Extreme Nuns
Yes, well, sometimes there isn’t a lot to say about things, as is the case with Atomic Wedgie TV’s Extreme Nuns. I guess if I had to say one thing it would be that Atomic Wedgie TV doesn’t know the definition of the term “acid drop.” Watch the vid after the jump. [Source: Skateboarding Jesus]
Hoverboard Holly
Here’s a hoverboard shot from a Photoshop contest for “Coolest toy ever” on Worth 1000. I thought it might be one of mine at first, but it turned out to be an EPM shot of Holly Lyons from Rich’s 2007 Trifecta Lincoln City coverage. Rich’s pics have been getting poached by the Photoshoppers lately, and even though it must be somewhat annoying, this is a pretty funny end result. – Thanks to Sheltered Productions for the tip.
Happy Easter
For some people this is one of the second most important holidays. Of course I’m talking about little kids looking forward to getting the second largest candy haul of the year. Watch the Easter Bunny skateboarding after the jump. You get exactly one guess as to who this is.
William Spencer In Color
I’m sure there are people out there that can’t stand this guy, but I could watch him skate all day long. I guess that makes me gay. Shades of Simon Woodstock for sure, but without the all the stage props. This is William Spencer’s part from The Denver Shop’s latest video In Color which you can pick up for $16. He gets bonus points for using the theme from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. Now if someone could put him on a team with this guy and this guy and this guy… [Source: Boardistan]
Old school MVP
Spotted on Flickr, this Russian postcard has a caption that roughly translates to: When Gosha received a new skateboard he thought it was the best present in the world. However, within half an hour he realized that the best present would be new frontal teeth. Unlike the monkey made famous in Big Brother who appeared with Ryan Sheckler and Bob Bunquist in MVP2: Most Vertical Primate, this monkey doesn’t need a special snowboard style binding for his front foot. My three year oid kid would watch that damn movie 24-7 if I’d let him.
Some of us are looking at the stars
Unfortunately, for every morally uplifting tale, there are about five or more human beings who are still just living in the gutter. There was an 80’s English skate rock/hardcore band called the Coolest Retards, these guys after the jump definitely fit half of that bill.
Old School Skateboarding Slams
Just like the title says; it’s Old School Skateboarding Slams from the northern Indianapolis area, circa ’87-90. Nothing in it stands out as spectacular, but taken as a whole it’s got a big warm, fuzzy vibe. My favorite slam starts at the 1:35 mark. It’s way off in the background and doesn’t make a good screen capture, so I went with my second favorite slam that happens immediately after. GVK said he felt like he could have been at any one of these sessions. Watch the whole thing after the jump.
Ropeboarding should be a crime
Hell yeah! Grab your stick, head on out to the tree in your back yard and freakin’ GET SOME!!!!!!!!!!! Ropeboarding is where it’s at man. You don’t need a lift ticket or a skatepark pad nanny telling you what to wear. Here’s the deal. Hang a rope from a tree. Cut a hole in a skateboard and feed the rope through. Tie a knot on the bottom of the rope so you can stand on it. Attach a waterski handle a little bit higher than your head. Swing around on the rope, hold onto the handle and pretend to do early grab airs on your skateboard. Varial city! The best part is where your buddy inevitably catches it on video when the rope or branch breaks. [Source: Instructables]
Friday T&A on S&A: Trick Tips from Versus
We got a page of trick tips from Versus Magazine. It’s all very NSFW, as you can see from the example above. Who knew a skate zine could have Playmates? Skate and Mate did, actually. I’m sure you can guess what the Stale Fish grab looks like. If you can’t, head on over to the Versus archives and find issue #28.
Watch out for Ogre (and Alligators)
There are a couple of interesting guys (Nerrrrrrds!) on this site called Crazy Builders. It’s kind of like a show you migtht expect to see on the Discovery Channel. They wanted to build a fan powered skateboard, and they did, except the fan is made from a high powered RC plane engine, and it’s open in the back. I’d hate to have a wipeout and end up on the wrong side of that cage… Anyway, just like the site says, it’s good fun in the name of science. Although the science connection is a little weak here. I like the guy in the video. He had the good sense to dress like a scientist and make his skateboard fan boat in the shape of a bomb. Skateboards, science and wacky hats after the jump.
