Achtung! Slack!
Skater and Annoy got mentioned in an issue of the German action sports magazine Slack. My German vocabulary is limited to what I picked up from playing the original 2D version of Castle Wolfenstein on my Apple II back in 1982. See post title for demonstration. Dieses News-Portal ist aus einem Skate-Zine aus den 80er-Jahren […]
A dork session by any other name…

That’s when I realized it actually was an exhibit on skate shoes called Made For Skate put on by the […]
Streets on Fire – Santa Cruz – 1989
Last week we had something new, so for this week lets go with something old. Streets on Fire from Santa Cruz Skateboards was a pivotal skate video to say the least. Natas Kaupas’ part pushed the boundaries of what could be done on a skateboard. I’m sure if you ask anyone what they thought of […]
