Seen of Change – Artery on Friday

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.

Bruce Willis skateboarding scene in Hudson Hawk

Hudson Hawk Shark

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!

Distance Learning for Pat

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.

Stash wheels

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

girl skateboards - plank series

Girl Plank Series

The Planks series of graphics by Girl Skateboards is an idea that is so simple I kick myself for not thinking of it. I saw a kid with the Koston board set up at Pier Park over the weekend, and it looked even cooler with the addition of real trucks on top of Ithe graphic. The image above is from their online catalog, but it’s not quite big enough to give you an idea of how great they look. I scoured the Interwebs™ for bigger pictures and managed to find four out of the six in the series. If anyone at Girl reads this, how about sending some pics?

GONE Geezers of New England

G.O.N.E.

Ever wonder what one of those prefab skateparks look like when they show up at the old tennis court? Well, me either, but I thought I’d take a look as long as someone already had pictures. Hopefully most of our readers won’t have to get any closer to prefab than the pictures on G.O.N.E., which stands for Geezers of New England. Nice acronym, (but it’s no H.O.M.O.S….) While I can’t condone getting excited about prefab, I did get a good chuckle out of the appropriation of the famous Sex Pistols graphic.
