Grandpa and Herman Munster

We’ve seen Eddie Munster on a skatebaord before, and now we can add Grandpa and Herman Munster to the list of super cool tough guys. This painting of Grandpa and Herman riding skateboards was found uncredited on Stumpahnds. I couldn’t find the original source, so if you know where it came from, please leave a […]

SK8 TV, while supplies last

UPDATE: This post dates back 2013 and a lot of the content and comments have to to with Skatemaster Tate (Gerry Hurtado) who didn’t really have an internet presence at the time.

Hawk and Koston on the Aquabats Super Show

Tony Hawk and Eric Koston had brief cameos hamming it up on the Aquabats Super Show season 2 premier. Gotta love the Aquabats. The show is a fun one. Like a low budget cross between the Monkeys and Ultraman.

News Flash:
Skateboarding no longer Extreme!™

I just saw this Red Bull commercial on TV sunday night, and couldn’t help but noticed they covered everything except the glring omission of skateboarding.

Let’s make A Deal!

Daymond Dodge snapped these pics off his TV. He happened to catch Let’s Make A Deal with host Wayne Brady. A Zonk prize? Now way! Who wouldn’t want a skateboarding gorilla? Even if you couldn’t keep the guy in the monkey suit, that’s the sweet spot for novelty oversized skateboards. This type of video is […]
