Artist Gerry Judah and Rune Glifberg collaborated on some skateable sculpture as part of an event tied in with… Formula One racing? I thought I heards that somewhere in one of the videos, but I’m not seeing it in any of the articles. So this event has already passed, and there are some videos, part of a 5 part series, but I can only spot 3. It looks pretty cool, although it’s pretty much just a halfpipe that looks like it was squashed and stretched a little. Still, as far as skateable “art” goes, Gerry should be tutoring those guys at Red Bull. The post title? The project was part of something called Burn Yard, a marketing event/effort by Coca Cola’s Burn energy drink.

Park Hill Skates in Denver, Colorado is sponsoring a high jump contest. Of course, it’s cool to call it “hippy jump” now, but come on skateboarders, if you really valued your hipster irony you’d be throwing a barrel jump contest.

So now you can get official WWE skateboards with wrestling pro graphics, or maybe it’s been available for while and I just wasn’t aware because there is no Dynamic Dudes model.

Episode #7 of 7 Seconds at Svitak’s features Pat Duffy… killing it. I’m really liking this series.

It’s one of those categories where nobody else is competing, except for maybe Bob Burnquist and Danny Way, but maybe they don’t even know it yet. I don’t know who Adil Dyani is, do you? I watched the trailer for “Never Quit,” a motivational film about skateboarding. I’m wondering why I haven’t heard of this guy before, because it almost seems like a Sacha Baron Cohen project. That’s one hell of a bomb drop, but also one waste of money for one trick. It’s a temporary installation that just ends in the flat. He probably should have called of Bob and asked if he could try it at his house, but thenBobprobably would have beat him to it.

Dominion was a Canadian company that made completes during the 80’s. (Update: Wrong. Dominon was a roller skate company that branched out into skateboards in the 60’s) This one from ’88 says ‘rood dood’, wich should probably be pronounced as ‘rude dude’. To me it’s confusing, because ‘rood dood’ means ‘red death’ in Dutch (ain’t that so, Matthijs?). But the interesting thing here is that this board seems  a diss on vert skaters at a time when vert skating was reaching its end. The wall on this graphic is full of references to skateboarding and names of vert pros.  Take a closer look after the jump. The deck was for sale on eBay.

Garbage Pail Kids. Rad Rod. 1988. Wait, why does he only have 4 toes?

Uppercut Deluxe makes old style men’s grooming products such as pomade. They offer a collector’s box that contains a special edition Z-Flex skateboard that acts as a stand for these products when not being ridden.

The brand was built by the creative brains, passion and hard work of Luke Newman and Steve Purcell, childhood friends with a love for barbering, surf and skate. Newman discovered the world of barbering while staying in Portland Oregon with a friend building skateparks after his school years.

OK, I’ll admit I experienced my usual skeptical, negative backlash when I first saw this. But then, after reading a little, I thought if I had a business, why wouldn’t I try to incorporate the things I love if I could? Once, as a college dropout living in a college town “band house,” myself and a bunch of my roommates decided we all wanted “50’s head” right there, and right then. Trouble was, it was after the bars had closed. We scoured every open store in a 50 mile radius trying to find some pomade. Eventually we found some, probably at a truck stop, and we proceeded to give ourselves “50’s head.” We looked bad – instead of badass, because a good pompadour requires a little forethought before growing your hair. Then we spent a few hours sporting our new look in a 24 hour coffee shop on campus, drinking expresso, getting jittery, and looking weird. Nobody would make eye contact. It was anticlimactic, but we enjoyed it.
