OK, first this month I want to clarify some things. Namely, what Baywatch is and what it is not. It is a column where I list skateboard related auctions that caught my eye the previous month on eBay. It is completely random: I cover what I find interesting, unusual or funny. It is not a price guide and was never meant to be one. I guess because I list the final auction price people sometimes use it in that way, but that is not the prime purpose. If a definitive price guide is what you are looking for, then you are looking in the wrong place. If not, then check out the June 2007 eBay Watch.

So yeah, now that we were on TV we are all too busy taking lunch meetings at Spago to update the site. All in all, our Attack of the Show profile went off about the best we could have expected, considering the show’s target audience. I’d say it was a fairly benign appearance and it didn’t make us look stupid. This has nothing to do with the fact that we did garner the top spot, after all. There were a few factual misrepresentations – I’m completely unaware of our supposed nationwide skatepark rating system. Maybe they were thinking of different site. Commentary, video clips of the entire segment, and the Skate and Annoy proflie with a special outtakes segement exclusive to SnA after the jump.

The Curve Extreme Sport is just a design concept now, but if it ever gets produced it will be another in a long series of over-engineered and likely very expensive skateboards. The biggest feature is that the traditional trucks have been replaced with a system that places one elongated footbal-shaped wheel on the front and the back. The effect is half Z-Roller truck, half flowboard. I know this is just a guy (Gary Chang) exercising the left half of his brain a little, so there’s no need to tear this thing apart. That won’t stop me from pointing out a few obvious flaws and showing you some more pics after the jump. [Source: Yanko Design]

Rich said they are even further along today. Can’t wait. More shots after the jump.

Skate Montana sent in this announcement for the Great Montana Skate Race being held on August 11th in Dillon, home of the figure eight skatepark we mentioned about a year ago. I’m not sure if it qualifies as park slalom or bordercross, but I’ll bet it’s a blast. Old Grover is always trying to start impromptu races around the outside of Oregon’s parks. I’ll bet he’s jonesing for GVK coverage of this event. Dillion links and vid after the jump.

If you live in the Puget Sound area then your well aware of this 5th Annual Sea Fair BBQ Jam, if your outside that massive metro area- then this is for you. Its not a contest, brought to you by Matt Levens at NW Snowboards (Tacoma) fame. Pile into the car, and show up- it’s all about fun.

Errr… I forgot to mention this. We’re going to be featured on a TV show called Attack of the Show on the G4 channel. I kind of forgot about it because we were supposed to be on earlier but got bumped for the iPhone. (The nerve!) Attack of the Show is described as a “daily show covering the hottest in film, TV, games, gear and music.” It’s like a TV version of Details Magazine for computer geeks, with a little bit of FHM thrown in via a sprinkle of titillating subject matter and a sassy female co-host. They have a blog coverage segment, and we’ve been chosen to appear. I have no control over what they say or show, but given the mainstream media’s quality history of skateboard culture coverage, I’m sure there is nothing to worry about. I’m crossing my fingers anyway. It airs tonight, Wednesday, July 18, at 7PM & 11PM ET/PT. Find it on your cable/satellite provider. Now if only there was some sort of forum to highlight such appearances…
