Gringo Skateboards: What happened to Zorlac is a travesty. Actually, what happened to Zorlac? Last I heard it had improbably turned into a Christian company. All I know is that the logo and name started showing up on questionable toys and the boards all but disappeared. A back check of Transworld Skateboarding Business reveals that […]

I liked my Factory 13 Hammerhead so much that I started lurking around the Factory 13 web site to see what else was cooking. I was stoked to see a new model by one of my favorite new bands, The Briefs! I got one of the first ones off the production line. It’s a classic […]

Veggie Skates: Another cool small company is Veggie Skates. Fighting a seemingly uphill battle to promote vegetarian awareness in skateboarders (?) Yes. It’s true. These boards are made with eco friendly glues and laminated from eco friendly wood sources that are managed and replenished with greenhouse effect in mind. I’m sure I’m messing up the […]

Factory 13 Non Conformist Skateboards! There’s a guy in shed somewhere behind field out in the middle of a nowhere called rural Ohio. In stead of the staccato of banjo strings and the theme from Deliverance, you’ll more likely hear punk rock and some powerful urgent sandin’, drillin’, cuttin’ and paintin’, cause this factory makes […]

Another small company making big waves. They have kick ass wood if I do say so myself. You’ve seen the Pabst deck right? There is at least one other company that has bitten the idea, but here is where it started. The […]

Guest reviewer: Troy Sliter When asked by the fine folks at Skate and Annoy to write a review of a freestyle deck I first wondered “Why me?” And then wondered “Who makes freestyle boards these days anyway?” I quickly realized that a freestyler from the eighties that still skates vert is the closest thing to […]

Outlook is an east coast company that is kind of straddling the gap between old and new school. The graphics tend towards the skull and knife and flame theme that had it’s heyday in the eighties, but the shapes are mostly new school. One of the boards we got sent for review was severely warped, […]

I first saw the Sector 9 name in 1996 while failing to surf for a couple of weeks in Puerto Rico. The graphics were heavy on a 60’s and 70’s surf vibe, which I couldn’t relate to, but the price was appealing. Having ridden a couple of longboards in 80’s (Madrid Mike Smith and Schmittstix […]

So this thing looked kind of interesting on the web site a couple of years ago. Sure, it was a little kooky, but it could be functional too. When it arrived, many months after it was ordered (no joke) it was well crafted but not very functional. The wheels were slow as hell and required […]
