The Justice Man on a skatebaord hasa [sic] amazing “non-fall” action. Go forward and turn right automatically as soon as he comes to an “edge”. Super Bat. Non-Fall Action. Awesome eBay action. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip. (It’s his day today.)

The Guinness Book of World Records recently uploaded old footage from a 1996 record for the longest handstand. It’s pretty boring video except for the strangely riveting footage of the rollerblader on the support team, practically caressing the guy as he rolls down the road. So the longest handstand? I don’t know. It needs an asterisk. It should be “Longest Handstand with Gravity Assist.” I mean, common, we’ve got standards to uphold. Waiting to hear from the Handstand Man on this one. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip

Omar Salazar talks about his input into the Dew Tour street contest to held on an actual downhill street. Omar’s take is interesting, but then there’s some news from the Dew Tour press release. The Dew Tour, in conjunction with the athletes and industry veterans, created the Streetstyle discipline as a way to recognize the thriving action sports community in San Francisco. Huh? I could have sworn Thrasher Magazine “created” the first streetstyle event. The contest in San Francisco happened over the weekend. I was confused by press releases with two different winners of street events, but it looks like they had a “skate street” contest and a separate “streetstyle” event. It’s pointless to rail against the corporations involved in modern professional skateboard spectacles. Skateboarders more or less run these events anyway. It’s nice to see a little creativity in the format, even if it is rehashed creativity from 30 years ago. Wow. I can’t believe how long I’ve been obsessed with skateboarding…

Check out this video from Socery Sammy, who I think is part of the Sorcery 118 crew. Good skating and nice juxtaposition with ancillary “punk” footage. I don’t know how much is appropriated or what the original source of the extra footage is, but it’ll give it an A for postmodernism. How I used to hate listening to my professors go on and on about postmodernism, but I get it. This is Grover’s tip. Thanks to Grover for the tip. Grover is on the Sorcery 118 tip.

No need to wonder anymore. Fundraiser for the Gene Pool. Saturday October 20th. Flyer after the jump.

This tip came to me with the subject line “Some Nerd,” which pretty much sums it up. Microsoft’s iPad contender called Surface actually looks pretty cool. Someone at Microsoft mounted trucks to it, at which point I’ll take the opportunity to point out that it’s already been done on an iPad. A Microsoft executive actually took it for a spin though.

Rich Burton of Earth Patrol Media has a photography show at Extracto Coffee Roasters on NE Killingsworth in Portland, OR and his lame friends here at Skate and Annoy neglected to mention it. Sorry dude. There are 60 photos on display and for sale. Check out the images here. Proceeds to benefit the Fernhill Skatepark effort. The 60 images have been up for a couple of weeks already. Go check it out before it comes down and enjoy some fine coffee while you’re there.

By the time this post goes live, the limited edition Disney Paul Krassner & Wally Wood will undoubtedly be sold out or otherwise no longer available from Boom Art, $340 or not. The content aside, the overall package is really well done. This is the way to, uhm… do it. The Disneyland Memorial Orgy illustration is not a tip to 90’s era skate graphics copyright steamrolling, but was originally drawn in 1967 and published in what the hippies called an underground comic. OOPS! Thought I had scheduled this for Friday!

Dezeen has photos of some skateable industrial architecture painted up pretty and chopped up a little and presented as an art installation. The bank looks fun, but the installation looks really intriguing actually. Rotor is the collective culprit in Belgium. – MC is an art phag.
