I don’t know what the deal is with this Black Label Chris Troy ad in the April 09 issue of Transworld. Estes spotted it and sent in a blurry photo. I’m not sure how to respond to this. Surely someone in the marketing department should have googled “Skate and Annoy.” We’ve been mentioned in Thrasher as recently as the March 2009 issue, as early as 1988, and even made it into the 25 Year anniversary book. We’re certainly not famous, but come on… See the whole advert after the jump.

Kevin Decker aka KVON sent in some nice photographs of an estate sale score he picked up over the weekend, a 60’s era Nash skateboard/scooter. The logo says “Nash Surfboards.” I believe they sold the exact same thing without the handle. Looks like it’s in fine shape. This is one scooter I’d be proud to display.

Went to Ed Benedict today, had a lot of fun. It’s kind of boring because every bank is exactly the same, but on the converse side, there are lots of places to work on things, be you regular or goofy foot. Some complete assholes appear to have stolen a granite slab and some of the pool coping. Classic. I encourage a supreme level of narcing on the guilty parties if anyone ever sees it. I took two pictures of Kaden, and because I can’t edit myself, you get to see them both.

Hot off his recently filmed “interview” for GVK, Bryce Kanights is curating the Seen of Change skateboard photography show at the Portland space called Artery. Artists in the show include Grant Brittain, Joe Brook, Jon Humphries, Ryan Flynn, and Bryce Kanights. The opening is this Friday from 6-9, with live music from Ben Krahn. We’ll be there, and so should you. Dig that shot of Burnside up top, if you like that, you’ll appreciate this.

Joesf sent in some more video captures, this time from Hudson Hawk, circa 1991. I remember this scene vaguely. They used skateboards to roll past some bad guys quietly. I don’t know who made the Shark model, but it’s Guh-narly!

Well, it’s a sculpture of a helicopter made out of skateboards, except the front is a big skull. It’s part of a Japanese show called Harvest put on by NEW YORK – TOKYO. There’s an opening in New York on the 25th of March.

This image comes from the home page for the distance learning portion of the Portland Community College web site. Actually, now they are calling it “Distance Education.” No word on if this is an actual student or a stock photo, as well as whether it’s a boy or a girl. – Thanks to Mrs GVK for the tip.

Concrete Disciples has their own signature wheel on Spitfire. Seriously? Fug! We’re still working on our signature deal, but until then if you send us your wheels, I’ll take a black sharpie and write “Skate and Annoy” on them for free.

Chalk up another fake skateboard wheel accoutrement. I seem to recall Target had Spitfire wheels that were erasers around back to school time, some years ago. These wheels are for hiding a stash… You can look, but you can’t buy, from BoothSeven.com
