Skateboarding in the 1976 movie Car Wash

Workin’ at the Car Wash

A few skateboarding stills from the 1976 movie Car Wash, starring Richard Pryor and George Carlin, thanks to Josef Heffner. Man, that is one narrow board…

Ghengis Khan with a skateboard in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Name this movie

More movie madness, or should I say radness, from Joesf Heffner. Name this movie. I’ll give you a hint: It involves historical characters. Get the answer after the jump.

I found this picture uncredited on one of those image amalgamation web sites. It actually had a WB watermark in the bottom corner. Heath Ledger was known to pick up a skateboard, who knows, maybe he had a kickflip in him…. It looks like a photoshop job though, especially with the board backwards. Regardless, the […]

Oversized Rob Dyrdek

Rob dyrdek has an obsession with world records. He’s been goofing around with an oversized skateboard for his MTV show Fantasy Factory. At first I thought this was the same board we featured here back in 2007. In fact, it almost looks smaller than the ones the Michigan enginerds built. The guys who built said […]

Bruce Willis skateboarding scene in Hudson Hawk

Hudson Hawk Shark

Joesf sent in some more video captures, this time from Hudson Hawk, circa 1991. I remember this scene vaguely. They used skateboards to roll past some bad guys quietly. I don’t know who made the Shark model, but it’s Guh-narly!

Another You

Looks like they chopped off the front of the board and attached a cow catcher, possibly even painted some 215’s […]

MIke V (and others) in Mall Cop.

Mike V has a supporting role as one of the bad guys in the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and he’s pimping it hard on his web site. He’s go the trailer, a couple previews, three TV appearances and and some production stills on his web site. Mike did more than just stunts, he’s a […]

Skateboarders not skateboarding on TV

First up, Mark Gonzales in a Nissan commercial. Funny thing is, when I saw this commercial the very first time I kept expecting a skateboard, but it never materialized. Something about the commercial exuded a skateboarding vibe, or a similar sense of fun. I didn’t recognize the Gonz the first time because he was completely […]
