Ed Hubert has unleashed footage leftover from his New Level edit that dropped 2 weeks back.

It’s been 10 years since his last full part but Japanese ripper Shin Okada is back with a full section and interview on VHS.

A brand new edit from Tom Sykes titled ‘Keep Pushing‘ from Sheffield’s Lives and Levels crew is online today. Take in footage of Dan Beall, Matlok Bennet Jones, Josh Kerr, Joe Paget and more.

Spanish tech head Manolo Robles has always delivered video edits that you have to watch twice and this new part is no different. This new footage for Darkstar is yet another leap into the future of technical skateboarding featuring a plethora of quick footed street tricks taking Skate Edit of the Week.

Name your favourite tricks.

You may remmeber Brad Cromer for his nosepick at Southbank this August. This month the Floridian has joined the Brixton Union and will be repping their clothing from here on in. Enjoy his welcome edit that was released overnight.

French Fred’s Tapes have unleashed never before seen Lakai footage filmed in Mallorca back in 2004 whilst filming for the Fully Flared video. Click play for a trip with Scott Johnston, Brandon Biebel, Cairo Foster, Marc Johnson, Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Jeff Lenoce, and Kelly Bird.

All of the new éS range can be found here.

When the production of éS shoes slowed down to a halt back in 2001 it sent a shiver down the spine of many skateboarders who 100% back skater owned companies. The changing times forced Soletech to put the brand on ice and concentrate on Emerica and Etnies but it looks like there could be light at the tunnel for one of the most prestigious footwear brands in skateboarding.

It was welcome news this week to see that éS have relaunched this year, even if for now, only in Japan. The classic Accel shoe will be available out there following a presence at the Interstyle tradeshow which we guess could be a test to see if the skateboard scene has a desire to wish it back on their feet. We can only hope that this becomes a reality and also that the current generation of new skateboarders realise just how important it is to back skater owned companies. Watch this space.

Joe Pease has been working on another of his magical clips. Check the length of Kyle Leeper‘s powerslide.

Send Help Skateboards have announced today that Marty Murawski has joined their team in one of the best welcome edits you will see this year – and in typical Marty style of course. Enjoy this.
