This is either the absolute best or worst skateboard toy ever. I’m leaning towards best, and I actually want one. New from Action Sports Toys, it’s the Ryan Sheckler action figure. You have to check out the videos to see how cool these things actually are, as far as the, errr, simulation tiny skateboarding goes. I’m not sure where this falls in the hierarchy of fingerboarding. I mean, who is the biggest dork, the guy who spends hours and hours perfecting his fingerboarding technique, or the guy who goes for instant gratification with an almost anamatronic action figure? When I get mine, I’ll let you know. – Thanks to GN for the tip.

The concept is so out there, I don’t know if it even qualifies as a wacky skateboard anymore. I’d love to see one of these things get built. If it does, you can bet it will show up on Dydreks Fantasy Factory. The LOOP IN looks like an excellent way for someone to get hurt. No brakes! LOOP-IN is a concept transportation system crafted by combining the surfing and the skate facility. The rider can enjoy the ultimate speed on the wheels and can do some surfing acrobatics at the same time. While the wheels can rotate on almost any type of surface, the plate will rotate in its interior independently. It is like pushing by a wave continuously. Initially, the rider will have to acquire the abilities to dominate the control of these wheels on any kind of lands and at the same time learning to keep balance inside the wheels is a must. Therefore, all range of adventure lovers will like the combination of these two sports activities when riding on LOOP-IN. – Thanks to Johnny Lzr for the tip.

Skate harassment at it’s best. Check it out after the jump.

We’re changing our direction to all BMX, all the time! And it’s not even April 1st. Spotted in the wild at Toy-R-Us. Enlarge-o-rama. Bonus reader pic after the jump.

Here’s a couple photos from something called the Supergirl Jam that was recently held in Venice Beach. They had a snowboard rail event with trucked in snow, a skateboard contest and an inline skating contest. Ladies please, if you want to be taken seriously, ditch the rollerblades. You’re so far behind the curve on this one that you might be ahead of the curve. You know, for the next big, uh, resurgence of inline skating… Supergirl Jam related post: Supergirl comic book skateboard cover. Albany heads – Hold your horses, I’m still waiting on a few pics.

Another day, another iPod, another skateboarding video. iPod Nanos now have the ability to shoot video, among other things, and the video recording information page features skateboarding. The actual video footage shown is decent enough, with the exception of the overacting by the guys in it. It’s kind of funny, actually. Someone at the ad agency has watched some skateboarding clips on YouTube, or possibly looked over their offspring’s shoulder as they watched a skate video. You can almost imagine them advising the cast of the shoot on how to make it “realistic.” It has a little bit of that cellphone video quality, probably due to the liquid lens the camera uses. It’s a bit warpy when the camera moves, but it’s not bad for an mp3 player. You can watch it on the Apple site. After the jump, view the iPhone 3Gs TV commercial that features a miniramp.

It’s “I” day. We covered the I Tattoo a back in 2006, but I’ve been getting a lot of repeat tips on this one, and this picture is actually different from the advertising we featured before. The original source on this is something called People of Walmart. – Thanks to Brock Essick, Thomas Roszkowsk and others for the tip.

I stacked pretty hard to the flat at MC’s bowl earlier tonight (Wednesday) so I’m self medicating instead of compiling Thursday’s posts. BTW, this post is fueled by Vicodin and Strongbow cider in a can.
