Xtreme-mas Nutcracker

My wife picked this up at Target for about $10. She buys things for me all the time with the understanding that I usually return them after photographing them, but it looks like this guy has found a permanent home here. It’s kind of weird looking and causes a lot of double takes from visitors. […]

Cyber Monday Xmas shopping

I didn’t make any posts on Black Friday, but this works better for Cyber Monday since you might have a hard time finding this in an actual shop. So why not pick up this limited edition Skull and Candy Cane board that is not actually a Blind send up, but something the folks at Powell […]

Day after Xtreme-mas blues

Post-holiday depression? Here’s a video of Santa bombing some hills. I know it’s a day late, but it’s still funny that it comes from CNN via their iReport site. I like the concept for getting eyewitness news up faster, but lately CNN is getting more and more like AM talk radio. Seriously, who cares what […]

Still more Xtreme-mas

I’m beginning to feel like there might be enough to make a skateboard-only Christmas tree. One time the missus and I decorated a tree entirely with plastic bugs and rubber snakes that we bought in bulk and used a fishing line and a sewing needle to make the loops. You have to heat the needle […]

Even more Xtreme-mas

Digital print on demand services don’t really count as mass produced items, but there are a bunch of skateboard Christmas ornaments available at Cafe Press that like most of the fare found there, ranges from well done illustrations (in rare cases) to what is essentially clip art, with a catch phrase if you are lucky! […]

More Xtreme-Mas

My kids have already been to two outdoor animated light shows this year, which means I went too. I’ve idly wondered how much some of these setups costs. Thanks to Mac’s daughter Caroline for finding Santa’s elves riding a half pipe, or as they say in the industry “Animated Skateboarding Elf Half Ramp.” Apparently there […]

The Tony Hawk ornament and other X-mas mysteries.

The sketchy Tony Hawk Christmas ornament was actually a McDonalds Happy Meal toy with a string attached. Danimal’s mom sent him an awesome elf skateboarding on a leaf. World Industries sells these elf sized skateboards that come packaged in a Christmas stocking.

Xmas ornaments

Wow, that was fast. No sooner do I post about not finding any new skateboard-themed Christmas ornaments this year, then Paige sends me three links. There are nine ornaments after the jump, plus a ton from last year as well.

X-mas 75

This is a killer photo on the Cobb blog. Michael Cobb goes into detail about the skateboards in the photo and other he and his family had, above and beyond the plastic ones. Make sure you follow the link to see the full size version of the photo. Michael is/was the kid with the sly […]
