All Aboard is a stunning new film documenting a bunch of friends temporarily living the vagrant life hopping trains from Florida to California and tearing up the streets on their journey. Accompanying the good warm days are the luxuries a tramp cannot afford, sleeping rough in urban landscapes can only bring vulnerable sleepless nights.
Watch the life affirming trailer below.

This week Caste released this edit of Nate Pezzillo to promote their latest collab with Traffic Skateboards, the edit also commemorates Nate’s new addition to the Traffic team.
Definitely one to feed the morning stoke right before you push out the door.
CASTE x TRAFFIC – Nate Pezzillo from Caste Quality on Vimeo.
A few weeks ago we were admiring Amandus Mortensen‘s backslide powercracker down a set of stairs on repeat. The result led to thoughts of others who can huck out steez sideways, all those fellow burners of urethane and the ones who are always thinking a little more creatively than the rest.
It’s not a “Best” tricks list, or indeed some lame attempt to turn over advertising, just my personal favourites from those that make me want to go out and skate.
If you think we’ve missed some classics, leave a link to a gif or footage in the comments atthe foot of the page. Big shout out to all the filmers who shot the footage, hosted on our Tumblr page daily.
1 – Harley Miller – Milk Skateboards in Lisbon
Milk Skateboards have been rising throughout the UK scene for the past few years now but back in 2014 they flew to Lisbon, Portugal and came home with this banging edit. Harley Miller took a classic on this mosaic bank, bonking over the top and powersliding his way down through to fakie. Sick trick.
2- Richie Jackson – TWS “And Now”
Richie has handfuls of tricks to choose from, although this one is what sparked my initial hook on skateboarding so I may be slightly biased. Seeing Richie perform this as part of a three piece line in the first skate flick I owned – Death Skateboards’ Escape from Boredom, and then again in this TWS video makes it even more rad that the erratic Aussie chose to go back and fry my brain on two separate occasions. If there were a Banana slide hall of fame, this would be first on the wall.
3 – Madars Apse – Future Nature
Element released Future Nature back in 2013 containing Madars Apse’s sick part which blew us all away. This gap to backside powerslide coming initially after a fs smith flip out in his opening line was a keeper. His level of unpredictability accompanied by absolute precision is held throughout the whole piece.
4 – Rémy Taveira – Antiz Skateboards: Out of the Blue
When Antiz announced the completion of their newest full length, Out of the Blue, everybody was buzzed. This beautiful moment from the quickfire feet of Rémy Taveira sure lived up to the name. His steezy backside powerslide moves gracefully across a drained, but still glistening pool into a bs tailside. Out of the Blue indeed.
5 – Hadrien Haverland – Cosy Ride Skate Shop
Hadrien rips up the Parisian pavement throughout this part with many tricks you certainly don’t see every day. The internet allows us to view countless video parts but the wait to find someone pop out of a powerslide into a lip trick has evaded me…until now.
6 – Hisasi Nakamura – (Instagram)
Hitting the manny pad at full charge Hisasi Nakamura loses no speed jamming his wheels into a powerslide momentarily before popping into a nose manual, as seen on our morning instagram feed.
7 – Patrick Melcher – Death Skateboards: Better Than Life
Melcher is typically known for his unorthodox approach to skateboarding, making everything look incredibly fun whilst maintaining a level of difficulty that makes you ponder your own game. This time, lurking the car parks at night, he’s spotted slipping across the tar, jamming up the poles into a sweet banana slide. Whether a spot like this is pure coincidence or a little bit of ingenuity we do not know.
Louie consistently pulls through with some of the most entertaining video parts known to man and this is only part of the reason why. He shows you exactly how these hideous pieces of street architecture should be used – with all four wheels, that’s how. Total ruler of the quirky trick bag.
9 – Albert Nyberg – The Sour Solution
The Sour Solution video is heavy hitting and comes with an entire catalog of NBD’s that will blow your brain apart. Albert Nyberg is one of those who you simply have no clue what he’s going to do next; whether he’s hoisting himself over a handrail or skating something as simple as this. This flick had so many tricks to choose from but the fast feet and sheer fluidity of this whole move is to be commended. Everything is done smoothly although it looks like it took no thought at all.
10 – Phil Zwijsen – Hydroplane
This list would be incomplete without the inclusion of Phil Zwijsen who skates anything in sight whatever the weather. Taking full advantage of the slip and eat your teeth conditions, this clip quickly took the internet by storm. If you haven’t seen this before then just take a look and let this one speak for itself.

Go Skateboarding Day is always going to be a biggie in our calendars. This year was a much bigger one in Blackpool as Big Woodys shop also turned into a teen. To mark the shops 13th birthday and Go Skateboarding Day it was nice of Z-Flex to hire the park for the day and supply product that was given out through hectic jams and best trick contests.
Check what was thrown down on the day in this 6 minute edit full of carnage filmed and edited by Jake Powell.
Here’s to another 13 years!
You don’t get awarded the last part in one of the best skateboard videos of all time for no reason. Anthony Van Engelen‘s commitment to this flick is immense, captured here in another 7 minutes of pure braun for Propeller.
Look out for a Jason Dill cameo who seems to have a lot of throwaway that surely could have gone into the final cut. Guess he has the final say and didn’t think it was good enough but there’s some great stuff in here. Oh, and the presence of the one and only Lee Ralph. Cannot wait for his documentary.
Andrew Allen is an absolute destroyer of all terrain laid before him, so much power with a flair that packs a punch. We certainly approve.
Dustin Dollin absolutely destroyed himself filming for Vans Propeller, check this three and a half minutes of unbelievable “B-roll” footage and feel every last slam.
David Smith brings you his fourth independent skate video “BB4” filmed predominantly in Tempe, Arizona.
Catch a little bit of Matt Jones taking a twist to every spot he skates in this newly released part from the video; you’re in for a few surprises.
