Troy Sliter sent me this picture a long time ago. Very skate-able public art in Melbourne, Australia. I feel like I’ve seen this in a magazine since then. Hm.. Apparently “skateable” is not a word according to my built in spell check. Art is a word. A four letter word. I am just rambling.

Here’s one from my YouTube channel I made way back in 2007 of the Pro finals at Pier skatepark, enjoy …

Here’s some photos I shot on our Memorial Day trip to Oregon in 2010, mostly Pier & Lincoln City, enjoy….

Memorial Day 2010 – Oregon.

Random spot near Siesta Key, Florida. – Thanks to Sparky for the photo.

I was honored to be asked to contribute some of my old skateboarding photos here on Skate and Annoy. I grew up in the seventies and eighties in Arizona skating the legendary Desert Pipes, tons of empty pools, the Love Bowls, and lots more …

I now live in Seattle, I have been up here in the Northwest for 20 years. I still skate as much as I can, I love all the amazing skateparks we have here, but sometimes I miss the good old daze …

So here is my first contribution, a gallery of pipe photos I put together awhile back, enjoy !!!

For more: Desert Pipes

Cookies, chips, and soda! Actually, that used to be a diet that sustained me well around the time these boards were made. Check out these skateboards featuring the Keebler Elf, Chester the (Cheetos) Cheetah, and the Coke logo.

I was going through some old files on the computer and found this picture I took a few years ago of some weird signage at an arboretum in Illinois. Fairies use the maple seeds to windboard (much like skateboarding, but through the air). OK. It’s Magical!

Check out eBay Watch: February 2015.

The graphic on this Rolls Racer ‘Conqueror’ deck is clearly stolen from the Eddie Reategui ‘Warrior’ deck from 1988 by Alva. This bootleg even has wheel wells and comes in a vivid green, it sold on eBay a while back, but I forgot for how much.

Kevin Kowlaski has a new pro wheel model with Bones. My heart isn’t really broken, I’m just slightly bummed out because I’ve been sitting on an “Oregon Skate Parks” graphic that riffs on our Oregon State Parks logo for three years now. Then one day I walk into a skate shop and see that Kowalski’s model on Lifeblood beat me to it. I’m more of an ideas man than an action man…

I haven’t even watched the video yet, but it’s not even a limb that I have to go out on when I say prepare to be stoked.
