Skate Harassment at the Executive Level

I missed this on Skate Daily, but it looks like John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin is a fervent skateboard harasser. She supported penalties for using skateboards on public or private property as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. “ — after the expected opening of the $233,000 Wasilla Skate Park — skaters will be breaking the […]

Learn Inverts: Eggplants are easy

I haven’t made any invert attempts since Saturday, but this video trick tip from Bacon’s Tim Johnson makes me think that eggplants shouldn’t be too hard. Yeah, right. Everyone except Conahan can check it out after the jump.

Bailgun - Magazine - and unrelated Video

Dueling Bailguns

Sure, we’re all about Japan here, but when are we going to cover something that often gets overlooked, like, oh, i don’t know. Say for instance, the Northwest bowl scene? Bailgun is a video put together by Steve Reeves. So this was submitted (Not by Steve) as a potential palate cleanser after watching the Overground […]

Newest Best Street Skating Vid ever

This is Gou Miyagi’s part in something called “Overground Broadcasting,” a film by The Far East Skate Network. FESN apears to be based out of Japan, but the video has a lot of European and US footage as well. I was hooked on this video in the first 50 seconds. Watching Gou Miyagi immediately brought […]

Dwindle shows you how their boards are made

This video tour of the Dwindle wood shop narrated by Rodney Mullen is fascinating on several levels. I’ll start with the elephant in the room, the factory location. Sure, the wood comes from Canada, but the labor appears to mostly be comprised of girls just old enough to compete on the Chinese gymnastics team. Next, […]

Healthy, Fashionable Criminals

Wrapping up some longboard-centric items. First up is fashion designer Adam Kimmel’s promo film Claremont consisting of a couple of beardos screaming downhill in suits we can only assume were designed by Adam Kimmel. I’m not exactly sure how the tie in works, but it seems to be getting people talking. The right people? I […]

GVK# 38: Skate Ghost Junior

So me and some of the crew explored the oregon coast in search of Skate Ghost. We saw a lot of stuff, some old friends and some new parks. The one thing we did not find was Skate Ghost Senior, but we did find his offspring, Skate Ghost “Junior.” He is killing it. He made […]

GVK# 36: AST Dew Tour Detour

Hey every one my friend Andy was in town for the Dew A.S.T. tour, and yours truly got a media pass. I saw him Friday afternoon at practice he told me he and Chris Miller were going to skate Pier Park. It was nice to see that place properly ridden. Those guys were also very […]

Saturday Starrs #7: Skater Girls from 1975

“… and hitting the concrete, with the new skateboarding.” This looks like a brief out take from one of those independent surf films. It’s pretty short (and dark if you are watching on a Windows machine) that is typical for the era. Nice jazz guitar soundtrack. Someone should make an updated version of this with […]
