Cheeburger Cheeburger Cheeburger

No Coke. Pepsi This Pepsi can hails from Greece, circa 1993. Limited edition, don’t you know? Mohawks, dogs and guitars on skateboards. Radical. I can’t believe Greece still used pull tabs on cans as late as 1993. If you don’t get the reference, look it up. Good luck finding a video. Effing Hulu…

Mike Ternasky Reflection: Plan B Legacy

Plan B is launching a video history of Plan B. This first segment is titled Mike Ternasky Reflection, Return of ‘The Team.’ In 1991 Mike Ternasky assembled one of the most dominant teams in the history of the sport and produced what many consider to be the best skate video of all time, Questionable. In […]

Excel – Unenslaved

I’m not fan of Excel (or Powerpoint for that matter.. Cue rim shot.) but at the very least, in 1995 they were well ahead of the curve paying respect to Dogtown. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip

Skaten is Verslavend

Well who am I argue? I’d have to translate it first. The A-side title needs no translation – Get Rad (With the right protection). Sounds like a description of a dorm room poster for safe sex, but no, it’s almost as titillating. Nothing excites an adolescent more than a pullout poster extolling the virtues of […]

Has been displayed in a cabinet since it was new so is in great condition. I will never have enough time or money to collect every […]

Frankie, Frankie, Frankie…

There’s a Frankie Hill interview of sorts over at Whatit.be. The ESL grammar is a bit distracting at times, but if you dig/dug Frankie Hill this is the latest bit out there, unless you head to Legion Skateboards. [Board Graphic: Vaskateboards.com]

James Bond Jr and Gordo on board

In 1991 there was an animated series based on a spinoff novel from Ian Flemming’s James Bond series. I just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the first time in… decades, and I was suprised to learn that it was also based on an Ian Flemming novel and produced by Albert R. Broccoli, the guy […]

Memory Screened

An interview with two big names in the 90’s era of skateboard graphics, Sean Cliver and Marc Mckee over on Memory Screened, a blog that appears to be entirely devoted to skateboard graphics, which is an awesome idea. Funny thing is, I have no idea who writes it. It’s described as: an archive for my […]

Mark Marc McKee book in the works

There’s a decent short interview with Mark McKee in advance of his new book Warning: The Art of Marc McKee. Let’s see, where is this interview… on, errr… ESPN? Guess so. Mark made his, err… mark on some of the most famous and infamous World Industries graphics. – Thanks to Eric Cherry for the tip.
