I can’t go skate I’m playing a video game.
Came across this while reading a webcomic about videogames. I immediately searched for the game LittleBigPlanet so I could understand what the joke was about. Up came this image on a videogame review website. Not sure whether to be awed at the series of cosmic coincidences that always brings me back to skateboarding or depressed at what a pathetic geek I am.
X-mas 75
This is a killer photo on the Cobb blog. Michael Cobb goes into detail about the skateboards in the photo and other he and his family had, above and beyond the plastic ones. Make sure you follow the link to see the full size version of the photo. Michael is/was the kid with the sly expression on the green board. Make sure you click the photo to enlarge because the preview cuts off one of the best parts, (shown here) the launcher for an Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle, obviously not one of the reissues. If you dig the 70’s x-mas, don’t forget to check out his 80’s x-mas post. It’s totally bitchin!
X-treme-mas!
Merry X-treme-mas! Ho, ho, haaar! Here’s a wrap up of skateboard Christmas ornaments. Sorry Jews, Muslims, Mormans, Rastafarians, Pastafarians, Pan-Africans, etc… Nothing against you. Praise Jeebus and give thanks to Batman.
Design your own crappy skateboard
Design your own toy skateboard from 1982. Ugh. I guess if you aren’t going to spring for a real skateboard you might as well let your kid put his own crappy design on it instead having some corporate toy or movie tie in. Who is this mysterious ZR? I don’t know, but he must be fast!
Get off your couch and play skateboarding.
“Pull off a radical half pipe move from the comfort of your living room couch.” Actually, I think you need to get off the couch and stand on this thing to play the game.
Greedo Air
No, this not a new airline with a hub in Jersey, (oh wait, that’s Guido Air) it’s a Flkr post sent in by EPM. See the original here. Looks like a Lien Airwalk or maybe a Madonna on the faucet extension. Photo by UnoLobo
