Jordy?

The rabbit holes I fall into… A reader sent in a picture inquiring about a 70’s skateboard he found that had a “Jordy” logo screen printed on the bottom. I felt pretty cocksure that I’d be able to track down an old advert or something. It seemed to me to be an English brand, or […]

Alex Cooper in Cosmopolitan

I saw this in issue in an airport but I didn’t get a chance to flip through it. Alex Cooper is the host of an apparently very popular podcast titled Call her Daddy. This is one of the covers from the November 2023 issue of Cosmopolitan, which based on a promo video might also contain […]

The Birth of Skate Punk Culture

Preach! I’d love to credit the source of this image but it’s just being reposted everywhere so I have no idea. Maybe it was Avril Lavigne. Update: Thanks to a certain “knowitall,” the original creator has been identified as Cat from LaterlOser. You can even get your own.

Halle Berry Skates to Get Fit (And Sell You Stuff)

Actress Halle Berry has been hanging out with physical trainer Peter Lee Thomas doing things like getting fit and skateboarding, promoting a “digital health, awareness, and wellness community.” Community is a new word for shop these days. These pics are from her Instagram feed.

On the right you can see Bara Prasilova’s photo. Sanskirt. After surveying the offerings, my 10 year old son declared […]

A tale of two Grabkes

Two different Claus Grabke boards featured in unrelated fashion shoots. I’m still trying to track the source of the one on the left,  doubtfully commissioned by the gelato company. The one on the right has an Underwear Expert watermark, which is a good place to go get your dong on.

Action Skateboard Teens

What started as a post about overpriced 80’s skateboard dolls (Action Skateboard Teen – $50!) got weird during research when I found a video about girls (who can actually skate) who want you to know that’s it’s OK to wear high heels to the skatepark as long as you bring skate shoes to change into, […]
