The residents of Bristol kicked off 2010 with one of the best UK skateboard videos of the year with Bristol’s Finest and are back with a brand new edit this morning courtesy of Mr. George Nevin.
The full crew is in force as they give not only Bristol but the entire country a good seeing to in the space of three minutes. Featuring Korahn Gayle, Tom Gibbs, Dylan Hughes, Dan Wileman, Barney Page and many more. Kick start your week with this.
Another week another edit from RVCA on their european tour. Yet again, we’re treated to 5-6 minutes of styled out gnar from the likes of Leo Romero, Cairo Foster, Spanky, Nestor Judkins, Barney Page and Cory Kennedy.
As usual Leo gets down, Barney stomps it and Cairo Foster will make you spit your tea/coffee everywhere. Take note.
Willow has bounced back from leaving Flip and popped up on the Almost Skateboards am team.
Rumours were rife across the internet over the last few weeks but the German tank has a fresh welcome edit and is also filming a part for a forthcoming Transworld video. Get hyped.

It seems that true fans of the The xx are mystified by this cover of Crystalised by Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz that was released this weekend. The track was recorded for a Live Lounge Session for the BBC and has split opinions so far across the web. What do you think of this version, beauty or beast?
The Bones Wheels team have dropped a banging new video trailer for their forthcoming DVD dropping on January 31st next year. Their team has grown in depth and strength in the last few years and now boasts an impressive pro roster and talented ams covering all terrain so this could be one of the first really impressive DVD releases of 2011.
Look forward to footage of Jaws, Randy Ploesser, Ryan Decenzo, Marty Murawski, Chad Bartie, David Gravette, and Adam Dyet, Jake Duncombe, Ronnie Creager, Jimmy Cao, John Motta and many more. Let’s hope that Nicky Howells and the other UK team riders get some footage in there too.
