I’ve seen these red and blue 3D images since I was a wee lad, but I just now learned there was a word for them. Dan Springer made two woodcut print blocks out of skateboards and used them to print an anaglyph. The boards and the print were sold at a charity auction. Very cool. Reminds me of the stereoscopic anaglyph issue of Contort (skate zine) that Dan Estabrook put out in the late 80’s. See what Dan Springer is up to at Skul Luxe.

You may have seen a post or two about fundraisers for Matt’s Bowl in Grant’s Pass, Oregon. Well here’s a look at what he did with some of that dough.

– Thanks to Larry Martin for the pics.

This week’s shot of the week comes from repeat offender Dylan Davies. Here’s a shot of his friend Jeremie at Bonsor skatepark in Vancouver B.C.. I don’t know if that’s lens flare or a light leak in the lower left hand corner, but it looks great. Check out the Shot of the Week

You know, I’ve been to the 80’s, and I never saw these Nerful toys the whole time I was there. They even had TV commercials. Nerfuls were basically balls with faces that sat in little stand. Think of it as an old school Weeble with a custom egg cup. Stewie and Campy Nerful came with a skateboard.

It stands for Brooklyn Street Skate Spot Shots, what else? Super funs spot. Easy to ride, but the tech guys can get all techy if they want. There is no drama with opposing build crews, just a miscommunication is all. On Saturday they raised over $150 bucks. I’m lobbying for a runway on the other side of the volcano so goofy footers can hit it frontside easier. Fun for all ages. Way to go guys.

If you’re in the Salem area today you’ll have a good chance to skate Trevor’s bowl (very nice) and stuff your gullet full of food and/or beer.

So im tryin to pour more concrete (like 12 yards worth) at my house and im havin a party to raise money i know its kinda late but if you could post somthin it would be awesome. 3$ for bbq and 6$ for bbq and kegs all you can drink and eat 1 pm to 11PM 1210 17 th St Ne Salem, OR 97301. Kids welcome. Come hang out and skate the bowl, and there’s a swimming pool with a pirate ship.

Meanwhile, closer to home. There’s a benefit BBQ this Saturday the 7th for the Brooklyn Street Skate Spot in Portland. I have to admit I chuckled when I first heard there was a benefit for this tiny spot. This picture is old, actually, but I just heard they’ve hit a snag. The original organizers were engaging the community, taking it somewhat slow. Apparently some individuals decided to kick it into overdrive without scoping out the situation, allegedly tearing up sidewalks (?) and as a result the cops (who were already in the loop) shut it down and the whole thing needs permits now. Pretty much all of the neighbors are on board except for one business owner, who appears to prefer broken glass, garbage and the occasional syringe to pastoral scenes like a mother reading a book on the steps while her son skates, nearly a week after the spot first appeared. True story.

Flyer after the jump. No alcohol please, they’re trying to present a positive image to the neighbors and the city.
