Tiger’s Blood Extreme Chill
MC is on a road trip, checking out some skate spots in Idaho and Colorado. He found Tiger’s Blood Extreme Chill in a gas station in Boise. looks like the proprietor put up a poster of his kid (or someone) at a local spot. Locals only slushies! I’ll take a large cup of Igloo Caps please.
Facememe
This gangsta owl on a skateboard is floating around Facebook. The real question for Skate and Annoy nerds is what cartoon is this from? Anyone know the answer? (I don’t, I just want to know.)
Drobo extreme steampunk
Spotted on the Drobo web site. A precocious little futre businessman with rocket powered wings and a skateboard. Be careful kid, or you’ll end up as a stock photo. Uncluttered version after the jump.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus on a skateboard, sort of. Even if her boyfriend wasn’t carrying his Penny board, he’d still look like a douche. She’s no poser… two days in a row even. [Source: US Weekly] – Thanks to Mrs Kilwag for the tip.
Bee Radical
Vodaphone bus stop advert with bees on a mini ramp was spotted while site seeing in the UK, by a Yank no less. UK readers, where’s the love? – Thanks to Adam Wallingford for the pics.
Hosoi booked
Which is misleading, because he hasn’t been busted, rather he has a book coming out titled Hosoi: My Life As A Skateboarder Junkie Inmate Pastor which is excerpted on the Huffington Post.(?) – Thanks to Andrew Wahl for the tip
Gap
Spotted at the Gap in Portland. Skateboard as fashion prop, but amusingly, someone stuck a big inventory sticker on the bottom of the board because they didn’t think it would be on display that way. Also funny, sandals on the mannequin. Some guys like Vans, some guys like Nike, others get the best performance from a pair of sandals. – Thanks to Steve B for the photos.
Friday T&A on S&A. This is dumb, not badass.
“Badass skateboarding” from Playboy, which is neither badass or anything other than embarrassing for all parties involved. One girl appears to know how to skate, while the other two have “action” scenes that look like they were shot at speeds approaching 2mph. Entirely safe for work video after the jump, although the domain name may be blacklisted. Highlight of the video is actual vintage equipment. – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.
Jot and the gang on the 9th Commandment
I totally forgot about these cartoons. Trippy animations from the 60’s (ran through the early 80’s) with a religious message, made by the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission. Super progressive animation and the subject matter make for an interesting juxtaposition. Here’s part of an episode with a skateboard playing a pivotal role. I don’t remember this from back in the day. I don’t remember any individual episodes of Jot the Dot, actually. I say “part” of an episode because there is an implied ass-beating that isn’t shown, and it ends abruptly. – Thanks to Nick Dawson for the tip.
Insert mellon grab joke
You know, mellon grabs, and also “Wear a helmet to protect you mellon!” As seen somewhere in North Carolina, (Imported from South Carolina!) Apparently the Coosaw Watermellon rides a skateboard and a surfboard. No visuals on the Coosaw Farms web site. No merch or anything. You guys are missing out on… well, OK. Probably only one sale. What is shipping to Oregon?
