Some Product – Page 17 – Skate and Annoy

Skitch Hitchcock model

After probably a 30 year gap, there’s another Skitch Hitichock model out. This model made by Skate Designs looks like a pretty nice cruiser, complete with wheel wells. I want to say that Skitch the guy who invented the gorrila grip, but I’m not sure. Proceeds from the model will help Skitch with some life […]

Custom nonskid stickers

From the website: Subhead Grip was founded by Jesse Milden. These products were inspired by years of riding skateboards and making custom grip tape designs. Jesse grew up riding around the block in Los Angeles. He has continued riding in Oregon, New York, Boston and now Seattle. Subhead Grip is designed and manufactured in Seattle, […]

Say aah

In case you didn’t read the comments on the previous custom board graphics post, JF pointed out the Board Pusher website. They have a much better range of sizes and shapes and are skate-centric. I wonder how the quality compares.

ASR 2008: A sea of class.

Slob-Air form Skull and Bones Skateboarding forum has posted a ton of images from the ASR show. Looks like neon is going to be big again in 2009. I guess that only took 15 years or so to recycle. Speaking of recycle, there’s tons of pics of old boards, old pros and new reissues, plus […]

Globe / Devo Airport Survival Collection

The Devo Airport Survival Collection

Globe has teamed up with the band that brought you the first ever music video featuring skateboarding. Of course I’m talking about Devo’s Freedom of Choice. Prove me wrong if you can. Skater Dater doesn’t count, it’s a short film meant to showcase skating, not to provide visual accompaniment for an existing song. You might […]

We had little Jimmy bronzed

Our research department looked into the similarity between the skater sculpture in Naperville , Illinois and the one in Milton Freewater, Oregon. We found a few additional examples, but no catalog yet. Apparently sculptors are also over the handplant. L to R: Bronze Boy on a Skateboard by the people who brought you the Bronze […]

Heavy Metal

I can’t get away from my wasteful lust for old-growth maple veneers. I’ve been skating for too many years and am set in my ways. But my ever aging and growing inner-nerd can’t help but be intrigued by the innovations of using alternative materials to make skateboards. Aluminum boards have been around forever, but boards […]

Jewelry for skateboarders

I came across this during an image search for a post on the Screaming Hand for my skatecomics site. This guy posted about it and points to AK37 as the source. I couldn’t find it on their site though. I wonder if they got a C&D from SantaCruz. They have some pretty cool designs which […]

Attack of the reissues

Collectors are probably bummed, but guys who just want to ride their favorite old boards again will be stoked, as long those old boards are some of these Santa Cruz re-issues slated to ship in August. These images are from SoCal Skateshop. Get in line now, these will likely sell out fast, and then we […]
