eBay Watch: May 2012

So welcome to eBayWatch, May 2012 edition. And it was another great month, especially in the 90s section, due to a famous skate artist selling off some of his own collection! There’s some insane stuff that went off, but the 70s and 80s had their fair share of big hits and cool looking unusual ones […]

eBay Watch: August 2010

Well I’m really excited about the selection again this month. July was an awesome month for 80s decks, but I think that August was just as good. A little more varied perhaps, but still as good, and I hope you agree. I decided that I was going to go with quality and not quantity this […]

eBay Watch: April 2010

Well, despite what I said last month, I was able to pull together a full and complete BayWatch for April 2010. It was a tough month though. I’m assuming lots of people owed on their taxes in April because almost all of the big-ticket decks available went unsold. Only a few decks went for over […]

eBay Watch: March 2007

eBay Watch: December 2006

Now back to business. December was another down month, with some great bargains to be had. I know. I got one. But […]

Beginner Skatepark Bulding 101

By Stefan Hauser There are many possibilities for design when building your own skate terrain. A lot depends on your experience, expertise and preference. What we will cover here is concrete do-it-yourself “skatepark” construction. Just like wood ramps and steel rail construction, the more solid background you have in the materials the better off you […]

The Story of Iron Cross: Art and Steve Godoy Interview

Way back 1987 we had the good fortune to interview Art and Steve Godoy for issue number 6 of Skate and Annoy. Somehow they had seen a copy and had given us positive feedback, especially concerning Neil’s infamous “Hate Page.” We did a good interview with some silly questions, and even let them vent on […]
