Bob Burnquist with a sneak peak of the 2011 Toyata Prius. Honda, if you’re listening, I’ll gladly make a commercial in exchange for a Civic, Fit, motorcycle, lawn mower, boat engine or generator. I guess I’d even take a plane.

Skateboards on the cover of Good magazine. Conahan isn’t a fan of online magazines that use the fake page turning mechanism. I wonder how he feels about online magazines that have “issues.” This might actually be a print magazine, I’m not sure. In any case, I think this issue is about crappy jobs and the current employment environment. I don’t think the skateboards go any further than the cover.

CNN has a follow up on the recent skateboard emissary mission to Cuba. You might recall we posted about a Christmas day session that was also a drop off for new and used equipment to be brought to Cuba. So how did it go? Check out the story and video on CNN.

These are a few stills from the the video for Rusko track Woo Boost on the Mad Decent label. At first I was prepared to turn this off, and quickly at that, but then it definitely got under my skin and now I could watch it endlessly. Low budget music vids are sometimes the best. Where else ar you going to find marionettes and magic carpet skateboarding?

As a pop star I like Pink even though she tries too hard. Still, I’m not going to buy any of her albums, although my kids (5 and 3) somehow love the song “So What.” These stills are from the video for Raise Your Glass that features Bucky Lasek. It’s not the first time she’s dabbled with skateboarders in music videos.

Destiny made sure the comment with this video was held in moderation. Laziness made me withhold it until I could make it into it’s own post. So yeah… Commercials… Skateboards… Ubiquitous. This web site is now irrelevant. Two skateboard spots for Dickies, one featuring Patrick Melcher and two featuring “SLAM.” Dickies pants indestructible? Sure they can withstand extreme dude’s hijinks, but they are destructible vs repeated old man butt slides on the transition.

Apple has some HTML 5/CSS3 demos online as their way of justifying blowing off Flash promoting Web Standards compliance in their devices like the iPad and iPhone. The typography section features a rad Bryce Kanights photo of Tony Farmer.

Well, it’s a commercial I guess. Throw some paint around in the studio, let it dry a little and film it for the folks at Red Bull. Video featuring Joey Brezinski and behind the scenes after the jump.

The Tron sequel opened this weekend, and somewhere in Australia they got the idea to match motion tracking with an overhead display, but this time instead of on the floor of an airport, casino or children’s museum they projected onto a miniramp. People keep asking what skateboarding has to do with Tron, and the answer is nothing, just as most skateboard demos at Seaworld, Six Flags, or halftime displays at professional football games. Looks fun, although, I’d probably eat it trying watch my own display. I’d probably eat it anyway… There are two separate videos from different sources after the jump. So nothing to do with skateboarding, but it did it’s job because we’re talking about Tron. Loved that arcade game. GVK saw the movie. He said it pretty good. I can’t believe he went to se it on opening weekend.

Check out the video for “Steve Don’t Party No More” from Portland’s Mean Jeans. Buy their CD titled “Are you Serious” from the always entertaining Dirtnap Records.
