D*Face and Salba are Ridiculous
Watch a time lapse video of some cool stencil art by D*Face in a private bowl, then Salba and friends shred it. From a distance it looks like a pile of leaves that blew in, but it’s actually skulls. Video and image gallery at Arrested Motion , or watch the video after the jump. - ...

Fickle!!!!!!

Toxic Skate bowl
I went to the grand opening of the Toxic Skate shop last weekend to check out the new bowl. It’s really fun, but not without a few flaws. The corners can be unpredictable and the decks are miniscule, but the bowl is fun as hell to ride. The giant wall ride on one half of the long side ...

Hard Ticket to Hawaii
Wow. I can’t believe this one flew under my radar for so long, but it was released a mere year after Thrashin’. I’m not sure what this movie is about, but it’s got two Playboy Playmates and a skateboarding goon who meets a spectacular untimely demise. Is it because ...

Goat Ramp from Tim Kulas
We’ve featured the ramp handywork of Tim Kulas here a few times . His latest ongoing project is something called the Goat Ramp. It’s a sectional miniramp made from vacuum-formed laminates… I think. The sections are sturdy, but hollow and comparatively lightweight, so it ...

Waiting for wheel marks
Some rich jerks in the Dominican Republic have an incredible house on the beach that also happens to be skateable. You and I can take comfort in the fact that there is a kink where the transition meets the flat, or maybe they were trying to recreate the “ka-chunk ka-chunk” ...

Non-reader DIY: Sixside
Scout Magazine out of Vancouver BC has some shots of a Victoria renegade park in progress. From the looks of it, they appear to know how to work the concrete. I hope the press doesn’t blow it for the locals. It’s bad enough that they have to worry about kooks in Oregon posting ...

The Carvells: Part 2, and Magnum Bonum
In the dark days leading up to the apocalypse of Skate and Annoy’s web meltdown I featured the Carvells video for L.A. Run . Well, of course that led me to do some further investigating on the internet, and by “investigating,” I obviously meant draining my Paypal account ...
