A Strike Brewing collab with Santa Cruz. Looks like it’s a local product only available in NorCal. Here in Portland, talks with HUB over brewing something with a S&A or Cold War label have officially stalled.

It’s time for the Morro Bay Skateboard Museum 2015 fundraiser. Are you looking for incentives? How about a ride in the 1978 overall downhill winning skate car the Vetter Streamliner? The museum looks cool. If I ever make it down there I’m going to check it out. That’s Jack Smith, museum curator and original pilot of the skate car standing next to Craig Vetter.

One of the best skateboard Halloween costumes ever, outside of Ryan Coulter’s pinball machine getup, but you don’t have to be standing next to the 70’s pinball machine for it to make sense.

If you remember our first feature on this ancient 70’s skatepark in Pocatello, Idaho, you’ll be happy to see some new pictures and a short video of the park in use. Check it out.
Could there ever be any doubt that this is a skateboard? Thankfully, the manufacturer labeled it in big block letters, “Justen” case you weren’t sure. It really messes up an otherwise clean, and kind of cool top graphic. I guess people in the 70’s were dense….
Apparently even fingerboard manufacturers are over their phobia of shaped decks. Witness these two weirdly shaped fingerboards that appear to be made out of some very cheap metal. Skull Skates Mutant? The only thing I can think of is that they had thousands of oddly shaped scraps left over from manufacturing some other crappy product and couldn’t be bothered to melt it all down again. The auction says plastic, but insure looks like metal, and not plastic chrome.

Dwight Yoakum was photographed on a skateboard in London sometime in 1986. His FB page doesn’t say what it was published in, but here it is. A double billing of Dwight with Jason and the Scorchers would be a show I’d love to see.
Citiboard is a totally fake but totally well done spoof of the Citibike rental perpetrated by BrandFire, although I can’t seem to find the original anywhere on Facebook or Instagram. Of course, it’s over a year old, I probably just need to go back farther. Excellent choice of generic 80’s style skateboard for this concept, something you could use in a pinch, but you wouldn’t want to steal it.
