Make sure your D.I.Y. isn’t D.O.A.

This D.I.Y. spot in SE Portland only lasted a couple of weeks. The spot had been home to a wooden bench made by skaters for at least a year before this bank went up. The neighborhood reaction was positive, but obviously someone in the City of Portland wasn’t impressed. The builders opted for the “it’s […]

Blowing out spots for Bobcat

Spot check, Seattle. John Aguilar sent these in. It’s near the Bell Street Pier in the Port of Seattle. He said the street view from Google Maps was better than his shots. You can be the judge after the jump. Looks like a rad spot.

alaska spot check

Spot Check: Anchorage Alaska

Tom Miller sent this shot from his recent trip to Anchorage, Alaska. Props to the Samoans (non-angry) for building a skateable wall in front of their church, as the Samoan-constructed walls in PDX aren’t so skateable. Insert Sarah Palin joke here.

Richie Jackson from Ipath

Richie Jackson from Ipath

I haven’t been paying attention to Richie Jackson lately, not through any conscious decision. Like a lot of people, I am a huge fan of his video parts from Death, so I was excited to check this out too. Not too stoked on this Ipath clip, and a big part of it is probably the […]

SOTW 3-09-09: Socal Jersey barrier

This week’s Shot of the Week is BJ Morrill on a jersey barrier somewhere in Socal. It’s a feeble to fakie shot by a mysterious character named Hurvey. I guess that’s no more mysterious than Kilwag. Check it out.

SOTW 1-19-09: Roadkill in Kansas City.

This week’s Shot of the Week is Trevor Osterholt, AKA Roadkill, at a spot in Kansas City Missouri. It was taken back in October of 2008, by photographer Ryan Young, who is currently in Iraq serving as a Marine photo journalist. What a cool looking “natural” spot. Now if only he was six inches tall […]

Not the son of Rodney Mullen

Son of Muttzilla

I don’t have a fondness or any sense of nostalgia for freestyle skateboarding, but I grudgingly watched one of these vids, and ended up enjoying them. People have posted some vids of Cristobal Bahamonde under the title “Rodney Mullen’s son?” something that Cristobal has countered by posting the same vid under the tittle “I’m not […]
