Bart Simpson in the Skatebook

Life imitates art imitating life

Ah, Bart Simpson you old scamp. Skateboarders have a love hate relationship with him. At first it was just great to have you on our side, but like with so many skaters that keep with it over the years, he eventually ended up being branded as a kook, even though to my recollection he only […]

beez video

Beez Nutz

Nothing beats a good dork session, except a dork session with some good skating. This is a clip from Beez III – Unusual Protocol. You can buy the whole thing on DVD combined with parts one and two over at beez.wiskate.com, which leads me to believe this crew is from Wisconsin. See, I told you […]

GVK #40: The other Doctor

So my old friend Dr. Krohn has a birthday, the day after this video premiers. His age will remain a mystery, much like the type under ware he wears. I have known this guy for a while and I can’t believe he made it this far. (Many of my friends quit skating) With all the […]

Skateboard fail

The Humbler

You know we don’t post a lot of slam videos here, but every once and a while I don’t have time one comes along that makes the grade. I believe this one debuted at the Springfield Film Festival and finished behind Hans Moleman’s entry. – Thanks to Mac for the tip.

Sick Boys re-release

Sick Boys

It’s impossible for me to read read or type the words “Sick Boys” without instantly thinking of the Social Distortion tune. I’ve never actually seen the skate video titled “Sick Boys” but it was released in 1988, two years before the Social D. song was released, so who knows. The video Sick Boys was shot […]

SOTW 11-10-08: Omar Hassan

SOTW 11-10-08: Rumble in Ramona

This shot breaks a cardinal rule for skate photos, but the outstretched hand in combination with the butt shot makes it interesting to me. This is Omar Hassan at the Rumble in Ramona, Creature’s invite only vert ramp contest held the 17th and 18th of October. You’re seeing it here because Davoud from Concussion shot […]

GVK #39: Newberg Eric

GVK#39: Newberg Eric

Let me introduce my friend Eric. The reason I call him my friend is because when I asked him if he would like to be sponsored, he replied “I have skateboard. How about we just be friends?” My reply was “Cheap and easy. Lets get married.” Every time I go to Newberg, Eric is skating […]

First up, the iJoy board is being marketed as both an exercise machine and an training device for board sports. It features workout settings with great names, such as “Taking […]
