Get stoked on the fact that Youness Amrani has turned pro for Almost after giving everything for the deck company for years. Almost have release a video on his AmYears, and his name can now be found on their new Superhero deck series out this month. Check out the full series here.
It’s not often you see skateboarders win top prizes at the Oscars in Hollywood, but on this occasion it’s true. Girl Skateboards cheese Spike Jonze topped last night’s honours by picking up the award for best original screenplay for his new film ‘Her’. Pretty Sweet achievement.
Santa Cruz have jumped on the Star Wars thing and rolled out a promo for their new Lucasfilms approved deck run. Jason Jessee leads the way for Emmanuel Guzman, Justin Strubing, Sid Melvin, Shuriken Shannon, Josh Borden, and top dog Darth Vader.

A 33 year old ‘trained athlete’ decides to enter Devonshire Green skatepark in Sheffield, racially abuse the skateboarders quietly enjoying themselves, and as a result gets served. How many times have we had to endure this worldwide? Why do these idiots always seem to turn up at spots and do their best to try and piss everyone off?
The fact this guy called Shaun a monkey is a disgrace. He is lucky to have driven himself home, in his boxing gloves of course.
Here’s the full thing:
