Rad investment portfolios.

(Cue the Devo Corporate Anthem) Hey all you Rad Daddy Warbucks, TheStreet.com has some pros and cons on investing in Zumiez stock. I confess to getting a kick out of analyst reports describing Zumiez customers as “antimainstream kids” and referring to the company’s focus on the “action sports teen lifestyle.” Before going over all the […]

Wii like Dead Rappers

OMG! UR SO HOT! The blogosphere is on fire with hottest skateboards on the web this week – the Dead Rappers series from Jeremy Fish and a soon to be released Wii controller-looking board from Black Market, a company that seems to be doing a second rate impersonation of World Industries circa 91. Actually, this […]

Hospital corners

Dan Hughes has a bunch of shots of the new Dreamland addition to the Bellingham skatepark. It’s an addition to the old park, so I suggested that Dan do a color overlay to show the old part vs the new. He sent the above image of the old section. The new stuff is the bowl […]

Broken Kingpins (and other junk)

For those keeping track, and I’m guessing that’s about three other people, I’ve resurrected the Broken Kingpins column name in Skate and Annoy.

cool photos

Dave Tobin sent this link to a gallery of great skate shots.

Great skate animation.

I’ve never seen Kleeman and Mike before but the intro is awesome. The skating looks very realistic. Looks like they rotoscoped their own video footage (from Claremont I think) It helps that they skate with some rad dudes. The story has some funny bits too. Thanks to Colin for pointing this out.

Hawk gets annoyed at E3

A seemingly drunk or otherwise incapacitated Jamie Kennedy interviewed Tony Hawk and his game developer at E3, which is to video games what an eBay convention would be like for skateboard collectors. Jamie is clearly phoning in his performance and bombing, but it’s still pretty funny to watch him take the piss out of all […]

Tony Hawk appears in Springfield Oregon video

Tony Hawk hearts the Simpson’s movie and Springfield Oregon

The Simpsons Movie is having a so-called contest to see which city named Springfield gets to host the premier of the movie. I say “so-called” because it’s pretty obvious that Springfield Oregon is the inspiration for the city, given that Groening used to live in Oregon and lot of the character names can be found […]
