 ENTRY #712, 1:19pm 5/14/08 Friend of the 'Tap, Paul Hastings, writes and says he's "...getting closer to the end of the internet." Indeed. ENTRY #711, 3:44pm 5/13/08  Yesterday the Jesus sandles. Today? Proof he doesn't have them attached to his stunt wood. Praise the Lord. And you to, Porous, for the link. ENTRY #710, 2:33pm 5/12/08 There is more than one thing wrong with these...  THIS, on the other hand, is perfectly acceptable. ENTRY #709, 9:03am 4/24/08  Whoa. Trip out. Just got off the phone with human resources over at N**e... nothing for me yet. They aren't sure what I'm qualified for. Ringer? ENTRY #708, 8:36am 4/23/08 From The Vaults. I don't want to get all caught up in the previous haircuts of staff members, but man... this coif is impressive.  But I digress. The reason I posted about The Mez was that we spotted him over on "A Visual Sound." I get requests every day to post links for ENTRY #707, 10:47am 4/22/08  It's been a while since I've posted a crailtap in the CHoF, but this one is Hall of Fame material for certain; Chris Haslam by Brian Caissie, from the most current Skateboarder "Photo Issue." ENTRY #706, 4:06pm 4/15/08  From The Vaults. You know how haircuts look pretty lame after a few years pass? The Crailtap staffers do. The photo from yesterday was from Porus Walker. Porus, I didn't know you were a twin!? ENTRY #705, 12:19pm 4/14/08  ENTRY #704, 5:03pm 4/7/08  From The Vaults. If those other two can have recurring features, so can I. An animation of a Koston Crail on the old Girl halfpipe by Jenkins. ENTRY #703, 2:40pm 3/26/08  Hey kids, Cab has a blog now... Caught this link on Good Problem. Inspiring story of photographer, Kevin Connolly, who took these shots from a skateboard; "What Are You Looking At?". ENTRY #702, 11:15am 3/21/08 What do Orange County, Carl's Jr., World Industries and a couple of billionaires have in common? Why, The World's Greatest Skateboard Competition, of course. The ticket price is only $35 + the convenience charge of $5.55... since when is it convenient to pay $40.55 for a seat at a skateboard contest? ENTRY #701, 4:57pm 3/19/08 Ooooooh, look at all that Fourstar stuff. I gotta make my way down to the warehouse... Go check out I've Got Pop. These were the people responsible for the cement shoes a couple years back. ENTRY #700, 1:38pm 3/18/08 Sales was killing it! Warehouse had a ringer. Art Dump surprised. Check the Randoms later, we just had a great lunch over here. ENTRY #699, 4:15pm 3/17/08  Good interview with The Mez over at Tackyworld. Get inside Fully Flared. ENTRY #698, 3:42pm 3/11/08 The Cartoon Laws of Physics. Too bad these don't apply to skating. Sorry, slow day today. ENTRY #697, 1:10pm 3/10/08  You can bet they have one of these for skateboarders as well. Go Orange County... keep on top of it. If you thought crailtap.com had the only online crailtap gallery, think again. Go to Concrete Disciples. ENTRY #696, 1:36pm 3/7/08 Click the cloud, bro. Just click the cloud... ENTRY #695, 1:39pm 3/3/08 Skate Study House. ENTRY #694, 4:20pm 2/29/08 Be sure you check out the live webcast of the Globe/Thrasher "Slaughter at the Opera." Starts tonight. The Yanks on Planks will be there. ENTRY #693, 3:48pm 2/29/08  You don't see this kind of thing happening in skateboarding. ENTRY #692, 8:03am 2/25/08  ENTRY #691, 3:51pm 2/22/08 Skatebook.tv is live. The Cardiel series continues at Epicly Later'd... getting behind Fucktards and the Bro Cam. ENTRY #690, 9:16am 2/20/08 Skaters on the other side of the law? Indeed... in Daytona Beach, Florida. Got the link from the Know Skateboarding Project. ENTRY #689, 1:43pm 2/13/08 This clip (wmv/1.9MB) just came in an email from Jordan Mitchell who got it from Brian Pompura. The body copy was simply, "If you haven't seen this before, you're gonna shit." ...holy dog shit. ENTRY #688, 10:32am 2/14/08  The new Ruby Republic website is up and they want to say Happy Valentines day to you all. If you're reading this, and you have a girl, I'm pretty certain she'll dig Ruby if she doesn't already. If you don't have a girlfriend, maybe Ruby can help you get one. No, not as a dating service — think in terms of gifts. But, if you haven't gotten your Valentine something by now, not even Ruby can help you out. Next time, don't leave the lady hanging, dipshit. ENTRY #687, 8:40am 2/13/08 Check the Thomas Campbell interviews on Hi Shredability. VBS.TV. And this trailer for "Woven." ENTRY #686, 9:32am 2/12/08 Back in the late '80s when skating was comatose, there was an actual underground. Curb tricks were the shit. Everyone played in a band. There were no skateparks. No X-Games. No noses to pop off. No curb wax. Zines were made and distributed through the actual post office. For reals. Check out the show, "There is Xerox on the Insides of Your Eyelids" if you're in San Francisco this month (Needles and Pens Gallery). And watch for it to grow and travel over the year.  Thanks for reminding us, Rich. ENTRY #685, 9:25am 2/8/08 When I got an email with the subject "Thanks For Posting Up Skate and Annoy," I thought it might be from, well, Skate and Annoy. But no, it was from these guys; Sleestak. Certain things travel down the World Wide Superhighway like crazed rally cars... fast and out of control. Like O'Dell's Cardiel spots at VBS. So, even though you already know about it, I feel I'd be remiss not to mention O'Dell's Cardiel spots at VBS. John is next level shit... infectious enthusiasm. ENTRY #684, 9:38am 1/31/08 Free Your Spot. Groundsurf. Love Gods Way. Watch out for those evil gay bands... but feel free to listen to the safe bands. I always like to remind people to visit Skate and Annoy. Claire Alleaume ENTRY #683, 4:33pm 1/10/08 Wrong. Larson's Blog. Dude's been cruising around Asia for his new employer. Claims to be on an "inspiration" mission. OK, Tony. ENTRY #682, 11:16am 1/3/08 Oops. Said I'd be back yesterday... I'm getting closer and closer to losing this column to Mo. He's already bumped Carroll off over on Share the Air. The VP has been reduced to an archive. You may have also noticed that Larson was replaced on the Dump blog, by the young Eric Anthony. The kids are all right — it's the veterans who should be in fear. Well, apparently, this kid's not all right...Seen this trailer yet? Paranoid Park, bitch! Site of the Week: Scratcher Scratcher Blog of the Week: Teenage Runaway Interview of the Week: Patrick O'Dell at Mumble ENTRY #681, 3:00pm 12/27/07 See you all on January 2nd.
