Curb Dog


Best slappie pic yet. Shot DIY on a 10 second timer. This is nothing more than a severely overturned backside curb slappie with me putting too much weight on my front foot. It was a good grind and makes for a better pic.

Pawshop HQ To Open This Fall


This is the biggest news to hit the Kanawha Valley skateboarding scene in a while. Brian and the Pawnshop Crew have officially dropped this press release announcing the new indoor park. I can't wait to see this one!

Best Tee Shirt I've Seen This Year

Have You Seen H.I.M.

Satori is at the forefront of the "eco" movement in the skateboarding industry. Their take on the Animal Chin "Have You Seen Him" logo is one of the best tee shirts I've seen this year. Satori is "Your online source for skateboards, bamboo, hemp, organic, recycled, soy, music, and culture goods."

If you are a regular reader of Hopeless Old Men On Skateboards over at Antigravity Press then you may have noticed the site has been "unavailable" as of late. Until the comics are back up and running you should check out some of Mark's photos at the Antigravity Press Remote Site. MC and his pics are worth a look.
