Skate and Annoy: Daily
Salt of the earth, made from the sea
Yeah, I don’t know what that means. Salt Surf is the name of the company and I was just struggling for a title here. I like the shape and the product, but the Pottery Barn style faux weathering rubs me the wrong way. Has anyone seen a copy of this 43 Magazine that they are also selling? Looks interesting and more like an artifact. Not something you keep next to the toilet.
Blades and boards. We’re friends.
U Mobile is a Malaysian telco and broadband company that was founded in 1998, so as a teenager you’d think they be a little hipper. – Thanks to Boy from SkateMalaysia.com for the tip.
Primo
Sure, but where’s Diane? Nichlaus Abraham, AKA Warm Fuzzy Co was not offended when I said his illustrations reminded me of Superjail. There are a few other skateboards in there too.
More Oregon skatespots on Espn.com
More Oregon skatespots on Espn.com This time from photographer Garric Ray. I can’t very well give him a hard time for calling Lincoln City a suburb of Portland because I once captioned a bean plant as a boneless on Fuel TV’s site. That photo too, was at Lincoln City.Must be something in the coastal air, (or concrete!) Can you end a sentence in parenthesis?
We’re all invited
Kevin Kowalski’s backyard skate complex featured on ESPN.com. Stick around for the end as Kevin extends an invitation that you see him instantly regret as the video fades to black.
Portlandia and Old Skater
Carrie Brownstein after filming another episode of Portlandia with a skateboarding segment. They shot at Burnside last season. I haven’t posted that yet. Local skater Russ from Gorey Details suited up as an “old skater” for this episode.
Freestyle from beyond the grave
I’m not sure if this is leftover Ghost Rider merchandise that was repurposed or what. The skeleton man riding this rather wide “freestyle” board is probably scared to death of those M.C. Escher brand trucks that are somehow mounted upside down. At least they aren’t backwards. Freestyle Tattoos. Look for them in your grocery store. – Thanks to Andrew Wahl for the tip.
Interior monologue
Felippe Lovecchio’s interior design. His web site is full of renders, none of it looks like actual photographs, but hey, I’d like to see this built. It’s a nice break from concept renderings of electric skateboards. Photo from Facebook. – Thanks to Boy for the tip.
Electric skateboard of the week
The Ground Surf from 1135 Garnet looks like it might be a design concept and not an actual product as of yet. There are next to zero details on the site. Sensors supposedly adjust speed by weight placement, which seems like it might be hard to control. Good news though, if you fall off those sensors will apply the brakes. Nice neo-art deco design. If Deckard rode an electric skateboard, this is what it would look like. [Source: The Khooll] – Thanks to Kathleen for the tip.
