Reissues

Turntable Lab has got some sick reissue skateboard decks in stock from the likes of Gonz, Mike V, Cab, and my personal favorite Ray Barbee [pictured above, left to right]. Man, I want that Barbee board so bad! I wanted it so bad when I was a kid, but my local skate shop didn't carry it, so I just saw it in copies of Thrasher and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine. It's summer time and I feel like shredding. Damn I wish there was an empty pool near my apartment complex or a concrete park in the vicinity. Maybe, when we move out to LA, Anne will let me go skateboarding in one of the parks out there. I will wear my pads and helmet so's I don't hurt myself (more). I just hope the young kids don't laugh too hard at this old fogy out there carving it up 80's style. Radical!

Another Tease

I'm not sure what it looks like from the front, but it sure got a nice ass! Anyway, Erick Scarecrow sent me an e-mail with a new teaser picture for his new Old Skool Kaiju - Destroy All Vinyl! figure that will be released sometime in February in collaboration with Neon Martian. Be on the lookout here for more info as it becomes available.

Old Skool Kaiju

If you know anything about me, you know I am a big fan of Kaiju (Japanese for "strange beast" or "monster"), whether it is neo-Kaiju or of the old skool variety. If you read my blog on a regular basis, you may have noticed all of the Secret Base neo-Kaiju I have been into recently. Well, I got e-mail this morning from good ol' Erick Scarecrow letting me know that he will be releasing his Old Skool Kaiju collection starting in 2008. I can't wait to see some finished product. Until then, I can stare at the flyer above and dream.
