The Red Bull Seek and Destroy road trip / contest is in it’s third leg now, and I think I’ve only heard of one before..? I guess the guys are rolling under the radar, and judging by the hijinks that go down on these trips, I reckon everyone involved is riding beneath the police radar too!

So, to break it down, the Seek and Destroy 3 trip had 4 teams travelling through Miami, Atlanta and Raleigh, hitting up various designated spots in a bid to walk away with $500 for each best trick and a whopping $10,000 for the overall winner. Despite the big purse up for grabs, not everyone seemed too hyped to perform. I guess that might be down to the itinerary and the schedule- 3 days!

So, who’s hot and who’s not, I hear you scream, well for that information I need to introduce each team: Team Los Angeles with Chris Roberts and Joey Brezinski, Team North Carolina with Kenny Hughes and Dan Murphy, Team Florida with Danny Renaud and Joel Meinholtz, and Team UK with Benny Fairfax and Olly Todd.

You’re probably pretty stoked on reading that last entry, and our beloved duo don’t disappoint. I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you that Olly and Benny are currently living large with a cool 10 G’s in their pocket, and deservedly so. Honestly, looking at each team’s montage, I’d be hard pushed to say anyone actually went for it more than the UK team.

Biased? Well, not when you think team Florida invited a bunch of their mates and Danny Renaud wasted his talent away in a jail cell after wrecking a hotel room – What’s the point??? Team’s NC and LA just seemed like they were having a good laugh and ran with the ball, but that doesn’t mean Joey Brezinski and Kenny Hughes didn’t pocket some cash for best tricks on the manual pad and 13 stair rails respectively. Another best trick worth mentioning is Joel Meinholtz’ alleyoop wallride to fakie 50-50 atop a wall. Sick!

The video winds down with the after-party hosted by Ol’ Dirty Clyde (Singleton) and his newly acquired gold fronts. Whilst suffers the unremunerated consequences of his acts (dumbass!), the UK team get well and truly plastered having bagged the cash and a newfound respect overseas. I even saw Olly Todd cry, it was so emotional!

Document Magazine

It seems like road trips pitching various skate teams head to head, are the latest craze to hit skateboarding and everyone wants to have a go at it. Obviously some trips look better than others, but skateboarding and travelling are 2 activities that run hand in hand since the dawn of Board time, so either way the initiative of all those involved deserves a pat on the back.

The British variation of celebrity boot camp is the Big Push: a trip that heads 4 teams with one guest skater across the UK with various tasks to achieve (drop in here, film a trick there, wear this, do that…) along the 1000 mile journey, document it all and make it back to a certain destination before deadline and last orders for a right old knees up.

Points don’t exist, but a video is produced at the end which skaters can watch and vote for. The mastermind behind the Big Push is Document Magazine, and this second leg saw Blueprint (+ Brophy), A Third Foot (+Div Adams), East (+Ollie Tyreman) and Death Skateboards (+Ricky Oyola) suffer sleep deprivation and malnourishment for our viewing pleasure.

The Big Push came free with an issue of Document Magazine dedicated to the events that took place, so it shouldn’t cost you more than a few quid, and honestly it’s chock full of rad skate malarkey. Without going into too much detail (because a lot went down), here are some highlights from each teams efforts:

A Third Foot went all out to skate the shittiest spots and tightest transitions. Something worth rewinding is Dougy’s bowl schralpage. Something worth fast forwarding is Avi’s naked body!

Blueprint edited a clean montage of sick skating, despite the horrible circumstances they had to live through. Something worth rewinding is Tukka’s line at Stoke Plaza. Something worth fast forwarding is the opening credits.

Death are always down for a laugh so expect to see all the pranks and hi jinx in this section. Add to that the fact that Dan Cates will lead his team through Hell and beyond to skate some of the UK’s best kept secret spots and you’ve got a wicked section. Something to rewind is Potter’s crailslide in the bluetile deep end. Something to fast forward is the team singing Phil Collins.

Finally, East are seriously blowing up and taking the crown for killing spot after spot after spot. Whether it’s Mackey doing a Huf, or Korahn switching things up, these guys have got all the bases covered. Something worth rewinding is Mackey’s brick channel ollie. Something worth fast forwarding … Don’t know actually? I guess you can see who I’ll vote for.

A big round of applause to everyone involved and the Document Staff for instigating a productive trip that focuses more on the actual skating and having a laugh, rather than the points and cash prizes.

I peeped the trailer for Modern Love a while ago and knew that it was something special – One of the tricks featured in the promo even got pipped as Mooove (Crolly and Ferens)!

