Skate News Roundup: October Week 2

Man this is tedious. There are a few good one though, such as Islam-Online.net taking notice of the skate-church movement. Does anyone care about these types of posts? Am I wasting my time? Let me know please.

bail

Local Newspaper Prints Embarrassing Bail Shots, Kids to get Disappointing Lesson in City Bureaucracy.

Hey Jake, your pictures in the paper! It’s a bad bail shot, oh snap! Photo Editor: Oooh, this is a good shot. There’s lots of action and excitement and good composition. Let’s use this one. OK. Moving on. Nothing conveys the excitement of skateboarding better than an article titled “Supervisors Rethinking Skate Park”! Who are these supervisors and what are they thinking?

Heat transfers suck

Heat Transfers Still Suck

It’s just my opinion. That’s all. Skateboards should be screen printed directly is all I am saying.

If you are waiting for your Black Label Emergency boards to ship, you shouldnt be waiting much longer. They ran into a problem with the transfer papers which caused a lag on getting them printed. They are supposed to be done and shipping any day now.

Halfpipe Honeyz

Halfpipe Honeyz??

I’ve looked at the website (www.halfpipehoneyz.com) but I still can’t figure out what it is or why. It appears to be a site for slutty models who can be booked for events. But it also has skatepark reviews. The latest one gives the Cocoa Beach, Florida park 4 out of 5 stars, and it’s obvioulsy written by a skater. WTF? They even have merchandise (including yoga pants, seen after the jump) and stickers. Anyone have the lowdown on this?

Will Powers 2004 DOS bowl

More Indoor

It’s Will Powers in the oft neglected D.O.S. bowl circa late 2004. Someone said they were resurfacing it. Anyone know if that’s true? I’d consult the web site but it looks like they haven’t updated it in a couple of years.

Tony HAwk Danny Way  skate game

Danny Way to Kick Tony Hawk’s Ass?

Retarded UK video game magazine Edge declares Danny Way better than Tony Hawk. Well, at least it does in a short magazine graphic. The article is about an upcoming Danny Way video game called “Skate” which is also supposed to be Better than Tony Hawk.

Dogtown in Dogtown Papers

Dogtown Era Over? Duh!

Ah the good old days. Remember that time when Heath Ledger threw all those surf boards at a young Tony Alva? It makes me want to move into a condo. Fortunately, the landlord of the locally famous building that housed the Zephyr Surf shop wants to see it developed into a mixed use facility; Strip malls and condos for everyone! Predictably, Jay Adams (ne De Mornay) mother Rebecca is leading a pack of whiny hippies that say the building is the heart and sole of Santa Monica. Yeah, and so is Huey Lewis when it comes to rock and roll.

Jason's indoor living room ramp

Missing In Action

Hey PDX locals, has anyone seen Jason lately? Sifting through some pics I came across this 2003 shot of him in his living room which he converted into a ramp. I haven’t seen him in a while. Over a year actually. More pics after the jump.

Baltic: Indoor ramp at Spank the Monkey art show

Monkey Spankers

I don’t know who first said “I don’t know art but I know what I like.“, but I like it when someone manages to get the money to build something skateable and pass it off for art. Apparently Dreamland feels the same way. Matt Sefton (See Newcastle feature) contributes another piece, this time a short bit about an art show at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead England called Spank the Monkey. At this point there are no skate pictures up at either site, so you’re better off checking out Matt’s pics here on SnA.
