Historical Inaccuracies in Air

Outrage! I just watched the movie Air, and and enjoyed it quite a bit except for a glaring historical accuracy. No, I’m not talking about combining real-life people into one character for the sake of the plot, nor imagined dialog. Instead, I’m talking about the real important stuff, the skateboarding! The scene happens early (about […]

Adventure Bizarre

There’s really no reason to post this generic toy store plastic skateboard (available in bulk from China for $9 a piece) other than the fact their models look… amazeballs! Adventure Bizarre? Yeah I think I saw them in Paris, circa 1977 opening up for Metal Urbain.

Action Transfers

I lurk on the web site Action Transfers web site on a recurring basis ever couple of years, mostly waiting for them to post the Battle of Midway set I had as a kid. Action Transfers was the brand name for the dry-rub decals made by the Letraset company. Aside from making the lettering that […]

R.A.C.O. Miller High Life

Josh Baker spotted this Miller Beer fiberglass skateboard made by the folks at R.A.C.O. and noticed it wasn’t among those in a previous post. Apparently, (allegedly?) the going rate is $315. Insert joke about flat beer.

Vintage Skaterock – Ships from the U.S.A.

This is not going to be a trend here… or maybe it is. This rad dude with a bitichin’ ‘tude was spotted on TV during an MLS match between Sporting Kansas City and LAFC. Soccer and Skateboarding crossovers are the sport of the future. He looks like Clint Dempsey.

It’s Messi World

HUGE NEWS that Lionel Messi is coming to MLS and joining Miami FC. How huge is it? Even the skateboarding sites are talking about it. OK, this one is at least. How bizarre is it that the world’s most famous sport celebrity is wearing a skateboard related shirt on TV during an interview? Well it […]

Republican’s, Meat and Skateboarding

“All life is a blur of republicans and meat!” is a a well loved saying by Zippy the Pinhead. This particular rendition of it is uncharacteristically clumsy from whoever worked on the layout for this postcard in Bill Griffith’s online merch store.

Skateboard mogul’s Fort Worth home hits the market for $2.9 million

This house in the Westover Hills neighborhood of Fort Worth Texas was designed and built for Charles Nash III, the founder of Nash Skateboards, and yet somehow there are no transitions in this pool. – Thanks to Justin Seng for the tip. Source: WFFA.com P.S. Thanks for adding me to the group. I just found this […]
