As seen in the trailer for Band De Filles, a movie known ad Girlhood, in English speaking countries. I actually don’t know where this is, Might not be Paris at all. Looks like a fun not-built-for-skateboarding spot.

The pictures make Denmark’s Streetdome look pretty excellent, but this video from (err…) Oakley can help you get a better feel for the place. it features Rune Glifberg, Sean Malto, Curren Caples, Arto Saari, Sam Beckett and Alex Sorgente. Scenes from the indoor section are pretty scarce, however. I suspect that’s because it’s pretty standard looking, outside of being inside a giant dome.

The chances of me knowing who Chris Pulman is were pretty slim, him being a professional skateboard from the UK in 90’s… and I honestly had no idea that he was an am for Foundation and an ex-pro for Heroin, Independent and Vans. After watching a half an hour of footage (broken up into 3 segments) I can’t say that I wasted any time. “That Guy” is part of a series on skateboarders in the UK from Pixels TV. Looks like it was made with some help from Independent. Chris Pulman as a first choice seems a pretty good one, even if you don’t remember him. Watch ’em all after the jump, plus the bonus footage “Pigeon” from 1999, a video of the Southsea skate scene filmed in and around Portsmouth and London.

The Skate DIY page on Facebook has been going on for almost a year but it already has 4,400 likes based on 766 posts to date. If you’re a skateboarder you owe it to yourself (and your community) to “like” this page. It’s updated several times daily with DIY projects in various states of completion in various parts of the world. Sometimes it’s just a picture of the spot, sometimes it contains a tip or link. It’s always inspirational, and exposure to the sheer volume of work being done by others is enough to make you get off your ass and actually, you know… do it yourself! The page owner Clayton Graul also has a more localized (Hollywood) resource called Urban Skate Project with a similar goal:

It’s really about motivating people to get out and do it. Lots of examples from novice to pro. Just trying to make the world a better place to skate.

Skate DIY started as an Instagram feed that is still going. I asked Clayton to come on board here at Skate and Annoy, but in true DIY fashion he wanted to do his own thing and not be beholden to “the Man” at Skate and Annoy. Who can blame him? Spread the word and raise your own stoke level by following Skate DIY.

Theres found terrain and then there’s found natural terrain. Outside of the Moab footage, this spot in Sierra Nevada filmed by Brandon Rein is the most skate able natural rock formation I’ve ever seen. It looks natural for the most part, but there are definitely sections that look like a concrete surface, which seems highly illogical. Brendon does not give any info however, so you’ll just have enjoy the clip. The skateboarding only makes up about a quarter of the footage in the entire video, so you’ll have to wait for it.

This is the Skatesurfer from RC Sports, Not to be confused with the RC cola skateboard. It features the gold standard of performance accessories – “Rol Best” wheels. You know this the very best they have to offer, because the pro-line checkbox comes after “special” and “supreme.” It comes assembled in a box, but it also includes a sticker mounting instructions for the trucks. A very specific sticker actually, right down to the option between Chicago or Sure-grip trucks. and which size screws to use in each case. This should place this skateboard somewhere in the 70’s, although I usually associate the ridged construction on the bottom with late 80’s toy store boards at the earliest. Very interesting, in a very nerdy sort of way. This one came from Aarons Toys and sold for $80. Holy cow, RC Sports in Olathe Kansas is actually still in business! They only sell roller skates and inline skates these days, but ironically there’s a skate tool from Pig Wheels on the front page.

Stuck In Ohio, brings you The Definition of Ohio Skateboarding. It’s a skateboard specific part of a larger project. There are two things I like about this video; the attitude and the wealth of cool looking spots. Remember Surf Ohio! Also, We are all Devo.

Remember 50 on 50? 40 Year Old Janitor does 40 Mini-Ramp Tricks at Jolly Roger Skateboards.

I just reached the big 4-0 so I figured I would see what 40 tricks I could pull off on our mini-ramp last night. Warning: there are no McTwists or flip tricks in this video. I am really not much of a Birthday person but if you want to give me a gift come by and buy yourself something nice from the shop.

You know, it seems like I’ve read some of this before somewhere… No? Death Skateboards produced a good two part video of the Simon Woodstock story. It includes some interesting history on Sonic Skateboards and lot’s of, dare I say, rare footage? Check it out after the jump.
