Gold Cup Skateboards
Gold Cup Skateboards comes to you from the mind of Lance Mountain. The boards are all made in U.S.A. and distributed by NHS. The product looks fully flushed out, right down to the “Power Slider” tail blocks. It’s not all retro nostalgia. Well maybe it is actually, but they do seem to be built with […]

It’s a California Skateparks project. Lance Mountain designed the bowl (above right) after a backyard spot named the Buddah pool. There are some construction shots, where […]
Worst ISP, Best Lance Mountain vid ever
I might be changing hosts, possibly as early as the weekend. Had hoped to wait so I could spring a redesign on you at the same time, but the recent incredibly bad customer service I’ve been experiencing during the intermittent server outages of the past week… sheesh! There are actually a couple of tech support […]
Trifecta Bloat
I took too many pictures. It’s taking a while to get through them all. Here’s Lance to tide you over.
Trifecta video? BFD!
Hey, it’s Lance Mountain and the Tigard dinosaur. That’s a combination you don’t usually see at a skateboard contest. First to post Trifecta 2009 video, as far as I know, a site called BFD.com. Check it out after the jump.
