Stouffer your face
Since most of our readers are likely stuffing thier faces today, here’s a Stouffer Pizza Bread commercial circa 2002 that features a fresh faced young man who likes to walk around his kitchen fully padded up. The producers probably made sure the kid was wearing full safety gear for liability purposes or at least to […]
Alyssa Milano and Colin McKay
Alyssa Milano and Colin McKay for 1 800 Collect circa 2002, captured on glorious VHS (how barbaric!) and transferred to mini DV. Now it’s on YouTube, the VHS equivalent… Who is the other guy? Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out, I mean how many black vert skaters are out there? Memorable quote: “You could […]
A dork session by any other name…
This “Shit Skate Gang” video is funny and has high production values, unlike some people. Actually, it reminds me of the Claus Grabke spoof. The theory is skateboarding has reached its peak. To stand out at your local skatepark you need to carve in a whole new direction. Join Gaylord Gaylord, Mudstain Thompson, and Lancelot […]
Uh.. Barney skateboarding.
I caught this Cocoa Pebbles commercial with Barney skateboarding by accident. The transmission switched to another commercial before this one was actually finished, but I got most of it. If anybody has the full version, please let me know, because there isn’t enough coverage of Barneys skateboarding…
Helmet safety for the kiddies
With all the recent posts about Jake Brown and those parents in Medford being idiots indicted, this helmet safety video from Danger Rangers couldn’t have come at a better time. Danger Rangers is horribly cheesy cartoon designed to teach kids about safety. How cheesy? It looks like they spent more money on animating their web […]
Definitely not punk rock
I reviewed Original skateboards deck and trucks a while back. They have a video that went up on YouTube a couple of days ago. Nothing in the way of radical skateboarding but a relaxed soulful feel. Makes me want to go ride some hills. The footage is from the coast of Maine.
I’m American. Ha ha ha.
This is the new skate video directed by Wes Anderson, starring Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson. A day of skateboarding around the city of Bangalore, India. Video by Maxwell Scott and Paul Mathews. As far as skate videos go, it’s not spectacular, but it is a very well executed piece of editing. Highly pleasing, in […]
GVK#25 Halloween Hodads
Calling all Ho-dads near and far. One week ago there was a meeting you should have attended. If you do not see your self on the tape consider yourself out of the club, and banned from future meetings. Pledges may attend next year for consideration of entry. Pledges must make themselves recognizable by wearing a […]
Most half pipes are a sausage fest
Intercooler is either a heat exchange device used on turbocharged internal combustion engines to improve their volumetric efficiency, or an Australian band. Take your pick. This music video (or is it a commercial for Element?) for Intercooler’s You’re Not Gonna Hurt Us Again features two people I’ve never heard of: Australian pro skateboarder Corbin Harris […]
