London Bowlriders

London’s Burning (with alcohol)

Yeah it’s a tired Clash reference, but at least I didn’t title it London Calling. Our Czech ex-pat Marek Litinski went back to the fatherland (motherland?) for a week and got stuck in London for an extra week becasue his “papers weren’t in order,” or so he claims to his wife… While he was there […]

Grovers Video Korner #30

GVK# 30: Gabriel Park is/is not open

So I get a call and some on tells me Gabriel is still not open, yet the footage you are about to witness would lead you to believe the opposite but as you can plainly read Gabriel is closed? “Kooks go home,” is what I was told.

Dropping In for free this weekend

Dropping In: The True Story of Don Wimmer. It’s about time. I’m so sick of all the lies and hype… Errr.. Wha? There’s a movie about a guy who ditched his career as a CPA to try and become a pro skater at age 42. No, it’s not Grover, but it does sound like an […]

Bikini girl skates pool

Friday T&A on S&A: Bikini Girl skates pool

She says: I hope I don’t break my neck! Yeah, that would be a real, uh, shame.

Gumby Adventure Episode 86 – Skateboard Rally

Gumby and his band are performing at a skateboard rally, but before he can get to it the Blockheads steal Gumby’s board (7 minutes). You can watch a short segment here. No blockheads but Yes that is Gumby throwing up the hang loose looping and playing his guitar at the same time. Prickle on Sax, […]

William Spencer

Flip Wilson

Gotta love infotainment graphics. This one is from the Denver Post article on William Spencer. Reminds me of several things. I think a good fake job for a character in a book or movie would be dental animation specialist – or someone who makes a living modeling 3d computer graphics of mouths and teeth for […]

GVK#29: Cannon Beach

GVK#29: Grass Carp In A Minnow Pool

So I went to the beach on Friday. It was hot as balls there too. Canon Beach was the destination, low and behold the new park was finished the guy was putting in the rules sign as we arrived. I asked when is the park open (three times) and he finally said “When this sign […]

slam slide

You know this ends well

Cue Hans Moleman and football to the groin. Here’s a video that’s “trippy” in more ways than one. The guy takes a hard slam, of course, but what’s up with the weird warping footage that looks like it’s been shot underwater or projected onto a wobbly warped sheet of plastic? Warning: Take your dramamine before […]

Friday T&A on S&A: Transworld

Friday T&A on S&A: Transworld Pin Ups

So apparently Transworld had (has?) some sort of Pin Up of the Month. My subscription lapsed… some years ago, so I don’t know if it’s ongoing. As part of their business model, the idea of a Transworld Skateboarding Pin Up Girl is pretty ironic, considering Transworld was supposedly started as a backlash to some of […]
