Ali Boulala 50 stairs in a day from Flip ‘Sorry’ video

ali_boulala_50_stair_ollie_flip_sorry_skateboard

If you are old enough to remember this video hitting screens back in 2002 there’s a good chance you would have not forgotten this beastly ollie attempt by Ali Boulala filmed by French Fred for Flip’s epic ‘Sorry’ video.

This new footage features never-before-seen clips of Ali attempting the leap of faith, tackling 50 stairs in one day, and said last week on his FB page that: “This is by far the gnarliest thing I have ever filmed. He did on 2 separate occasions, including on a drizzling day, which makes it even crazier. Maybe it’s possible, maybe Ali could have done it with the right conditions.”

Who do you think would be able to make this 25 stair ollie today? Watch this archived gem and then discuss.

If the sound of a skater owned company with heritage in the scene is music to your ears, then HUF’s legacy is something unique to take in and cherish. Keith Hufnagel’s army impressed across Europe and then chose Manchester and London as their preferred destinations to show off their impressive shoe team in the UK. Following a signing at Note on Monday afternoon and some street shredding in between rain showers, a visit to London’s Slam City Skates went down ahead of this demo that attracted a full house on the sunny side of the Thames.

The crowds were four people deep at Southbank, the team were 10 crew strong with Keith Hufnagel, Josh Matthews, Kevin Terpening, Brad Cromer, Dan Plunkett, Joey Pepper, Peter Ramondetta and newly signed team riders Dylan Rieder and Austyn Gillette in tow with Thrasher fam. Enjoy our footage filmed on the day by Dan Buck Joyce and his Black Magic happy stick set to the sounds of Babysitter.

Nirvana’s Sub Pop contract posted online

It’s been a crazy Nirvana week. Firstly Dave Grohl reminisced the unheard demo’s on the forthcoming ‘In Utero’ 20th Anniversary boxset on XFM, Krist Novoselic did the same, you can find those streams below.

Producer Steve Albini then dropped a completely open recollection of how In Utero was recorded, slagged off the ‘Parasites’ that gave the album bad reviews and refused to discuss anything to do with Courtney Love. You can hear that here. It’s a killer interview. Sub Pop also posted their original contract with the band as you can see above. $600 well spent as they say.

To end this 3 days of Nirvana goodness, Anton Corbijn’s ‘director’s cut’ of ‘Heart Shaped Box‘ has just been released for the very first time to the web. Seedy, dark and desperately relevant, it certainly takes you back some.

P-Rod launches new beer company

A new American beer company called Saint Archer has been launched by Paul Rodriguez, Mikey Taylor and Josh Landan this week. It seems that all the talk about him leaving Plan B and setting up a new company were true, but were you expecting a brewery?

From these interviews it’s clear to see that this is a shrewd investment. Raise a glass.

Skateboarder Magazine to close

It’s a sad day for skateboarding as Skateboarder Magazine has been folded in the USA after almost 50 years of publishing skate related content in print and its recent digital service. Their final issue will be released in October.

The legendary magazine was axed following their publishing company Bonnier Corporation selling its TransWorld Media properties in May this year to GrindMedia who own a bunch of extreme sports magazines.

The history of this particular mag reaches back to when skateboarding was known as sidewalk surfing. The mag has relaunched a few times over the last 49 years but this a massive kick in the teeth to the skateboard industry and another example of suits killing off skateboarding’s incredible history.
