East Coast – Page 5 – Skate and Annoy

Streets On Fire screening Monday to benefit Jake Stults Memorial Fund.

Jake Stults died of brain injuries resulting from a skateboard accident. He was an Oregon resident and teacher who had ties to the New York/New Jersey hardcore scene. The benefit is to help his family deal with the massive medical bills incurred while trying to save his life. Even if you didn’t know him, it’s […]

Sleestak trademark infringement

Advertising for the Ford Fiesta disguised as street art. I wonder how little kids growing up are going to navigate through the land mines of Madison Avenue as they grow up. In a way I imagine it will roll right off their backs. Maybe it will make them more suspicious of everything. – Thanks to […]

Don’t shred on me (yet)

More pictures from a backyard pour in the woods of Maine, thanks to Thomas Dupere.

Deep in the woods of Maine

I posted this one on East Coast time, just for our readers from Maine. Thomas Dupere sent in a couple pictures of a basement bowl and the beginnings of some DIY crete in the woods. I think they planning to pour this weekend.

I’m 37, I’m not old

Another newspaper story, this one from The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the shocking fact that people over 30 years-old are regularly riding skateboards. There are some interesting details about how they organized and paid for their indoor facility and I did enjoy reading: “Skating doesn’t make you a skateboarder,” he says, quoting Lance Mountain, a skateboard […]

Ghost Parking Lot missing

This installation known as Ghost Parking Lot existed in Hamden, Connecticut from 1978 to 2003 (or 2007, depending on the source) yet somehow never ended up in a skate video or photo layout in a skate magazine, at least not that I am aware of. If it did, someone please enlighten me. This looked like […]
