Asda Superstore, the UK equivalent of a Walmart is selling these skateboarding garden gnomes for £5 a piece, which begs the question, why make a skateboarding garden gnome? Well, why not? I actually think it’s kind of funny, although It would have been better if it looked like a garden variety (ouch) gnome. I’d like him to be less conspicuous, just standing there with his board against his side. Still, if I was in the UK I’d pony up 8 bucks for one of these. I mean. look at this web site… You’re damned right I watermarked that photo. – Thanks to Andy Turner for the tip.

Yeah.. I’m at a loss about this one. Man About Town is a magazine with “Babes, bikes, battleships, booze, burgers, boards & beastly behaviour” but then this video sure is an odd one. I was intrigued with the juxtaposition of stlyes and eras, and ready to give it a thumbs up based purely on the execution of the concept, but the major continuity blunder in going from penny loafers to Vision Street Wear high tops bummed me out. I might have to invent an S&A award just so I can give it to this video. Make no mistake, I love it that people feel a need to make skateboarding videos like this. I wonder if Kilian Martin turned up to the shoot with a European carryall for a skatebag… Has anyone seen this magazine? I mean, I know people have seen it, but I’m asking our readers.

Usually you go to a department store to buy something instead of buying the Dept on Craigslist. Skateboarders need a place to skate, and in that place they need this bowl! The Department of Skateboarding has left their space in NE PDX to open up shop in a new location. Please help us find a home for this iconic piece of Portland skate history. We have a quote from a demo company that can assist in deconstruction, moving and reassembly for a fee. Price is negotiable. Bowl Details: – 6′ and 8′ deep sections – 50′ x 60′ footprint with surrounding raised deck area – Fully wood framed with plywood decking and OSB face – Tiled top edge underneath the coping – Thanks to Colin for the tip.

This week’s Shot of the Indeterminate Time Span is a photo of Craig Platteter at the OTC bowl in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Photo by Augie Van Arx. Check it out.

There was a tradition of converting old waterskis into skateboards that seems to have fallen by the wayside in this millennium, but someone over at Deep is keeping it alive. This was just a personal project, these guys also make those artisan longboards. the web site is a little maddening because there’s no indication of who, what, or where Deep is, outside of some vague manifesto, but hey, I guess that’s art.

This is a recent advert for Stumptown Coffee that appeared in the Portland Mercury. It’s not the first skateboard themed ad they’ve run. I chopped out some negative space in this to make it take up less vertical space here. My apologies to the artist Tim Root. – Thanks to MC for the tip.

Not to be confused with SNA sponsor Weirdo Skateboards, I love the Weirdos. This is the 1979 single for Adulthood / Skateboard To Hell which can be yours if you want to pony up $80.
