Milking it, Trifecta style

In case you missed it, it’s Skreech at the Trifecta, skating a deck with the nose broken off. I’m not sure how you do that. In any case, don’t feel bad for him, he’s got his own model out on Addikt now. Enlarge-o-rama.

Reader DIY – The cradle will rock

Actually, I don’t think Kevin was a reader until after I profiled his garage minibowl, but I’m claiming it anyway. Check out the build and a video of the bowl in action after the jump. Where’s it at, where’s it at? A small town in Quebec. I’ll let him divulge if he wants.

Fake Salba vs Salba

Inset: An amusing fake Salba workout video. Good concept, a little sloppy on the follow through. Larger: Skating the wildfire pools of California with Salba. The first quarter is setup, but they get to the pool eventually. Watch them both after the jump.

– Thanks to ColinWalshRules for the tip.

For kids… and former kids

Judi Oyama is organizing a show called “Praise the Board” at Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History from September 4 – 27. There’s a skateboard contest being held in association with the exhibit on the 19th. The show is designed to showcase the talent of local Santa Cruz artists and how they have contributed to the worldwide success of skateboarding as a sport. This isn’t an official NHS function, it’s more a case of contributing artists tooting their own horn. The image above is one of the things Judi has collected in preparation.

Can’t make it Santa Cruz? Your generous benefactors at Skate and Annoy are working to bring the show to Portland after the run in Santa Cruz. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, contest details after the jump.
