Listen. Read the title of on the masthead. If anyone is qualified to judge the most annoying skate video, it’s us. Sorry YouTube user eatshit508, but I don’t think your video is the most annoying by far. Sure, some of the kids need to take a couple steps out of their sequences and maybe speed things up a bit. However I think the director approaches this video with the appropriate amount of levity. Watch the video after the jump, plus a bonus clip of what might actually be the most annoying skateboard video. How did this end up in the “Skate” category instead of “Annoy?”

Head on over to Fish Tacos to check out a fun backyard bowl in San Francisco. These things seem to be popping up everywhere. Why don’t you have one? Can I come over with 15 of my closest friends?

What do you call this, a slob sweeper? Who is this guy? Where is he skating? What would posses him to get inked on his shins? Ask Old Man Army. (Link Fixed)

OK, We might lose a few readers with this post, but the Zombie Jesus pro model from Creature made me chuckle. It reminded me of those equally tasteless but funny rock concert t-shirts from the 80’s that said “Adolf Hitler World Tour.” The best part was on the back where it listed the tour dates and locations. The England entry said “Cancelled.” I’m actually kind of surprised Creature is selling these. I’m guessing they hope to avoid too much controversy by keeping them limited to 500 pieces. Or possibly, the artwork is so crappy, that’s all they think they can sell. This board gets an “A” for the concept and a “C minus, minus” for execution. Really. It looks like hell. Actually, the only thing keeping this board from being completely uninteresting (aside from the whole blasphemy thing) is the marketing. It’s being released on Good Friday and You can’t “Passover” this insanse-o limited release.

The premiere issue of Craft Magazine featured artist Jenny Hart supposedly embroidering a skateboard. I actually have this issue, It’s not really embroidered, she just drills and laces the edge like a souvenir indian belt. Actually that might be pretty cool for grabs, like one of those steering wheel covers from Pep Boys. Not so good for slides though. To her credit, she points that out in the article. Pretty good magazine. From O’Reilly those tech publishers who also produce Make.

It’s about time. Steve Rocco is probably the guy who single handedly did the most to change the face of the skateboarding industry. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny his impact. Whyte House productions is making a documentary on Steve Rocco titled The Man Who Souled the World. It looks like they are already in bed with World Industries, so they could have the best chance of actually getting the dirt from and on Steve. [Source: The Hot Crew]

I received more spam from Chinese skateboard manufacturer. Not very remarkable except for a few things. The first thing I noticed was a picture of an assembly line for completes. Are those children or small women on the line? Look at the shot of the factory. I swear those are soldiers guarding the entrance to the plant. Also interesting, you can buy blanks for under $6. American skateboard manufacturing is doomed.
