Bunk punk
Check out this video from Socery Sammy, who I think is part of the Sorcery 118 crew. Good skating and nice juxtaposition with ancillary “punk” footage. I don’t know how much is appropriated or what the original source of the extra footage is, but it’ll give it an A for postmodernism. How I used to hate listening to my professors go on and on about postmodernism, but I get it. This is Grover’s tip. Thanks to Grover for the tip. Grover is on the Sorcery 118 tip.
Gene Pool fundraiser
No need to wonder anymore. Fundraiser for the Gene Pool. Saturday October 20th. Flyer after the jump.
Friday T&A on S&A: Disney Orgy
By the time this post goes live, the limited edition Disney Paul Krassner & Wally Wood will undoubtedly be sold out or otherwise no longer available from Boom Art, $340 or not. The content aside, the overall package is really well done. This is the way to, uhm… do it. The Disneyland Memorial Orgy illustration is not a tip to 90’s era skate graphics copyright steamrolling, but was originally drawn in 1967 and published in what the hippies called an underground comic. OOPS! Thought I had scheduled this for Friday!
Mike Ternasky Reflection: Plan B Legacy
Plan B is launching a video history of Plan B. This first segment is titled Mike Ternasky Reflection, Return of ‘The Team.’ In 1991 Mike Ternasky assembled one of the most dominant teams in the history of the sport and produced what many consider to be the best skate video of all time, Questionable. In 1994, after Mike’s tragic death in car accident the future of the team appeared to be over. Then in 2005, founding team members Danny Way and Colin McKay relaunched the brand with their own version of the super team and a dream to continue the legacy of Plan B. I didn’t have time to watch it all, but you do or you wouldn’t be here. [Source: Ali Sports]
Sedro-Woolley Bully
There’s a new skatepark opening about an hour and some change north of Seattle in a town called Sedro-Woolley. The grand opening is Saturday October 13, 2012. Hey wait, that was two days ago! There’s a facebook page a grainy webcam. Who built this? There’s a Grindline shirt in one of the photos. Lots of construction shots in extended interval time lapse formatfrom Bob Rock. – Thanks to John Aguilar for the (late) tip.
Reissue day
These Powell Peralta reissues are just the tip of the iceberg of what Stacy is pushing in connection with the Bones Brigade documentary. A few items are already sold out. I have… mixed feelings about this. I don’t begrudge these guys the right to make a living, but it seems a little excessive and counterintuitive to the legacy. I don’t know if they need the money or not. Maybe they realize their shelf life is limited at this (amazingly) late stage in their careers, so they’re just trying to get one last payoff. Check out the goods.
Mini Murderers
A long time ago, but not that long ago, someone claimed the only reason they were re-releasing the Gator board with “Gator” on it instead of “Vision” (like they originally did the re-issues) because there was a mixup with the old films. A little while later they claimed that Mark “Gator” Anthony never owned the trademark to the “Gator” name so it was ok. So… someone sure is confused about those old films huh? A mini version of your favorite celebrity skater’s pro model. Just the thing to inspire your kids. Available at Select Distribution.
SOTW 10-7-12: Robert Parish
This week’s Shot of the Week is a Robert Parish photo by Spencer Morgan. Apparently this guy is an ollie monster.
