At long last we’re finally shipping some substandard manufactured goods to China instead of receiving them. The Fanling Vert Ramp in Hong Kong being perpetrated by American Ramp Company. It’s prefab concrete, which I gotta say kind of makes sense to me. I mean, if you’re going to build a concrete vert ramp, prefab might be the way to go since uniformity is more desirable than creative artistry, assuming they have the skills to set it up right. Look at the size of those vert panels. This thing looks like a beast, although at that height it’s going to seem narrow. – Thanks to Chad Balcom for the tip.

More like biannual annoying kid. This one comes from Colin Walsh, who reminds us that the BCSA benefit show is coming up soon. So this kid was pan handling. I’m broke too, but I’ve got a 20 year master plan to make massive riches by selling this website to the ghost of Steve Rocco. Like they say with the lottery here in Oregon, for entertainment only, not for investment purposes. So yeah, be entertained by this guy.

Roving reporter John Agular spotted this lovely Vision Street Wear scooter. So, yeah, looking forward to seeing how the VSW reissue scooters sell on eBay in 20 years. Reminds me of a hilarious bumper sticker that showed up on eBay in 2004. Kind of a niche joke, which makes all the more appealing to the nerd that runs this site.

Old man Marek hanging with his son Radek at Gabriel park. I had not skated with Marek for some time. He is solid as ever and still retains his good looks how can this be. Well it is. Editors Note:GVK has a new home in the features section. You can comment there. Just as with eBay Watch, the comments aren’t showing up on the sidebar here, but they will be integrated soon-ish. In the mean time, enjoy the new larger video format.

Arthur Lindsey is curating an exhibit at Artery called Mercury 7 and the New 9 featuring Dave Carnie, Ashley Anson, Russ Pope, Salvador Perdomo, Ray Gordon, Kim Hamblin, Todd Bratrud, Roger Seliner, Chris Johanson, David Petersen, Andy Jenkins, Jason Adams, Chris Corales, Johanna Jackson, Chris Pastras and Sam Coomes. More info after the jump.

So the weird thing about this Palyboy TV video of nekkid girls skateboarding isn’t that they actually know how to carve in a bowl, ( one of them at least ) but that SkateLab is trying walk the tightrope between marketing products for kids at Target and Walmart, and providing a backdrop for adult videos. This Playboy TV sequence is pretty asexual, but I’m pretty sure there has been at least one really adult film made there. I thought I posted about it but I couldn’t find it. Helmet’s off to the management though, in theory that shouldn’t be a conflict of interest at all. For anyone keeping track, this isn’t Playboy’s first foray into naked skateboarding. – Thanks to Marek Litinsky, Greg Baller and Aaron Shims
