Bad Brains - Rootz Beer

Bad Brains – Rootz Beer

When they aren’t busy trying to get me to advertise, the folks at Punk Radio Cast have teamed up with extreme sports friends Jones Soda to release some limited edition labels in a variety pack. They “collaborated” with five artists, including the Bad Brains, and four other bands you don’t care about. Considering the potential, it’s a weak execution.

Skate and Annoy T-Shirts

It’s all in the merch

Here’s the answer to everyone who’s been clamoring for t-shirts, well at least that one guy… Skate and Annoy merchandise booth is now open. These aren’t phantom t-shirts either. They actually exist in a big box in my living room.

Price: $15 for the first one. $10 each additional.
Shipping: $5 flat fee for up to 3. (Canada $7 USD)

Buy a shirt and help me make my mortgage payment this month. Failing that, how about giving me a job? I’ve sunk low.

Buy and Destroy!

NOTE: To the guy who sent in the gushing fan mail for the GVK stickers a long time ago,we had something special planned for you, but I lost the envelope with your name/address. Send me an email with a brief recap of you letter, so I’ll know it’s actually you.

Reader summer D.I.Y. projects

Now that MC’s bowl is in the finishing stretch, here’s something else to follow. Josef Heffner has demoed his DIY backyard bowl complex and in favor of a new expanded layout. Nearby, Danimal is working on building his own board press, to be constructed with veneer he plans to buy here. If you’ve got something you’re working on, we’d love to hear from you too.

Skateboard Action… continued

A couple more pages from the 1987 Skateboard Action book, thanks again to Hood River’s photog in residence, Carl Warren. Click to enlarge. You might notice that the photo has been retouched heavily, airbrushed to make it look a little like a painting. This is pre photoshop kids. I wonder why they went through the trouble.

Brain Injury Association of America -skateboard helmet

Brain Injury Association of America

The Brain Injury Association of America wants you to wear a helmet while skateboarding. Who knew there was such an association? Do you have to have a brain injury to join, or do they give you one when sign up? Maybe someone with brain damage chose the name, because it sounds like an organization in favor of brain injuries. It’s obvious that the art director who chose this skateboarding butt shot had a brain injury. “Mom, Dad, I’m going to be on a poster!” – Thanks to Danimal for the photo.

sims-mega-collection

For Sale: The golden age of Sims

Let me just nip this in the bud, don’t send me an email asking me to highlight your auction, because I won’t do it, unless it’s a collection of 23 NOS Sims boards from the 70’s and early 80’s, like this one. Wow. 9 days to go and $4k, but it hasn’t reached the minimum yet. I would have thought you could make more money by parting these decks out, but The Skateboard Pimp must be in a hurry. Nice, big photos of the entire collection. Check it out.

– Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

P.S.: Did you guys forget about the May eBay Watch?
