Hunter Simms emailed us about a Skircle he had just acquired, and agreed to share the images with us. When I tried to search for more, Skate and Annoy (big surprise) was the site that came up with the most frequency. I did manage to find a couple new (old) images and have compiled them into this post.

About nine years ago I discovered (online) a magnificent plastic 6-wheeled skateboard, and the since then I have been looking to add this exquisite wacky board to my collection of oddities. I even have an Ebay alert set up for it, but it’s never returned any positives. As is the case for a lot of barely documented skateboard ephemera, Skate and Annoy is sometimes one of the few results that come up. Such was the case for Don Brown (Yes, that Don Brown) who recently acquired his own Cami Tres Assi and tried to find out more about it. After reading his comment I reached out to him and he obliged to send us some photos… and here we are. Don got his from a friend in Italy. We know nothing more than we originally did, except for the fact the wheels are quite brittle and prone to breaking. Enjoy!

Details are slim to nonexistent on this, but you are looking at Tracy Morgan appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, while decked out in an outfit that is assuredly based on the Brand-X Weirdo model. I’ve got a message in to Brand-X and will share what I learn. You know the Weirdo has a special place in our hearts here. UPDATE: It’s an old appearance from 4/01/19 and you can watch it here. The clip available online is not the full interview and the topic of his outfit does not come up.

Good golly this was way too easy to do. This is from an Adobe tutorial on how to mostly automate colorizing a black and white image. This one has the obvious look of something that has been colorized but I imagine if you spent more than 3 minutes with it you could achieve more believable results. NIce to see ole lance “Check out my eyebrows” Mountain used in the pic, assuming the appropriate people got paid for that. I’m sure this picture of him has appeared in print and is probably easy to find in situ. Minions go forth!

I saw these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cake toppers in the binder on display at the bakery inside my local grocery store. I took some poorly lit photos but then found out you could buy the whole set online anyway, so I just poached these pics. These cakes look… uhm… appetizing?

So it turns out California is somehow famous for skateboarding. Yeah, I know, I don’t understand either, but the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce wants to rectify that an exhibit in thier newly revamped welcome center. You can see the two page spread on page 5 of the Spring 2022 issue of Best of Oceanside.

I just added 27 stickers from the collection of Blockhead founder Dave Bergthold to the gallery of Vintage Skateboard Stickers, bring the running total to 541 stickers. The additions are almost entirely Blockhead Skateboards stickers from the 80-90’s. If you’re trying to build your collection, they have some NOS vintage stickers for sale in limited quantities and at NOS vintage prices. You’ll have to pay attention because there are reprints of many old designs, usually in a different size than the original, but the NOS vintage designs are currently at the bottom of the page.
