Familiarity breeds respect

The marketing intern over at Skate One was gushing about Steven Reeves in his email propaganda. You’re preaching the to the choir man, but it was amusing to be given the hard sell on a guy I already know. Steven Reeves at Mammoth Mountain Skatepark after the jump.

There are popsicle sticks and there are…

There are popsicle sticks and there are more popsicle stick sticks. Check out this longboard made from laminates of actual popsicle sticks. I was a little bit disappointed to learn that these were craft and hobby store popsicle sticks and not from recycled frozen sweets. I think the sugar water stains would have been a nice touch, although once lacquered, the bard does have a nice bamboo lok to it. Check it out on Instructables. – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.

Plywood required

This is the 1001 Nights House by A-cero, Joaquin Torres Architects outside of Madrid, Spain. These guys love tranny. This is the third appearance for A-cero in S&A. Too bad this doesn’t have a run up. Check it out over at Contemporists. – Thanks to Mark P. for the tip.

Any little bumps?

The folks (volks) at Made for Skate recently had a display in The Skateboard Museum called Metal Battle in celebration of a Nike SB collab styled after the oldest school Roller Derby skateboards. Dig the inserts on these. The design for the show flyer was lifted from this poster, which was also on display. It’s a vintage 60’s silkscreened poster advertisement for a body shop. I’d place it at 1965-66 if I had to guess. So why was the the show called the Metal Battle? To celebrate they brought out some vintage steel wheeled death traps and had a session. Video after the jump.

A happy medium and a fan reaction

I had never heard of this guy Jeff Stevens before, but I dig this video part. I had to do a little bit of investigating to find out where it was from since the (soon to be removed) clip on Youtube doesn’t give any information other than his name. The soundtrack piqued my interest though, and a search for “Jeff Stevens” and “skateboard” turned up a couple videos from the “A Happy Medium” series. The trailer didn’t have any of the same footage, but I also found a video of a fan reaction to Jeff Steven’s part so I gave it watch to see if I could hear the soundtrack. Mystery solved. It’s from the recently released A Happy Medium 2. The fan reaction video is pretty funny in and of itself. All we need now is for some enterprising person without a lot of pressing engagements to put together a splitscreen version that will be easier to watch than this. Watch ’em all after the jump. – Thanks to Sarib Khalsa for the tip.

Spotted at the Goodwill

I spotted this at the Beaverton Goodwill over the weekend. If you’re from the Pacific Northwest you can identify this shirt from across a crowded room, but if you aren’t you may need to see the enlargement.

Wishful thinking?

Spotted on the side of a Metro West ambulance in Portland, Oregon. If anyone else sees this in the wild, I’d like to post a picture showing placement on the whole ambulance. – Thanks to Josh Burt for the photo.
