Legends of vert.

There’s a big vert ramp with Jane’s Addiction playing over the loudspeakers, and guys like Steve Caballero, Mike McGill, Chris Miller, Tony Hawk, Duane Peters, Tony Magnussen, Lester Kasai and Steve Steadham are skating. Is this 1987? No, it’s the “Legends of Vert” demo that Steve Steadham organized at the Summer X Games. The real […]

Let your little skater out

EA‘s upcoming skateboarding video game called Skate (Duh!) is being heralded as a Tony Hawk killer. Not the actual Tony Hawk, but his video game franchise… The idea that it will kill the franchise is slim to none. It could easily be better than the latest version of the Hawk-named game, but they’ll still milk […]

GVK#19: The Skate Ghost

So my buddy and I set on a search for the Skate Ghost along the Oregon coast, although we were one step behind actually sessioning with him, we did capture some of our own footage. Please contact me at this site if you actually see any skate ghost sessioning. Enjoy the show Peace Off Homies.

The slam heard ’round the world.

I don’t watch the X-Games, even if I come across them by accident. I know, it’s hard to believe. When I came into work this morning a coworker in his 40’s who doesn’t skate had already emailed me about Jake Browns’s slam to flat on the mega ramp. It’s every vert rider’s worse nightmare, multiplied […]

GVK#18: Where the hell is everyone?

So here it is, a too long and boring GVK18. It was a slim crowd at Holly Farms for the 1st Saturday, but we had fun as you can see via the video. The average age of the crowd was 30 years of age and the average weight of each person was 200 pounds or […]

Boring old vert

2007 Dew Tour videos are available from the iTunes Music Store. They have the Panasonic and the Right Guard up so far. You can buy a season pass for $20 which will save you money if you watch more than 10. Vert seems to be in two parts so that could happen. I just finished […]

Screen printing is horrifying

I had always intended to include video footage with our series of DIY articles on screenprinting skateboards (see bottom pics). Now that I’ve seen the Sistine Chapel of screenprinting videos I can’t see the point of making what will obviously be, an inferior copy of a master’s work. From Aesthetic Apparatus comes this video of […]

The longest yard

Wheelie. Wheelie. Wheelie. My friend did a manual, and then a nose manual on a ledge which is longer than a football field. The actual distance was 315.21 feet and I found that using Google Earth, I even included a screen shot at the end of the clip for you non-believers. Wheelie. Wheelie. Wheelie. Update: […]

Hawk gets annoyed at E3

A seemingly drunk or otherwise incapacitated Jamie Kennedy interviewed Tony Hawk and his game developer at E3, which is to video games what an eBay convention would be like for skateboard collectors. Jamie is clearly phoning in his performance and bombing, but it’s still pretty funny to watch him take the piss out of all […]
