Marginal Documentary

A very short documentary on Marginal Way Skatepark. I think this is the whole thing and not just a trailer. I would have liked to see more, even though the story is very simple, I feel like the filmmaker barely scratched the surface. I’m not sure what happened to the official web presence of Marginal […]

King of the neighborhood!

Chris Cantwell operates a skateshop in Bradenton, Florida, and even though it’s got a really nice skatepark, Chris decided he needed his own concrete. I once built a 6 foot tall miniramp in the front yard of a house I was renting, but Chris’s vision and execution is so much more amazing. The closest thing […]

Jeff Goso [sic]

This must be the worst restoration job ever. The deck on the right is called a ‘Jeff Goso’ according to the seller on eBay, the left one is the untouched Jeff Grosso “Toy Blocks” board from 1986 as seen on SkullandBones. This reminds me of the 80-year-old woman who restored a 19th century fresco of […]
