South Africa

Editor’s Note: It’s not often that we can compete with the major skate media outlets. We don’t have the resources, and they get paid for what they do. Every once and a while we are in the right place at the right time, or know someone who is. Stefan Hauser has contributed this piece about […]

Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota Florida. Used to be that the closest park was a Team Pain effort in North Port, which is about 45 minutes away. Now they’ve got a new park built by Team Pain as well. I’ve got in-laws in Sarasota that I visit every other year or so, and I’d been waiting to check out […]

Florida Road Trip, 2002-2003

Do not adjust your set. This is not another reprint of vintage photographs. Let me explain. A couple of years ago I sold an old Santa Cruz Jammer on eBay to a woman for a modest price. I was curious as to who in the world would want this semi-generic and not too popular deck. […]

Vancouver BC Road Trip

Canada. Three of us ventured up to Vancouver B.C. from the Portland area one fine weekend in January 2004. Our secret weapon was resident alien Eugene Lardizabal, who was a Canadian living in the U.S. We got hassled a little at the border because Steve Grover only had a driver’s license and no Passport.

SLC Olympic Village skate demo

Editor’s Note: Here’s another one I almost decided not to re-post. The photos are embarrassingly bad. They are in fact scans of 35mm prints from Walgreens. I actually had an early digital camera, but the resolution was low, the optics crappy, and in general, they weren’t good for action shots. Even the still shots had […]

Bowling for Skateparks

Editor’s Note: Oh man, this really takes me back to when the web site had a much more limited, regional readership. This feature goes way back to the days of static HTML, but has since been imported the database for the same of posterity. The pictures are tiny because everyone had small screens and modems […]

Skate Valentines Day

Editor’s Note: This is a pretty paltry offering as far as “features” go., and I ‘m not sure why I decided to profess my alleged homosexuality. I must have thought it was funny 12 years ago. This feature goes way back to the days of static HTML, but has since been imported the database for […]

SLC Bunk – Building the Olympic Village Vert Ramp

So I’ve got this friend who called me up a month before Christmas and with a dubious story about building a vert ramp for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Let’s call him “Gordo”, because that’s what his name is. I was a bit skeptical to say the least. It seemed a little bit […]
