Swampy’s Baghead Kills part
If you want it raw today you’ve found a winner here. Watch Swampy smash it always for his part in Forde Brookfield’s Baghead Kills video. Pure British crust.
Chocolate’s Jesus Fernandez unleashed a new section of his technical wizardry this weekend for Bones. Smooth as glass as ever.
This is a truly amazing find. French Fred’s tapes has evidence of the Flip team visiting Tom Penny when he lived in France back in 1999. This archived footage introduces a young Bastien Salabanzi who was on the up and starting out his career with the best in the game on his first Flip trip as the filming of Sorry began.
I can’t watch this mini ramp sesh footage without feeling like i’m on mushrooms. Plenty of bangers in here too from Rowley, Penny, Boulala and many more. Gold.

Vans Propeller London premiere
Let’s kick this off by saying that the hype surrounding this film before it aired at the Prince Charles cinema in London was completely justified. It’s an incredible production that has zero filler and parts that will leave your jaw on the floor. Greg Hunt obviously worked his socks off to get this completed at the highest level and left no stones unturned. It’s so damn good that it feels like everyone has the ender.
At the world premiere, Geoff Rowley mentioned that Propeller “is a raw video, like one you grew up with” and he’s spot on. Doused in fast moving rock n’roll, each section is peppered with incredible skateboarding, packing gnar and tech from a crew who broke bones to make it special. Let’s hope that those skaters who grow up with Propeller see full length production as the norm, and bring back the full length as a priority over web clips in the future. It’s night’s like these where you wished the internet never existed.
The premiere itself was packed to the gills and over subscribed with people who had travelled from all over the UK. There were no seats for us, so we were asked to watch it upstairs where we joined Sidewalk’s Horse, Henry from Grey Mag and about 10 others and watched it with a Rob Smith introduction instead of the full cast. I’m sure the atmosphere downstairs was electric though, as each part just takes the piss. No spoilers of course as you will have to downnload it and watch it on iTunes on May 5th when it drops worldwide, but it’s a ridiculously impressive skateboard video and one to keep.
Plenty of booze was consumed at the House of Vans afterwards, where Steve Van Doren made burgers for everyone and was joined by Lutheran, Zorilla, Hunt, Rowley, Trujillo and more of the pro team. At 1am, Steve Caballero and Christian Hosoi decided it was time for a bowl sesh. Enjoy this drunk cam footage and snaps from the phone. Go get Propeller as soon as you can.

Jambo’s Big Wallride battle
You’ve seen this spot before right? A crew of 16 went there to see their mate Jambo roll away, but not after a battle that left him bloody and torn for a wallride. The reaction is priceless and sums up why we all love skateboarding.
Only one winner here.
The DIY skatespot underneath the I-471 bridge in Newport, Kentucky is the latest to get recognition from locals after hard graft was laid out to build something for the local scene in an empty location that started back in 2007. Enjoy this trailer for an upcoming documentary on how it all came together.
If you are looking to build you own DIY spot, Red Bull have shipped tools and concrete to 16 skate shops in the UK this month for you to pick up for free. Head here for all details.
