Recently appearing on DVD for the first time is the 1986 movie Thrashin’! it’s available at some chain stores for as low as $9.99, and at that price it is surely worth collecting a few bucks from friends and watching it through a haze of beer. Guess what? The movie still sucks, but Sherilyn Fenn […]

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 […]

Smart Art Press ISBN 1-889195-44-8 Copyright Date: Review Date: 2003 Like a god springing from the split head of Zeus, the early L.A. punk scene spontaneously came into it’s existence influenced by the emergence of punk world wide. For every book covering the genesis of the New York scene there are probably at least two […]

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, […]

Bryan Ray Turcotte and Christopher T. Miller. Gingko Press Copyright Date: Review Date: 2003 If “Please Kill Me” is the ultimate written word on punk rock (and it is), then “Fucked Up and Photocopied” is the Mount Olympus of all punk art books. The title alone is reason enough to have this tasty tome on […]

Vision is a name that conjures up some heavy connotations from the 80’s heyday of skateboarding. Love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t deny the impact they had. The Classic Sk8 DVD Retrosk8 series is a bare bones reissue of some old videos. Besides holding the record for a how many times a product can […]

Jon Resh Viper Press Copyright Date: Review Date: 2003 Amped made me laugh. Not just a “tee-hee” or “ha-ha” sort of laugh. But the type of laugh that’s so consuming it becomes silent, tightens your stomach until it hurts, makes you choke and turn red in the face and forces anyone within earshot to think […]
