I hate this band. I hate the music actually, but I saw a Behind the Music episode on them that made me change my opinion of them. They seem like decent enough fellows that had a dream, went for it, and actually made it. The music, not so great. Another image from the Vintage T-Shirts book by Lisa Kidner and Sam Knee.

KC propped a video camera on a rock while he pitched in to help with Lincoln City 5. Check out the vid after the jump. Looks like no fun. no fun at all. Dude! Stop blowing out the public skateparks!

The audio interviews are flying. The “brain” behind Bacon Skateboards has a radio show on pdx.fm. He’s on the internet air live on Thursdays at 2pm Pacific time. He’s got five shows under his belt, most of the guests have something to do with skateboarding. He’s had George Cutright the current team manger from Adidas, and our own Mark Conahan. The interviews are only a half hour and are a good listen even if you have no idea who the person is. I’m working my way backwards through them. I made it to Jeremy Robert Johnson, which is a good one. I’m going to check out some of his books. The point is… GVK interviewed live today at 2pm.

Still need your fix of skaters from Michigan? Check out the John Doe ZIne interview of Bill Tocco and Bill Danforth.

Yes.

Thanks to an update from MC, you can now view the animation outtakes from the surf movies this graphic was taken from.

This t-shirt is for sale over at Palmer Cash, but it’s imprtant to know that MC crystallized this idea in 2007.

Thanks to Ryan Coulter for this image.

Well, here it is. Alternate views of this GVK family heirloom after the jump. He’s had this thing for years.

The crew at the Windells Camp has been busy. There are a couple of characters named Jamie and Billy who have been busy with the concrete. When finished, it will be 28,000 a square foot park. They have a 12,000 square foot indoor facility, and about 15,000 square feet in assorted skate trail-type terrain, so that would make them the largest skatepark in Oregon, unless you’re going to split hairs. Enlarge-o-rama, then head on over to Windells.
