Switch Wilson or Fakie Wilson?
You be the judge. Watch this reporter take a hard slam on a skateboard while interviewing a BMX guy for the Dew Tour. Perhaps she should have gotten skateboard advice from a skateboarder instead. This happened on a local Portland newscast and somehow we got scooped. Catch this video without annoying aftermarket sound effects or Ebaums’ World screen tattoo after the jump.
Sit-N-Skate
For more photos of the Sit-N-Skate, head on over to Skateboarding Sucks. It looks like Destructo is the truck of choice for homebrew kooky skateboard manufacturers. I’m drawing a blank on why you would need a skateboard truck (or any wheels for matter) on this sitting device for roller skates. Maybe I just lack vision. To dream, the impossible dream.
Cirque De Soleil hiring a street skater. (Attention Daniel Gesmer!!)
Cirque De Soleil is hiring a street skater. “We are currently seeking a Skateboard – Street Specialist for our new production at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York city. Please note that we are not looking for Ramp’s specialists. ” This sounds like Daniel Gesmer’s dream job, and they are hiring immediately. [Source: Skate-Bulletin-Board]
He did it.
When he’s not out skating or contributing to Skate And Annoy, Danimal is doing it, (It! IT!) which reminds me of the time Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me. Congrats to Dan and his wife on the birth of Lina Anzu Glowicki, who I assume is regular foot.
Iggy Pop marries Bam Margera
In a ceremony in Massachusetts… Actually, that’s not true. Iggy Pop didn’t marry or enter into a domestic partnership with Bam. He didn’t even perform the ceremony, he just performed at the ceremony. When I got married, all I could afford was an Elvis impersonator. The Stooges have a new album coming out. Word is that Mike Watt is filling in on bass. I wonder if Iggy has a Blue Hawaiian package. Also present at the wedding was Tony Hawk, although I’m not sure if he performed anything. Still intertested in Bam’s wedding? He’s so classy he had it videotaped for another reality TV show on MTV. There are links after the jump.
Britain’s worst skatepark?
Milton Keynes is pretty progressive when it comes to sports. Heck, they even have korfball facilities(?!). After achieving a high level of success with a street park built at the Central Bus Station, the city or village or town of Milton Keyes (UK) decided to build a bowl park, and apparently traveled back in time to the 70’s to do so. Then there’s the strange metal rods sticking up in the middle of the shallow. Bike racks? I don’t know. Must be street style. Seriously though, this is tragic. The bus station project was unique in that they added marble skate structures to an already popular skate spot that was not meant to be. That’s a great approach. Instead of cracking down on street skaters on public property, lets make the spot more attractive. It’s been done before, and I’m all for it. Feeling emboldened, they (Milton Keynes )… I’m at a loss for words to explain this. [Source: Crossfire]
Truce in the War on Blanks?
Really, why do we need a War on Blanks? I mean look at this specimen purchased 5 years ago from a major sports retailer that just recently declared bankruptcy. Man, the owner of this deck sure was pissed when he got ready to ride his brand new deck and found out he had been sold a regular foot board instead of a goofy foot board. He didn’t realize it until he went for his first frontside indy and caught his jib in his heel-side shin guards. Folks, this photo has not been retouched. See it full frame after the jump.
OVER IT!!!!!
Tyson the Skateboarding Bulldog and the Puehse Twins. Yes, both are amazing and talented, and over exposed on the web. If you’re not sick of them yet, you will be when you’re done reading this… Oh, did I forget? Bam Margera!
