When he’s not busy skating, Jason Greene makes things out of old skateboards. Yeah, so does your uncle, my neighbor, and my sister’s dog, but I’ve never seen a slingshot made from a skateboard. Tops, maybe, but not a slingshot. Chairs, yes, but made from several and not one small sized for a little future ripper. I wish I would have thought of that one for my kids. Actually, my two year old might still fit on that. Check it out on Etsy.

I think we’ve mentioned a few rocket powered skateboards before, and now we’re giving you the tools to do it yourself. OK, not giving you the tools, you need to buy the book. Aside from skateboards, author Dan Pollino is involved in amateur rocketry with engines on a much powerful scale. He’ll teach you how to make those rockets too, which is good because quite frankly, the engines on the skateboard don’t look nearly as impressive on video as they do in the stills. But then again, who want’s to stand on top of a notoriously unstable explosive? Might as well make it somewhat, uh, safe. – Thanks to Eric Shea for the tip.

As promised, here’s part two of the Sesame Street characters on skateboards. This one from an activity magazine for kids dates back to 1977. Thanks to John Aguilar for the scan. Grover’s non-video korner in detail after the jump.

Just when you think you’ve seen every iteration of skate furniture, along comes something new. Gil Le Bon De Lapointe, the man behind the Skate Study House, produced this chair made from the scraps of the skateboard manufacturing process. It can be yours for $3500, according to the L.A. Times, but they don’t tell you where you can pick it up. [Source: Just Skate] – Thanks to Doug for the tip.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Since his last post, Sean had his laptop stolen and lost a lot of his source files. He likely won’t be posting on DIsposable for a while, which gives me the perfect excuse to back populate with his old posts. Back it up Sean!) In 2002 I was contacted by Aaron Meza to whip out a space-filler article for Skateboarder about the Top 12 board graphics that I wish I’d created. Included on that list were the following: G&S Neil Blender Coffee Break, Zorlac John Gibson Cow Skull (the Pushead version), 101 Natas Kaupas Devil Worship, Santa Cruz Jeff Grosso Toy Box, Blind Guy Mariano Accidental Gun Death, Powell-Peralta Steve Caballero OG Dragon, Blind Jason Lee American Icons, Powell-Peralta Mike McGill Skull & Snake, 101 Gabriel Rodriguez Jesus H. Christ, Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp I, Blind Danny Way Nuke Baby, and the very first Santa Monica Airlines Natas Kaupas model.

And Ed Roth cartoon, as found on 4Q Conditioning. So this guy must be a mountain boarder? Ooooh. Burn!

This installment of Shot of the Week features Josh Burt at Gabriel Park. The Flash blew out his shirt but it was a happy accident. Check out the Shot of the Week. There’s an outtake after the jump.

Here’s a Sick Puppies music video for a song called Odd One. For sick puppies, these are pretty sensitive mofos. Hmmn… I wonder if the lead singer ever listened to Dave Grohl. If nothing else, there are some really nicely framed and lighted shots of whatever skatepark this was shot at. – Thanks to Veronica Swim for the tip.

I couldn’t find the rumored Bridgestone commercial with the skateboard loop, but I did find this one from 2007 that is a retread (Get it? Ha ha! I’m killing it!) of the car as skateboard theme that I’m going to have to start calling an archetype if they keep making these. This one is pretty weak. Although I might have thought otherwise if I hadn’t seen the exact same concept several times already. Has anyone actually seen the Bridgestone commercial with a skateboard in it?

Unless you live in Brazil. The pool is on a farm owned by skater Gui Barbosa (seven miles from downtown guaratinguetá sp – Brazil) and the place known as VERT in ROÇA – Half pipe is a covered one quadribanks, and now the GUI building a pool ta American to style (the shallow part 1.20me is 2.00m deep with swift and without flat) guaratigueta the city and a paradise of skateboarding, already had here, Hosoi, ventura, Retigui, M.
