Dieta Skateboards in Estacada
Dieta Skateboards in Estacada, Oregon = Diestacada Built by Dreamland and located in Estacada Oregon, Frank and Johnny enjoy a morning skate session at Wade Creek skatepark. Filmed and edited by Daniel Evans, additional footage by Spencer Knuttila. Video after the jump.
Weird Woods of Maine

Mouse vs Mouse
Chuck E Cheese squares up against the venerable Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse certainly holds the edge in sheer quantity of appearances on a skateboard, but Chuck has the advantage in this presentation. Actually, he kind of looks like a skatepark hipster. That’s a pencil sharpener on the bottom of his skateboard, not a battery pack for an electric motor. Production date on both of these items are unknown.
Psycho Stick bootleg
This crazy thing is obviously a copy of a 1988 Vision Psycho Stick. The psycho on the Free Former looks even more mental than the original one on the right (as seen in eBay Watch August 2010). The guys at Free Former must have liked their psychos, since they did a Gator bootleg too. Spotted this one on eBay.
Burnquist Dreams Big
Bob Burnquist and crew (including Jeff King) built a classy looking floating miniramp as part of a PR campaign to (Warren) bolster California tourism. Visit California, where all your dreams can come true. This commercial speaks directly to 1984 Kilwag. I remember my first time in California, actually visiting some of the places I’d read about and seen in Thrasher like venice Beach, the Nude Bowl, and random grade schools with banks. It was like making a pilgrimage to Mecca. Dream Big was filmed in 2013, but I didn’t see it until recently. It looks super fun, kind of small, almost anticlimactic in the context. Maybe their budget didn’t allow them to dream bigger. Still, it’s great that things like this are being built. Don’t forget to visit California.
Matix Skateboarder Magazine Covers
Skateboards with covers from 1978 editions of Skateboarder Magazine, somehow affiliated with Matix Clothing, although they have no details on their site, besides a link to this picture. Retro is overused, but these look pretty good. Oregon locals: The next time you see Tom Inouye (board 3) let him know you saw him on the cover of skateboard magazine again. Cover image scans from Vintage Skateboard Magazines.

Eugenius
A couple more shots of Dreamland Skateparks progress in Eugene, Oregon. From the lenses of Elias Parise on the left and Jodie Taylor on the right.
Boom Art and Alain Aslan pinups
Alain Aslan was a pinup artist most famous for his work in Lui magazine. He passed away earlier this month, so it’s kind of unclear how long this limited edition skateboard set from Boom-Art has been in the works, and whether or not it’s authorized. They sent me a press release earlier this week but I accidentally deleted it, and there’s still no mention on their blog. They’ve got a high percentage of women in various states of undress on their boards. Although the do claim to have the first European female pro model. Who knows if it was a response to criticism or not, but Chloé Bernard is happy. The Nash pasties here were probably unnecessary, but to be honest, they amuse me and I enjoy placing them over naughty bits. Free love version after the jump. If you want to see bigger version of the two Lui covers in the background, you must travel back to 2007 in order to travel back to 1977.
