The news that filtered through the web last week that City Surf skate shop has had to close down after 30 years of service in Cardiff was gutting. Huge love to Darren Evans and everyone who has sailed the good ship there for so long. Truly incredible service.

Support your local skate shop as the good people who own them put their heart and soul into making sure your community has the best goods to ride give you everything. Take in this new tribute edit from the Spit and Sawdust crew.

Andy Evans is back with more tongue-in-cheek skateboarding goodness from the South Coast of England. As usual, nobody is safe but the likes of Bob Sanderson, Darran Nolan, Double J, Pete King, Dave Chesson, Marc Churchill, Alex Hallford Matt Ransom, Mike Wright, Stevie Thompson, Liam Teauge Kris Vile, Jussi Korhonen are all involved amongst others.

Just In Time will be coming soon. For now, enjoy the first trailer.

Thrasher’s annual world prize this year has gone to Real Skateboards’ new pro Kyle Walker who has laid down incredible skating all year long. Congratulations to this Oklahoman ripper.

The good dudes over at Juice sent us this today so get hyped on a new documentary, Made In Venice that will be heading to the UK at some point once the US premieres are aired.

Venice Beach and skateboarding need no introduction. The scene started there in California with the Dogtown crew and has graced every country since. It took years though for this area to have its own skatepark and the story of this docu takes you back in time throughout that history to present times with the story of legendary Venice local, Jesse Martinez who transformed the scene today by sheer graft to get a park for the Venice locals. Essentially, this is going to be a very inspiring piece of film about how skateboarders can work together through many struggles, to bring joy to the next generation, so expect a gritty ride from one of the most hardened out there.

All sorts of names from the scene are involved from Christian Hosoi and C.R. Stecyk III to Skip Engblom, the late Jay Adams, Jeff Ho, Aaron Murray, Scott Oster, Jim Muir from Suicidal Tendencies and loads more.

Literally cannot wait to see this, enjoy the trailer and await further screening news.
