Bondi Bowl snakeboard with bindings

Wacky Australian two fer.

Oh man, he’s killing it! Oh wait… Just in case snakeboards aren’t wacky enough for you, you can always add snowboarding bindings. The most interesting thing about this video is the fact that it was shot with an adapter that lets you stick 35mm lenses on a regular old camcorder, for all kinds of artsy-fartsy […]

Built to Skate: Austria

Built to Skate: Austria

Eastpack and Red Bull footed the bill for 6 DIY concrete spots in Austria. These aren’t full sized spots, but rather single modifications to existing spots or sometimes creating a new spot by providing an approach to a previously unskateable spot. Nothing earth shaking, but cool nonetheless. There’s a short video clip by Niki Waltl […]

Early Jason Lee video

Old timey Jason Lee

The big question is why no skateboarding in two seasons of My Name is Earl, especially with all the flashback scenes? Above left is a still from Stereo’s Tincan Folklore which was released in 1996 but has some footage of Jason circa mid to late 80’s. Above right is from Blind’s Video Days, which was […]

Spiderman skating

Halloween Highjinks: Spiderman

It’s Halloween. It’s Halloween. It’s Hall-O-ween. Here’s some footage of Spiderman skating in what looks like it may be a Vans park. The YouTuber is very mum on the details but it’s slick enough to make me believe I’ve just exposed my ignorance by not knowing what video this was taken from. If I didn’t […]

Toy catalog

Toy catalog time

It’s vaguely near Christmas again, so the toy catalogs are already in the mail. Time was when you could get a semi-legitimate skateboard from your toy catalog. I got one in the mail from Fisher Price that features Earth Ace, one of the Planet Heros. He skates on the moon. “The moon. This is what […]

I have posted about SkaterDater before. This guy has a chunk of it posted on YouTube. Man, I keep saying we need to get matching windbreakers.

Tony Hawk At Soggy Bottom

Hawk or Die

This clip of Tony Hawk skating in the desert somewhere is pretty amazing. I’m guessing (and pulling it out of my ass, really) that this is from the new Birdhouse video The Beginning maybe? As for the skating spectacle and cinematography, it’s great regardless of your personal feelings on Tony. And really, let’s talk about […]

Tigard Open

The Doctor tames the beast of Tigard

Earlier in the week when we were having technical difficulties, Grover put together a clip he felt was not worthy of full GVK status, although I’m not sure why. We couldn’t post it because our web host sucks so EPM scooped us on our own content. Hopefully it will dry up by the time this […]
