We havent been posting much footage here on shitskate, truth is we have been hording footage for a new video. If you havent heard of Shitbyrd clothing then now you have, It is a clothing company that Dave kaule started about 6 months ago for fun. The team consists of Dave Kaule, Chris Porterfield, Steve Dimbokowitz, and young superstar Austin Malone. The guys have been filming like crazy and the video, called, “HOT LETTUCE” promises to be a dandy, check back for updates and possibly some footage!!!!! Also here at Pittskate, i recently posted “Ape Shit”, an alltime classic PGH vid and i am currently in the process of posting “Park Footage Dont Count”, Triad, The Dead Will Rise”, AND “Jackalope”, all featuring tons of PGH skate action. Watch them and “ALWAYS SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKATE SCENE”!!!

I stole these links from another Pittsburgh site and liked them, so im going to add it to the links. Saw some nick tedder footy on one of them and got stoked.There are lots of footy on these sites, mostly young burgh rippers. FWSSKATEBLOG AND PITTSGNAR

People always ask me if i can get them a copy of Ape Shit, a video we made in 1996, since i am too cheap to get dvds made of it i decided to put it up on here. this vid was edited with a canon hi-8 camera and an RCA vcr. It is chocked full of PGH skate action, some spots that are no longer around, people who no longer skate, full parts by locals such as Craig Hanna,Wil Chufo,Ryan Sivertson, Jesse Thomas,Craig Repine, Jay Rakieski,Dave Kaule and Steve Dimbokowitz. There is a park section featuring dave and steve and watch for pros in the video such as Kevin Taylor, Jamie Thomas, and Kristian Svitak. I finally got around to making this post. Now, for your viewing pleasure, the epic skate Pittsburgh skate video Ape Shit is available to view click here to watch!

There are tons of pics up on the photo page. I will add more as i get the time and pics.

There is a new clothing company in town………. beware, or the bird is gonna shit ya!!!

Wanna see the true definition of “abusing your authority”. This guy takes his frustrations out on a fourteen year old. This is a perfect example of what happens when they give a badge to a big, complete douchebag and turn him loose on the streets. A police officer’s job does not entail teaching life lessons about manners and proper english, and it definitely is not part of his job to throw 14 year olds on the ground, take their property, and shove them back down when they attempt to sit back up. Perhaps if this kid was older and a little bigger this guy would have gotten his clock cleaned, but then again he probably would’nt have been such a bully either. I’m pretty sure this went to court and this guy either lost his job or was suspended for 17 days with pay.

Someone made him a myspace page.

Jurgen just sent over a link to a video short from a recent trip to Austin.

Click Here to watch it.

The Jackalope premeire was completely out of control, loads of craziness went down. Dudes in Ohio are totally down for skating. Click here to see some pics.

Just got a message by carrier pigeon that Jeff the Gorilla Revilla has just launched the Blank Skate Mag. This is an online Pittsburgh mag featuring Pittsburgh skateboarders. Click the link above, read what it says, then click on the picture on the right to get to the mag. Everyone has a chance to contribute to the mag, all you have to do is get in touch with Jeff by calling the shop or emailing him and he will let you know how to contribute, this is a good thing for the skate scene so everyone should get involved………..contribute!!!!!

Just finished this little edit from various parks from around the burgh. Features the skating of Craig(the robo)Repine, Tim Beal, Steve Dimbokowitz, Jae Ruberto, Josh Bonnet, and Dave Kaule……….enjoy!!!

I was going through some files today and I found a full back-up of an old ShadySkates site circa 99. The site includes the infamous Rob vs. Tony and Pat Hawk email battle, a few quicktimes and some pics. Click Here to check it out.

Plus, I found one of the original Pittskate sites from back in the day. Click Here to peep it.

I was looking through old footage today, when i came across this edit that i made about 200 years ago, i thought it was funny, Craig(the robo) Repine suggested that i put it on the site.

Here is a little edit i threw together of Dave Kaule and Steve Dimbokowitz on a couple of trips to Evolutions skatepark in ohio.

Blankskates team rider Chris Morgan spent his 19th b-day fartin around on his skateboard, here is the footage from that day, also, here is another Chris Morgan montage, (great song).

Word is that the Funks and the hccrew are making another video due out 1 year from now, can’t wait. Here is a little diddy on myspace of them burning up the streets. And here is a link to another Pittsburgh site, i think Christian Senrud is doing, there is an austin kamfoooooosh interview on there, here is the only link i have, its not the homepage but you can get to everything from here.

I have to change this post because i upset a couple of people with my mean words. So here it is: Everyone knows the 885 skatepark was a pile of poop with bad lines, opposing euro gaps (duh), and giant worthless vert walls. what could have been a park as good as the skatepark of tampa ended up sucking ass but it was somewhere to go, heres a little edit of some footy we compiled there.

Here is a few videos that got lost on the old pittskate site because they never got onto the video page. At the bottom right are the links to all the Pittskate videos, I will be adding new ones as often as I can. As for these, one is from chenga world and one is from the old pancakes park in washington pa. later