Anyway, fast forward 6 months and copies of this Canadian video are few and far between, so Europe doesn’t really get a look in. Damn…

That is until I stumbled across a wicked website repping all good skate things Canadian: www.skatenewspot.com Thanks to this treasure chest of sick footage North of the border, a link was found for the illicit download of Modern Love. Finally! Sometimes you’ve got to thank the internet for spreading the love…

The line-up for this feature is as follows: Mike McDermott, Aaron Rosenblatt, Mike McCourt, Mick Lemoine, Kenny Haralson, Jeremy Gelfant, Paul Spencer, Jason Crolly, Rod Ferens and Travis Stenger. Only a couple of those names probably mean anything to non-Canadians but trust me they are all part of the elite talent the country has to offer.

The sweetest thing about this video which make it a viewing pleasure is the editing technique filmer Ryan McGuigan has used. Ryan interlaces the footage with Black and White show reels, snippets of cult movies and other comedy shows, but more importantly Ryan has under stood the importance of the past. Each skater has at least one trick featured that was filmed on an old Hi-8 dad-cam back in the day, and this gives Modern Love a lot more depth than your average skate tape. Plus, some of the tricks brought back from the past are absolutely valid by today’s standards of gnarliness and tech.

The soundtrack is wicked too: Instead of opting for a Hip-Hop heavy backdrop, Ryan has sourced the beats and come up with the tracks that originated the urban anthems. Do you remember when Wu Tang dropped that Shaolin Soul? Well Ryan does.

Without going into too much detail about who does what where, when and why? I’ll focus on a couple of the riders; For starters Mike McDermott who opens the video and demonstrates his incredible manual skills. Mike has recently been added to the all new Habitat International team, so you know he’s got the flavour. Next is Jason Crolly who embodies the word ‘burly’ like it was his middle name. Good, hard, solid skating from this powerhouse.

Another solid skater, but verging on the tech side of things is Rod Ferens. Rod obviously enjoys samples and scratches more than slam dancing and stadium rock, but nonetheless his staunch build doesn’t half skate fast! Rod eats ledges for breakfast and threads sick street lines like a Timbaland laces the beats.

Finally, let me introduce you to Travis Stenger. You might recognize this name, and if you don’t then wake the fuck up! Travis is bolts, picture perfect street tech and ballistic pop. Looking at his attire, it looks like Travis has turned heads at one of the most stylish skate camps out there (name withheld to avoid free publicity). Kick flip backside tailslide frontside shove-it out? On a waist high ledge..? Switch backside flip a proper sized bench like it was a walk in the park..? Yep, Travis is good.

If you see Modern Love in a skateshop – buy it! This is definitely up there in the top three skatevideos to drop over the last year. Like MC Hammer said: “You can’t touch this!”

13th December 2006

When I was informed of the line-up for 411‘s latest issue, I was stoked already. Dubbed the Chico Brenes Issue, I knew that the next 35 minutes would be oozing with style and finesse. You see, Chico might not be the guy pushing the envelope everyday or flogging himself to toy or car adverts on the regular, but it’s a fact that anyone who has a sense of style on a skateboard usually picks the Nicaraguan Chico as their inspiration. Hell! JB Gillet states that Chico is the best skater out there!

Anyway, Volume 14 Issue number 4 of 411VM (confusing- sometimes I prefer the old numerical labelling…) boasts profile on Chico (d’uh!), the DVS Chupa Cabra tour of South America, check outs with Andre Genovesi, Robert Lopez Mont and Danny Cerezini, a trip to Greece with the Planet earth crew and your usual opening chaos. Plus the whole thing designed and packaged by the Crowfarmer Bob Kronbauer– Watch out for the giant hamster! That’s a lot of good stuff for one video magazine, so a chronological run through is necessary.

To begin, the age-old Chaos section has been resumed to a montage of nothing but bangers. A special mention has to go to Chris Haslam who puts down one of the gnarliest rock fakies I have ever seen at that one metal fencing quarterpipe spot outside Barcelona. You might think a rock fakie is the bare minimum, but just check how he controls his board to get back down. Nuff said.

Then the show hits the road with the Planet Earth team flying off to Greece for some street schralpage. Nothing but stylers on this team with Ed Selego, Kenny reed, Soy Panday, Paul Shier, Jack Sabback and a guy who reminds me of Ocean Howell but I might be mistaken. In any case the smoothness is there on show as Greece proposes some it’s finest marble. I only have one beef with this part and that’s the contrived poise with which a couple of the riders skate. I won’t name names, but watching this section should make it obvious. Throwing odd shapes into a trick doesn’t make you better- it just makes you stick out like a ponce.

The next section comes from a Puerto Rican powerhouse making a name for himself as ‘El Destroyer’. I always had Robert Lopez Mont snubbed as a bit of a crash test dummie when it came to skating, but this part has stopped all that pretence full stop. Robert is gnarly as f*** but actually pulls tricks off smoothly. I suggest rewinding this section a few times just to try and grasp the true danger of the kickflips and slides Robert displays, and the speed at which he’s travelling for each trick.

