October 20, 2014. Rarely Seen Red SMA Natas Kaupas Deck. Ecently, this rarely seen red Santa Monica Airlines Natas Kaupas deck (from the pre-Santa Cruz era) came up via the good folks at the Skateboard Museum.

Existential musings on the interrelational metaphysics between skateboarding and life, from a decidedly punk perspective. Sunday, December 11, 2016. Der Winter Ist Angekommen. Der Winter ist angekommen. Everything sounds more ominous in German (Winter has arrived). The mini-half is much easier to shovel out than the entire street course. In early 2016 I shoveled it, and a path, at a local park. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Curbe Diem and Gratitude: The Story of 2016. Der Winter Ist Angekommen.

I know from previous experience with this wax, that a quick reapply would have made things grind/slide again. Paraffin) as other ...

Skate Culture: Basic "Six Million Dollar Man" Team Deck: Rare 1990's Skate Art
http://www.skateculture.info/2014/12/basic-six-million-dollar-man-team-deck.html
December 07, 2014. Basic "Six Million Dollar Man" Team Deck: Rare 1990's Skate Art. Peaking more on the subject of rare decks from the 1990's, here is a Six Million Dollar Man team deck from Basic skateboards. Here are a couple of details from the deck:. 1990's decks can be so very fun. They have a character that is quite distinct from the classic deck art of the 80's on the one hand, but retain a certain vintage pull through their linkages to pop culture more generally.

Existential musings on the interrelational metaphysics between skateboarding and life, from a decidedly punk perspective. Thursday, October 13, 2016. Dylan Rieder 1988 - 2016. Dylan Rieder died today. He was 28. Cancer. The news is all over Time, Rolling Stone, People, etc. Ozzy Osbourne even tweeted about. Pro skateboarder, and model. Commenting on the dead is always an odd situation because, in reality, you are commenting for the living. Roll forever, Dylan. Roll forever. Wednesday, October 12, 2016.

Existential musings on the interrelational metaphysics between skateboarding and life, from a decidedly punk perspective. Saturday, December 31, 2016. Curbe Diem and Gratitude: The Story of 2016. Many seem to think that 2016 was bad year. Looking back on it, I don’t feel that way. Quite the opposite, actually. I had a lot of fun this year, and did a lot of things that were meaningful, even if they were not easy. What else can you really ask for? Time With My Parents. I have a job I love going to, and co-...
