But the shark bites are brutal
Don’t worry, these guys didn’t send me anything, I’ve always been a fan of the Slasher graphic. I’m pretty sure that some smaller companies have already done the sword shaped skateboard, but for Santa Cruz it seems like an obvious choice. I’m actually more surprised that this board doesn’t have Keith Meek’s name on it […]
Dekline of Skate and Annoy Impartiality
Dekline sent me a nice pair of shoes to review. This is my very transparent way of thanking them. Check out this short video welcoming Matt Bennett, Austin Stephens and Diego Bucchieri to their team. [Source SkateDaily.net]
Learn to Ollie, Buster
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk… The latest skateboard gadget in the grand tradition of sky hooks, rubber bands and magnets is the Ollie Buster, an elaborate setup that allows you to hold the board to your feet with the aid of some rubber tubing, a handle and a gratuitous skateboard wheel thrown in for extra weight. Reminds […]
The Powell board you never saw
This is a closeup of a bootleg Powell Peralta deck with a Per Welinder themed graphic on the bottom. If that’s not enough, it has a Tony Hawk graphic on the top. It’s from an old 80’s Brazilian skateboard magazine sent in by Luciano Fleck Peixoto. It’s funny that the bootleggers thought they had to […]
Solitary Arts recycles
Just like House of Neil, I have a major issue with people who cut up old skate magazines (or Life, or anything else, really) and try to sell the individual ads out of context. Plundering history for a modest monetary gain is needlessly destructive. Frankly, it pisses me off. Then again, I have been known […]
Camptown ladies sing this song, Doodah
From the sketchy free online translation, I gather that fashion photographers Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer shot some supermodels (that I don’t recognize…) for a series of skateboards put out by Swiss skateshop Doodah. By the way, this is Friday T&A on S&A.
Concrete Disciple wheels on Spitfire
Concrete Disciples has their own signature wheel on Spitfire. Seriously? Fug! We’re still working on our signature deal, but until then if you send us your wheels, I’ll take a black sharpie and write “Skate and Annoy” on them for free.
Girl Plank Series
The Planks series of graphics by Girl Skateboards is an idea that is so simple I kick myself for not thinking of it. I saw a kid with the Koston board set up at Pier Park over the weekend, and it looked even cooler with the addition of real trucks on top of Ithe graphic. […]
Frida T&A on S&A: Control and Vivid Girls
Canadian manufacturer Control Skateboards has licensed the likenesses of adult film actresses from Vivid Videos. The series includes Vivid Girls (L-R) Sunny Leone, Nikki Jayne, Hanna Hilton and Meggan Mallone . It’s supposed to be a limited edition run, but they are priced like normal boards. In fact, they appear to be on a bit […]
