A public service announcement by the state of New York and certified young person Paul Rudd. Stick around til the end, and wear a damned mask so we don’t have to keep talking about Covid 19. I wonder if Paul knows Lenny Wozniak.
That’s the story. Anthony Huber died trying to disarm Kyle Rittenhouse at a BLM protest. Kyle shot 3 people and killed 2. He is a domestic terrorist. Comments will be moderated heavily on this pos, bootlickers and racists need not apply.

Tony Hawk performed on the The Masked Singer as the Elephant. Despite sticking to his 80’s roots, singing Friday I’m In Love by the Cure, he lost the round and was unmasked. The takeaway from this is the fact that it’s 2020 and we’re still making additions to Gratuitous Tony Hawk appearances. Looks like he enjoyed himself.
Rogue Beers out of Newport Oregon has teamed up with Dreamland Skateparks to produce a beer and a skateboard. A portion of the proceeds go to “building skateparks around the world,” which could mean anything, but the important thing is, beer, and Dreamland Skateparks.

The parole board has tentatively grantees Mark “Gator” Rogowski parole based on a combination of circumstances including his remorse, completion fovea various rehabilitation programs, and a new law affecting offenders under the age of 26, related to brain development studies. He has not been released yet. The board has 120 days to make the decision final, and the DA plans to appeal the decision. Gator is currently 53 years old, and plans to live with his brother while working as a paralegal clerk. More information can be found at ABC 10 News San Diego. He’s been in prison for about 25 years. Is he rehabilitated? Does he deserve another chance? Meanwhile, Vision still sells a Gator deck…

A 3 man crew of hardcore assholes is targeting Portland skate shops. The jackasses pulled 3 smash and grabs in the past couple of weeks. The losers targeted Cal Skates Skateboards, Commonwealth Skateboarding, and most recently, Smart Collective. These are small business owners who are being hit. Someone in the greater Portland Metro area, Oregon, or Washington knows who these lowlifes are. Turn them in. If you are near any of the affected shops, consider dropping in and making purchase to support them.
It’s a Pink Panther jumbo post!

This is the third glow in the dark park that I’m aware of, and the second one by Korean artist Koo Jeong A. Incredibly, this concrete park appears to be a temporary installation at the Triennale Milano in Italy. What happens to it after the exhibit runs its course from 26th of November 2019 to the 15th of February 2020? It probably ends up in landfill. I love art. I have a degree in art. I love skateboarding too. But, for fucks sake, it’s 2019. Stop building temporary, disposable concrete skateparks! This installation was poured byControl Z, but it’s not their fault. The event is in conjunction with something called the Academy of Skateboarding, which near as I can tell, is a skate school for kids created specifically for this exhibit. It’s tough o tell, there are all sorts of Academies of Skateboarding on the web, but the Italian translation turns up a curiously titled link: “Academy of Skateboarding featuring bastard.” Maybe I’ve got this all wrong, after all, my Italian is… non-existent. If you can fill in some details, please leave them in the comments and I’ll add it to the main post.
These are movie posters from the 1992 movie Encino Man, or “California Man” as they called it in France. I’m not sure what the Thai translation is. I’m not sure if Brenden Frazier actually rides a skateboard in the movie, and I’m not about to go watch it and find out. A quick search for Pauly Shore on a skateboard turns up one animated gif that may be from the movie, who knows. Quality stuff right here on Skate and Annoy. I kid you not.
