Peach to Parasite: New Orleans D.I.Y.

New Orleans is the largest U.S. city without a skatepark! It’s been a long time since we’ve reported on the scene that gave birth to the now defunct Peach Orchard. Since then the park has a new name to go with a sanctioned location and some ramps donated by Spohn Ranch, leftover from the Mississippi […]

Double bootleg

Why bootleg just one graphic when you can combine them for twice the potential profit? The “designer” of this deck obviously used the Powell ‘Ban This’ deck from 1989 for inspiration on the top. He even copied the name ‘Caballero’ or at least a part of it, but it’s very hard to see in this […]

Tyler Martin for Sector 9

I was going to say “I like this kid” but he’s a grown man for the love of Hosoi. Check out his new video part for Sector 9, it’s got a good mixture of street, transition, ditch, diy and skatepark terrain. The guy that looks a little like GVK in the doubles section is actually […]

JC Penney Had Class

Another shot of vintage skateboard equipment from one of my favorite sources, old department store catalogs. These offerings from JC Penney were available in 1977. There’s a generic board, a Free Former brand, and two that I can’t quite make out with the name Class in it, possibly ODO Class or DDO class. (Update: Pro […]

Peralta on Powell

There’s certainly no shortage of skateboarding documentaries, but I wouldn’t mind seeing one on the larger history of Powell, the company and the man. Stacy Peralta put together this short 4 minute video that plays like a mix between a trailer and a marketing piece for Powell. For me, one of the more interesting things […]

Goodluck Planche a Roulettes

“Goodluck” brand safety equipment for French speaking children. Everything, helmet included, seems to be made out of dense, soft foam. Almost like wrestling mats. Check out the trim on that helmet. Weird, but stylish. No idea what year this is from… 70’s? 80’s? [SOURCE: Leboncoin] – Thanks to David ODK for the tip.

Worst Northwest Tour Ever

Scion brings you the worst ever Northwest skatepark tour, featuring Riley Hawk and something called a “Shep Dawg” crew. There’s something to be said for traveling off the beaten path, but given the wealth available terrain in the Northwest, the park selection is pretty weak. They actually go to a good spot (Windells) but it’s […]

The Longest Boardslide

The Skateboard Mag has a crazy-long board slide video with Jordan Hoffart. They kind of make a few excuses for it not being gnarly or fast… but seriously, who cares? I thought we were past that attitude in the collective skateboard media. Check it out.

Screening: Ultimate Flex Machine and Skater Dater

The Hollywood Theater is showing to 16mm skateboarding films on Monday, February 16 at 7:00 pm in Portland, Oregon. Tickets are only $5 so that’s a no brainer if you’re on the fence. You’ve probably seen Skater Dater before, but you’ve not likely seen the Australian film Ultimate Flex Machine. These prints are owned by […]
