This is one of those news pieces that deserves putting the kettle on in advance and preparing 33 minutes of skateboard viewing.
Yep, Lifeblood Skateboards released their full length online yesterday which is stuffed full of great skating from Frank Faria, Johnny Turgesen, Dalton Dern, Mason Merlino, Cody Lockwood, and Kevin Kowalski. Get the teas on and enjoy We Must Bleed today.
December 1st marks the day that Gary Scott Davis aka GSD, invented the Boneless (originally called the Boneless One).
To celebrate one of the best tricks in skateboarding, various skate mags, blogs etc will be celebrating this day by publishing photos and footage of bonelesses thanks to our friend at Soletech, Don Brown who came up with the idea. So if you want to be involved in this fun, send your pics and footage or both to us and we will run them on this thread below.
The boneless has been hucked out and mastered by so many amazing skaters over the years in so many different ways that we could be here talking about it all week. Thankfully we have a week to do exactly that so start thinking about who does the best bonelesses out there and throw them into the comments below.
To reminisce a few classics, the Gonz has a cute boneless and loves to chuck them into random situations. Neil Blender has an awesome boneless in his trick tank and then you have the likes of Tony T, Sean Goff, Jeff Phillips, Ludacrooks, Jeff Grosso, Lance Mountain, Ben Raemers….fuck there are so many who huck the bone.
Get involved in this for the hell of it and we will host your photos below. Your submissions don’t have to be new, as boneless ones never age. Get amongst it and dig out one for the sheer hell of it today. It goes without saying, but please share this link with friends you know who love a boneless.
To make sure we don’t piss off any photographers, please have permission to send your snaps to us by letting us know you have permission to post this on our site and please leave us with the photographer’s name for a credit.
Thanks Zac.
