then see some extras after the jump.

Wilson!

I can’t beleive there hasn’t been a skate rock song called “Wilson” before this new JFA tune on DC Jam records. I mean, House of Neil and I were in a skate rock band called McWIlson for the love of Hosoi, and we didn’t even think to write it. Watch the vid after the jump. Read the the Brian Brannon interview on S&A.

What can you make out of two crappy dots?

The secret word is “do.” Season 5, epsiode 9. I’ve owned this for 4 years and I finally got around to watching this episode. I’ve got my kids trained to tell me anytime there’s a skateboard on TV. “Daddy, Daddy! There’s a skateboard on TV!” Usually it’s a Sketchers commercial. There’s another episode in season one where Pee Wee briefly pulls out a plastic skateboard and says something like “Oh! A skateboard! Ha ha!” Of course my kids managed to crack that that DVD. This episode caught me by surprise. I saw Pee Wee back on David Letterman (?) a while back. I hear they are talking about making another movie. Pee Wee’s Playhouse was the shiznit.
