This week’s Shot of the Week is from Steve Potwin, who captured Steve Caballero on the monolith at San Jose’s Lake Cunningham skatepark. I actually saw this on Caballero’s blog. You need to see the full frame shot to get a sense of how GNARLY this is. Check out the Shot of the Week. And then go see Potwin on MySpace, he’s got more pictures and some animated sequences too.

Friend of the site Weirdo Skateboards is also one of the sponsors of a contest series at Lake Cunningham skate park. More info at sjparks.org, or check the flier after the jump. I hear that Cab is a regular there. Sure would be a bummer to have to skate against him, huh?

Looks like we’ve actually got a full week. I was going to make it a “working week” since I usually don’t post on the weekends, but Addikt Skateboards has ponied up a full seven days of Skreech on the Full Bloom Tour. These shots are from a pool in Central Valley, or maybe the central Valley? Whatevs. Check it out after the jump. UPDATE: Added some bonus detail shots of the pool.

This is Weirdo Skateboards rider, test pilot and representative Tom Beeson The photo was shot by Dwayne Sackey at the Berkeley Skatepark in Berkeley, CA. Get some hot, weird action.

There are a bunch of renderings of the Newline street plaza project found over at Deluxe. I don’t know if it’s the low contrast color palette or what, but I’m having a hard time getting a feel for this park. The

I know this is a long shot, but has anyone heard the rumor that people are skating in the pools of homes that are in foreclosure? This is a close up of a shot of Broken Magazine editor Nick Gates taken in San Clemente, California, as shot by Peanut. Issue #9 of Broken is available for download. Yes, I’m going to make you click on through to see the full frame shot. Check out the Shot of the Week.

We love to help out our less fortunate neighbors in such skateboard repressive states as, uh, California? From the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC): As many of you know, IASC has been working tirelessly for many years to change the laws affecting California’s public skateparks.  We were previously able to extend the bill which protects public skateparks, but in doing so, had to make some concessions in the bill. Recently IASC has been working to remove the outdated clause under which skateparks must require elbow and knee pads to be worn while skating in public skateparks. That’s right, according to state law, you must wear elbow and knee pads at public skateparks. I know thi law isn’t enforced everywhere, but it still needs to go. Apparently the repeal has passed the State Assembly 76-0, which is stellar news, but it still has to pass through the senate. If you live in California and want to find out how how to help the effort, visit the IASC site for details. However, If you want some super stylish kneepads, check out these licensed Speed Racer knee pads with clear caps that double as Speed’s visor. Pretty cool actually, especially in combination…

It looks like Buck Lasek has California Skateparks building him a big old bowl in on his property in Encinitas, California. You can check out some more pictures and video at the Vans web site. It looks… big, but I think this private bowl will have more character. Characters, if you count GVK. -Thanks to Mac for the tip. [Source: Concrete Disciples]

“Hey I just moved out of town and now I’m living in a state that’s lousy with homes in foreclosure and empty pools. My pump isn’t working… waaaah! If you’re going to have a gallery of unskateable pools, why not show some skateboard ready ones too?” Thanks a lot man. I really feel for you, Runaway.

This is from the April 1990 issue of Poweredge Magazine, hot off the scanner. And if you think that’s hot, there’s a contest going on right now at Upland. Wait, Del Mar? Help me out here…
