Dean of Team Shralp/100 points out this preview of an upcoming project. The clip is chock full of amazing pool skating. Dean is a bike rider who has been a real supporter of the skatepark effort in Portland, coming out for meetings and raising money. Sorry about the Ed Benedict thing dude, vert riders ahd nothing to do with the bike ban. Check it out after the turn.

I found this Mexican comic book, Los Super Juniors over at Weirdo Toys. And speaking of Mexican skateboarding, check out this video from Steven Bailey found at the Mercava Skateboards. It’s got spots from different states in Mexico, including the one where tipster John Aguilar learned to skate tranny when he was a Super Junior. It’s a super rough looking the banked ditch/half pipe thing in Mexico city behind the Corona beer brewery. Look for it at about 2:38 into the vid.

2023 Update: Follow me down a rabbit hole while I try to track down Mexican comic books.

You can look at this picture of some sort of anti KFC protest by PETA, or you can watch some video footage of Peter Hewitt dressed up as an eagle in the 88 footwear Destroy Everything video. There’s also a short and boring interview with Tony Hawk (not his fault) from FHM magazine where he briefly talks a bout doing the loop in a chicken suit for Jackass. Your choice. – Thanks to Seth Grossman for the tip

An unnamed Domino Records band wants to shoot a music video in an empty pool in the L.A. area. They say it will take a good day of shooting, so it sounds like it will need to be a permission pool. I told the rep that it sounded like a lazy scam to find an empty pool to skate, but he assured me it was legit. They need skaters too, and there will be some sort of compensation involved. You can contact Robert Nell if you want to hook him up. In the mean time, let’s revisit a brief (incomplete) history of skateboarding in pool like structures in music videos. In the top row there are two shots from the current running band AFS (Arthritic Foot Soldiers) that has a video shot in a wooden bowl for the song “Chicks, Beer, Fame & Money” off the album Immature Nobodies. Check out the longboard guitar. It’s an interesting application, but not nearly as well done as the one featured on the cover of the Surf Punks first album My Beach. Then of course there is the grandaddy of all bowl riding skate videos, any of Agent Orange’s segments from SkateVisions. Another time tested favorite, the Netherland’s Urban Dance Squad video for “Deeper shade of Soul.” Watch them all after the jump.

UPDATE: I forgot about the very first one, Devo‘s Freedom of Choice from 1979. I’m an idiot.

Yes, well, sometimes there isn’t a lot to say about things, as is the case with Atomic Wedgie TV’s Extreme Nuns. I guess if I had to say one thing it would be that Atomic Wedgie TV doesn’t know the definition of the term “acid drop.” Watch the vid after the jump.

Here’s a video titled Mall Grab, put together by Steven Reeves, the same guy who brought you Bailgun the video, not the zine. These guys have a fun crew, and it shows in the video.

This is a shot of an amazing looking collection of concrete at Chingaucousy Skatepark in Brampton, Ontario, as designed and constructed by Spectrum Sk8parks. Soak it all in, then watch some video after the jump.

Check out this 1995 Airwalk Shoes video featuring Jason Lee. There’s a lot of filler, but he skateboarding eventually kicks in. This was probably used for trade shows and the like. You can see some of Jason Lee’s early character work here. Who shot this?

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]

I thought this Battle Ground, WA video montage from Joe Stevens contained some footage from the same session in Battle Ground that I was poaching him in back in January, but it was uploaded before that day. I’m trying to talk Joe into becoming a contributor. I love seeing videos of my friends skating, but it gets literally and figuratively, uh, old after a while. As The Dogs said, I traded in all my old attitude, for a younger point of view.
