I would have thought the Christmas edition skateboards would have lost their appeal by now, and frankly, I don’t get it. They must be popular since Powell keeps issuing them, along with some Bones Brigade Christmas ornaments. Actually, they looks like they still have a 2013 edition board available. I do “get it” of course. People want to buy limited edition items and Powell wants to make money. Skateboard collecting is an odd thing. I can’t imagine anyone else makes Christmas-themed performance sports equipment that is fully functional and intended to be collected.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you living south of Canada and North of Mexico in the continent of North America. To the rest of you… USA! USA! USA! Or not. It’s up to you. Gobble gobble, we accept you, we accept you, one of us!

St. Patrick’s Day graphic from the Powell Peralta page on Facebook. Honestly, I’m surprised there was no limited edition board to go with it.

Check out some X-mas themed posts from previous years and enjoy the holidays!

I don’t suppose this skateboarder cookie cutter is limited to Christmas, but it looks like a gingerbread style cutter, and that’s what I associate gingerbread with. The embossed text says “© 1989 Lk Mfg Corp Product No 8876” I’m thinking they decided to add a skateboarder to their product line and used some late 70’s or very early 80’s photo as a reference.

Yes, a retread of last lear’s video, but let’s not take that as foreshadowing this year’s content. Lots of exciting things planned for 2013, this time I mean it! Thank you for reading Skate and Annoy!

Taking the Holidays off. Happy Festivus, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, etc… to you and yours! If you’re hurting for holiday content, check out these past posts filed under Christmas and Holidays.

Powell’s got three Christmas themed items on sale for the holidays, not one, but two different Vato Rat skateboards and new this year, Ripper ornament. That ornament is only 6 bucks. I’m getting one.
