Travis Pastrana has a show coming out on MTV. This looks like it might have been filmed for that. Yes, a mega ramp jump on a Big Wheel, with a back flip thrown in for good measure. Nutty. Watch the jump and a bonus vintage TV commercial for Big Wheels after the jump. Trike and Annoy! – Thanks to Sarib Khalsa for the tip.

What good is having friends if you can’t post embarrassing photos of them? Check out the full size Shot of the Week. You know who you are man, and more importantly, what you are… Radical!

GVK found this gem: During my endless search for good skate videos from my era, I ran across the dream video and job. This actually happened to a friend of mine and yours try and guess who. The guy in the video is a better skater than him. Who could it be? We can’t host adult content on our site, not that I’d really care to anyway. The good part, or at least the part that relates to skateboarding is excerpted and safe for work. There’s some great, uh, dialogue in the movie, and it’s clear that while the male lead may be Woody Harrelson’s developmentally challenged, mongo pushing younger brother, he does skate, or at least used to at some point.

Nothing beats a good dork session, except a dork session with some good skating. This is a clip from Beez III – Unusual Protocol. You can buy the whole thing on DVD combined with parts one and two over at beez.wiskate.com, which leads me to believe this crew is from Wisconsin. See, I told you I love the Midwest. Check it out after the jump. [Source: EPM]

As seen on the Skaterbuilt Skateboards MySpace page, as posted a mystery user going by the profile M.

You know we don’t post a lot of slam videos here, but every once and a while I don’t have time one comes along that makes the grade. I believe this one debuted at the Springfield Film Festival and finished behind Hans Moleman’s entry. – Thanks to Mac for the tip.

This week’s Shot of the Week is from Halloween at Burnside last year. I’m not sure if I’m going today, I just don’t have a thing to wear! in any case there’s always last year’s shots, and of course, GVK’s Halloween Hodads. Check out the Shot of the Week.

You’ve all heard of the Goofy vs. Regular foot contest, but here’s an amusing twist. Skatepark of Baltimore “Baggy vs Tight” Skate Contest at the “Pants Ramp.” On Sunday, October 5th The S.O.B. held a skate contest on the pants ramp, Baggy pants skaters vs. Tight pants skaters. They had heats and eliminations narrowing it down to five riders representing each side then they squared off for the best run. The video is mostly useful for getting a look at the Pants ramp that was “accidentally” torn down by city officials. They must have got it put back up. – Thanks to Stepahanie Murdock for the tip.

Here at Skate and Annoy, we recognize that many of our readers, particularly in the Midwest, are facing a difficult time in the life of a skater: the preparation for winter. Many are squeezing sessions in before the snow, ice, or rain sets in. The winter alienates many riders who recognize snowboarding and snow skating, as pictured above from The Snow Life, as insufficient substitutes for skateboards. Each year, skaters fall out of practice and even quit skateboarding after they recognize that their “summer legs” have atrophied into wonky and clumsy appendages by the end of the winter. Many tears are shed over the tremendous task of re-learning even simple maneuvers, such as ollies. For those who are considering measures to simulate a real skateboarding experience, check this out. The folks at wikiHow.com were kind enough to the skateboard community to post an instructional on how to create a diy pseudo-skatespot in your own backyard. Unfortunately for skaters, however, this idea is crap.
