The Slamtrick Contest in Ravenna, Italy, saw Severin von Ow of 5thDistrict Skateboards win the “Best Technical Trick” prize with this, frankly pisstake, backside kickflip fakie nosegrind revert.
Trick names as long as my arm, things are a bit early 90’s again. I swear, massive orange tshirts and balloon pants will make a come-back soon.
Not only that, but Seve also won the eS Game of Skate in Zurich last week as well. Kid’s good, expect to see more media frenzy around this guy soon.

In a recent interview, the drummer said that the band had completed backing tracks for their new album and are aiming to release it in February next year.
On the sound of the album he said it doesn’t sound like last album St. Anger, claiming the new record is “more dynamic, and a little more varied, and it has lots of different nutty Metallica stuff on it”.
To celebrate American Independence Day [which is today, July 4th], Q-Tip has put up Work It Out on his MySpace.

The Plastic Constellations have announced they will be bringing out a new album in early 2008.
The Minneapolis dwellers, who include Doomtree’s Lazerbeak, posted a bulletin on their myspace claiming they had missed the beautiful summer weather [send that over here lads!] by locking themselves in a “damp, humid, grey, unlit basement and hammering a smorgasboard of new jams that will comprise our upcoming full length record.”
The record is once again teaming the band up with Frenchkiss Records and the band promise to upload new songs to their myspace in the coming months. Awesome!
The pig in that video from Go Skateboard Day that laid the smack-down on those kids has been cleared of any wrong doing, despite obviously being an absolute cunt and over-reacting to kids riding planks of wood.
An internal police investigation has concluded that Hot Springs Officer Oink, sorry, Joey Williams, used “appropriate force” in dealing with the situation, and was only held responsible for leaving a handcuffed suspect alone whilst chasing another kid. If that’s what constitutes appropriate force, I’d love to see what he does to jaywalkers or shoplifters. He probably shoots them.
Prick.
Jason ‘The Kid’ Adams has left Enjoi to return to Black Label, with the Enjoi pranksters giving him an advert as a leaving present.
No real reasons for the move yet officially, but the advert says it all really. And they have apologised for giving him a panda tattoo. Well gnarly mate.
