Skate and Annoy: Daily
Will it make you smile?
A while back I stumbled across some videos from these two jokers Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski, also known as Adam2. When I say jokers I mean that in a good way. These two clowns (again, in a good way) have made some interesting videos that often time border on the severely goofy. Let’s face it, they are not going to win any popularity contests over at Concussion. They definitely have more of a Concrete Wave with a little Dan Gesmer vibe going. Even if you don’t dig their style, one thing that definitely comes across is their originality in the pursuit of pure fun in skateboarding, on their own terms and completely unconcerned with mainstream skateboarding. Read the review.
Spot the bail.
Be the first one to spot the bail and win absolutely nothing, compliments of nobody. These shots were taken last night during a heated session in thee back bowl of the D.O.S.. It was pretty cutthroat for about a half an hour there.
Tony Hawk makes you puke!
If you are already figuratively sick of Tony Hawk, this summer you can be literally sick of him on Tony Hawk’s Big Spin. At first I thought this picture of Tony inverted in the rendering above was just for illustration purposes, but when you watch the virtual ride through you’ll see there really is a giant rotating cutout of Tony Hawk
Cash Money Vagrant – AntiHero – 2003

Grover’s Video Korner #5 – Sleestock 06
So here it is G.V.K.#5 this was great skate festival, boy that makes skating sound so lame. What I mean is if you don’t like this video, You should have probably stopped at the festival just up the road. The festival for “Creative Anachronisms” Ye old Pussy.
Design your own crappy skateboard
Design your own toy skateboard from 1982. Ugh. I guess if you aren’t going to spring for a real skateboard you might as well let your kid put his own crappy design on it instead having some corporate toy or movie tie in. Who is this mysterious ZR? I don’t know, but he must be fast!
Burnquist doesn’t have sh@!#t!
No. You are not seeing things. Bob Burnquist supposedly has the largest ramp, but it may not be as tall as this giant skateboard-looking contraption on roller coaster tracks. It’s supposed to be a snowboard, actually, but it sure looks more like a skateboard if you ask me. This ride opened in 2004 as near as I can tell. More pics and video links after the jump.
Nerdberg
This is a random shot of Matt Swan, Smith grind at Newberg Oregon, circa 2002. This is not a bail. This “kid” barely ever skates. We’re talking a handful of times a year, but he can still pull these super lapped over front sides at the drop of a hat. Infuriating! Click the pic to enlarge. Check out the woolly mammoth legs.
Lance Mountain on Old Man Army
15 questions for Lance Mountain compiled from the community over at Old Man Army. From the serious to the absurd, there’s a question in there (#14) that reminds me of something we would have asked in the early days of Skate And Annoy. Check it out.
Yeah, Hell’s Angels love us.
Emerica had a tour this summer where they travelled the whole thing on Harley-Davidson motorcycles for no other discernible reason than it was a chance for extra publicity. Well that, and I’m sure it was, you know, fun. Harley-Davidson stepped up to milk it for themselves by hosting the video and pictures, all the while being careful to note that “Harley-Davidson is not affiliated with these photos or the development of this video and is not responsible for the content or views expressed in it.” What a bunch of rebels!
