Yes, I am very upset that I didn’t think of this first. Ladies and gentlemen, Morrissey on a skateboard. Get yours here. From the mind of Alphonzo Rawls.

Check out the definitive postmortem on Brooklyn Street Skate Spot over at Curb Cut magazine. And that’s the last you see of BSSS here on Skate and Annoy, until the next time I post something about it.

Friday T&A from Red Dragon Apparel via Instagram. You remember those guys, right? I think they remember Globe.

There are a lot of driveways like this in Portland. I snapped this while cruising garage sales this summer. Looks like a fun spot.

Or your cell phone, I guess. PayPal background graphics that MC found. I should try and get these guys to sponsor Ebay Watch.

Well, it looks like someone should be skating on it, or is that just wishful thinking? Ollie to full loop anyone? Picnic, by Michael Beitz. is installed at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, WI. Bigger, better pics at Colossal.

From Lifeblood Skateboards via Instagram. – Thanks to Rich for the tip. UPDATE: And they are rolling in. Link after the jump. I’m going to add them as I find them. VIDEO too.

A Flex-trol skateboard, apparently the first one on the Interwebs, as I couldn’t find a single image of one anywhere. I’m guessing the name is combination of “flex” and “control.” Yeah I know, wild guess. This skateboard is fitted with a tension and torque control bar. The trucks are held at a fixed distance by the bar and as result: Has a sharp turning radius. It takes less lean to do a turn. Fewer skid-outs. The control bar tends to keep all 4 wheels on the ground during maneuvers. Board flex is controlled. As the flex increases, the board stiffens. This eliminates any “mushy” feel. Manufactured by the good folks at A.E. & Co out of Tarzana, Ca. I’m tempted to look it up and see if that patent ever got awarded. List of possible subtitles for this post: It takes less lean to do a turn. Fewer skid-outs As the flex increases, the board stiffens? Danimal picked this up recently at a Good Will!

Here’s a eulogy for Brooklyn Street Skate Spot, no words, just photos from some of the last sessions. As I write this, I don’t think the actual demolition has begun yet. Fence hopping is a reality. Thanks to Shawn Reinert for the photos.

This is snake run is the first pour from Dreamland Skateparks at work in Eugene, Oregon. I’m not exactly sure if the entire park is already funded, but Skaters for Eugene Skateparks managed to raise $57,000, and look, work has begun! Additional shot after the jump. – Thanks to Sarib Khalsa for the pics.
