Blown Out – Skate and Annoy

JR Neves – R.I.P.

East coast favorite and former Spitfire pro JR Neves passed away saturday, still no official cause of death. This is a detail from a Brooks Fritz shot of Neves at FDR back in 2005. Be sure to check out the whole image at Skateboard-revolution.com. Deluxe has posted an old video part as well.

Blown out with pinpoint accuracy

I’ve recently gotten two emails promoting different skate spot maps on the web. The idea is that you sign up and add spots in your area, and if you are traveling you can find spots on the way. I suppose the idea is useful for the casual skate tourist. Say you’re in a town on […]

Spot Check: Hawaii

House of Neil has some shots of a massive drainage ditch at Kahalui airport on Maui that came up in reader comments a week ago. No action shots, just landscapes.

Uncool Pools: Media Conspiracy

Do you remember the pool that Mark and I caught a lot of flack for riding repeatedly? I had to laugh when I saw a full page shot of Al Partanen in the latest Concussion – #39: The Photo Issue. Apparently Davoud and photog BK didn’t get the memo about that place not being cool. […]

Why was he on mainstream TV again? Because he recently returned to competition (at the X Games in Dubai – No, really!) again after taking […]

Over it – Old dudes still skating

These articles about old guys who are still skating are still being generated. The latest one from the San Francisco Chronicle it titled “Shredding Again: In which we chronicle midlife skateboarders and their return, to be schooled by 6-year-olds.” It’s a fairly lengthy article, and includes the now obligatory video piece and photo gallery, except […]
