Celebrate an incredible 20 years of DVS with Daewon Song this month by picking up a pair of his signature shoes, his 14th model over many years of loyal service.
It’s not often these days that skate shoes are made with extra durability to deal with technical wear, but Daewon has added a rubber ollie patch so that your feet can deal with grip tape rub, making your shoes last longer. These also come with a suede collar lining to help avoid heel flip blowouts and a non-slip vulcanized outsole with deep herringbone tread.
They come in either canvas or suede and are available now in your local skate shop. Look out for them.
DVS visited Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, to catch up with Adrien Coillard, William Monerris, George Poole, Antoine Roussel and Boris Proust, who took the task of filming and editing.
You should know that Paul Regan has arguably the best pop in the country and packs a plethora of technical prowess. With those two feats in mind get stuck in to his full bonus part from the Hull scene video Hull Metal Jacket. It’s possibly his best footage to date.
You can order the DVD by messaging for one from this FB page.
Antosh Cimoszko is back with another rad Canadian edit from the Vancouver scene in Side Two. Look out for footage of Dylan Fulford, Kam Edmunds, Donald Glover, Snarf, Mikey Ray, Ty Peterson, Will Blakley and more.
Welcome skate shop have stitched together and re-edited highlights from the Propeller Raw Files for a 20 minute special with tunes from Wu Tang, Fugazi, McLusky, Morrissey and more. Get the teas on, it’s a good one.
We dedicate Go Skateboarding Day to Alison Morrison who sadly lost her life for sticking up for her son. May she rest in peace.
If there’s one edit you should watch ahead today’s GSD malarkey it’s Mike Arnold’s full part from the Skateboard Cafe’s ‘Alfresco’ flick. Edit of the Week.
Dom Henry‘s new Politic edit got the tongues wagging ou there, and rightly so.
Across the pond, Birdhouse ripper Clive Dixon dropped a killer new part.
Nick Jensen‘s new shoe collab with Isle and Lakia would have made Roy Orbison proud. Look out for these at your local skate shop this summer.
Clive Dixon’s latest full length edit has pretty much everything you would want to see in a full part, but this ridiculous kick flip towed from a motorbike steals to the show on the gif front.
This was the most shared in this week’s daily gifs on our Tumblr page, follow it for the best tricks on the web.
Travel edit of the Week goes to the Lifeblood crew with Mason Merlino, Kevin Kowalski and more destroying backyard bowls and Oregon parks cut to Rudimentary Peni.

This week’s useless skateboard invention comes in the form of the FlappyBoard. Why man-handle it with a mallgrab when you can just fold it and put it in your rucksack? It could certainly work for the older folk who still love street skating at 40 but feel too embarrassed to be carrying a rig about town.
In all seriousness though, this is yet another crock of absolute crap that will never take off but you have to admire the fact that some students worked out how to engineer paper, plastic and air to form this foldable skateboard as part of their University project.

The good folk at CANVAS are currently putting the finishing touches to the Campus Pool project in Bristol whilst also being up to their ears in concrete at the ongoing contruction on Bath’s new skatepark. They have found time though this week to send us an exclusive peep at their new project coming to Liverpool this autumn, so enjoy the first look at the final design plans.
Liverpool locals will be stoked on the news that this new build, funded by Liverpool City Council, is scheduled to be constructed in Newsham Park. The park itself was opened in 1868 and due to its status as grade 2 listed, this new spot will be made in buff coloured concrete due to its associated planning requirements. So yep, it’s going to be a very posh looking one.
The skatepark will also feature the following treats:
4.5ft – 5.5ft bowl with roll over
Brick flat bank and a long mellow bank with a small ledge
3ft bowled corneR
Up block with manny pad
Long mellow ledge spanning 2 platform levels.
Long steep hipped bank with grindable lip grading to the floor (Barcelona Esq)
Wembley gap with large handrail and Hubba
Small low level Hubba and handrail
Small taco ¼ with grindable lip and bank transfer – Taco has been positioned to create snake run with adjacent long mellow 2ft ¼ with hip
Pier 7 style manny pad with banked edges
4.5ft bowled ¼ with hips
Flat bar, blocks and pole jam wedge
And…a 3m long US style granite parking lot kerb. The same kerb that CANVAS are installing in several parks over the summer – Victoria Park in Bath being the first.
This project has started already and if all goes to plan this new fun palace, found on Gardners Drive will be ready to skate at the end of September/early October. Get hyped and follow the updates at the CANVAS Facebook page.
If you are Liverpool based you may also get stoked on the plans for the city to host a new ‘glow in the dark’ skatepark, rumoured to be coming your way this summer. See the designs here.
Watch Mason Merlino, Kevin Kowalski and a host of other Lifeblood team riders get stuck into backyard bowls and Oregon parks cut to the one and only sounds of Rudimentary Peni.
