Patriot Games
Spotted at the New England Patriots Museum, AKA the Hall At Patriot Place. Thanks to Brian Baade for the picture.
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.
BB & BK in RS
Bones Brigade coverage in the October issue of Rolling Stone. Maybe it’s November, magazines always seem to come a month ahead of schedule. Adele is on the cover. That’s a new photo of an old photo, both by Bryce Kanights.
Cheetos Spinners
Market research has determined that Europeans, when eating junk food, want to be reminded of extreme!™ sports and the United States of America. And hence, Cheetos Spinners as spotted in Holland, with Chester Cheetah hitting a stair set somewhere in Seattle. Chester has aged well. – Thanks to Matthijs for the photos.
I have evolved
I have evolved, but I still get around. Here’s a true exchange I had about this recent eBay purchase: Friend: How the hell are you going to listen to an 8-track?ME: It’s OK, I have it on vinyl too.Friend: Your wife must hate you.
Portlandia and Old Skater
Carrie Brownstein after filming another episode of Portlandia with a skateboarding segment. They shot at Burnside last season. I haven’t posted that yet. Local skater Russ from Gorey Details suited up as an “old skater” for this episode.
Bite me
An in store promo item for the Bart Simpsons Butterfinger campaign. Sure, it’s old, but Bart Simpson never goes out of style. It’s too bad that show went off the air… Wait? It’s still on? It’s too bad that show is still on the air. I actually haven’t watched it lately. It went through a phase when they clearly should have called it quits, and then it got good again, but I couldn’t get into it again. I’m more of a Bob’s Burgers guy these days. Get some.
Excel – Unenslaved
I’m not fan of Excel (or Powerpoint for that matter.. Cue rim shot.) but at the very least, in 1995 they were well ahead of the curve paying respect to Dogtown. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip
Won’t someone please think of the CHILDREN!
I would like to apologize to the posts that appear above and below this one.
James Jarvis for MTV
Illustrator and vinyl toy designer James Jarvis made this station ID for MTV with Richard Kenworthy. It’s a cool animation and it’s not his fault that the network is flaming bag of dog poo. That would be a good station ID for MTV actually. [Source: Hypebeast]