Danny Cerezini drops in next, and it’s completely different from our Puerto Rican bad man. Danny slips very nicely into the category of street technician that has bred an army of amateurs ready to kill a ledge, rail or ditch at the drop of a (new Era) hat. Danny has grown up since the first footage we saw of him, and his skating has grown with him making this section a good one.

The third and final check out goes to one of the supposed hardest working amateurs in the game: Andre Genovesi. I think I have preached about Andre’s abilities before when I reviewed the Arcade video many moons ago. Well with style being of the essence nowadays, Andre can finally have his time to shine. One thing that you will notice, unless his ultra smooth skills had you fooled (which wouldn’t surprise me!), is how much switch skating goes down in this part. And I’m not talking about whimsy lines or the odd leap down a set of stairs. No- proper attacks on gnarly spots. For example, Andre looks asleep at the wheel when he switch crooks off an 8foot drop. Andre also gets the medal for gnarliest slam ever. He literally bounces like a ball. Harsh…

The second tour section to this 411VM is a proper one when the DVS team invite along on their Chupa Cabra tour of South America. Daewon Song, Torey Pudwill, Zered Bassett, Chico Brenes and Daniel Castillo rip it up something severe. Obviously daewon skates everything and innovates, whilst Zered cooks the cake and eats it with one of the tastiest manuals I have ever seen. Finally, a tour section that got me stoked!

Thus, the curtain call is for the smooth operator himself, Chico Brenes. A sweet little montage of Chico’s sponsor me days and witness accounts from some of skateboarding’s biggest players sets the stage for a section dipped twice in style. The best thing about this section is you realise how hyped Chico’s skating can get you, as well as the fact that Chico is a super cool guy who actually enjoys getting old with his board, rather than bitter and contrived. Hats off to Chico.

Helas, that concludes the review of the latest 411VM Vol.14 Issue 4. Obviously there are some bonus sections on the DVD (Italy slam trick, Vans Showdown and Protec Pool party), but the overall package is strong already. Re-read this review if you don’t understand. I must mention two things though before signing off: Firstly, Torey Pudwill. Here is an amateur truly working to make a name for himself, with footage in three different sections. Someone hook this kid up proper because he’s growing into big things I tell you. Secondly, the European skaters actually get a reasonable amount of coverage in this issue with tricks from the likes of Anthony Lopez, Raul Navarro and more. Finally a sign of trans-globalization..? I say it every time but that’s because 411VM does it every time: This DVD is very good!

Before youtube, google video and all the other video hosting sites stormed the media like a pixellated plague, there were a few good websites any skater sitting in front of his screen could rely on for damn good footage.

Anyone who lived in a very wet place, or had a minimum of knowledge of the right places to look, must have come across Post 22.

This site was a top knotch platform for the North Carolina scene and delivered montage upon montage of unknown rippers bubbling at the brim of industry recognition. Do any of these names mean anything to you? Scotty Moore, Jed and Chad Shooter, Brett Abramsky, Ty Rhode, Tyler Tufty, Dan Murphy, Eric Hunt, Mike Swett, Jeremy Menard or Justin Brock? Give and take 2 or 3 of them, I didn’t think so.

I reckon the boys at Post 22- James Tupper and Travis Knapp Prasek- got pretty fed up of all the praise their little montages were getting via the web and internet forums, so the creation of Carolina Love was obviously overdue. I for one was never aware that North Carolina boasted so many spots; banks, stairs, ledges, rails… A street skater’s dream. However, for a brief geographical hint, North Carolina is situated slap bang in the middle of the East Coast of North America, so endless summers and spot blow-outs do not exist it would seem. In fact, NC gets each and every season, and it’s pretty refreshing to see a bunch of skaters doubled up in the sweater department as the avoid sliding on wet leaves and running into piles of snow.

But essentially, all you want to know is who kills it, right? Well, everyone comes through with above average parts that will keep you watching. Scotty Moore opens the doors with a solid mix of rail and ledge skating; Brett Abramsky threads the needle more than once as he speeds around town; Jed and Chad Shooter seem a little bit redneck for my liking but the pop out is worthy of a rewind; Tyler Tufty and Dan Murphy share a part and pump some serious pop into their game; the 2 friends sections are sweet with an appearance by ex-pat local Luda Crooks representing the smidgen of transition skating- something sorely missed from such a solid video; and then finally there’s Justin Brock a.k.a. the Wizard, and Real’s latest recruit. It comes as no surprise that Real picked this fruit out of the bunch because to describe Justin’s skating would be balls to the wall, solid and the go to guy. No half stepping.

Sadly, Post 22 no longer exists on the web (or at least there site is no longer updated), but you can still catch up with the NC scene by logging onto www.skatenc.com You will not be disappointed. Show some Carolina Love and track this one down.

*The video doesn’t have any music credits, but the soundtrack is good varying from the rhymes of the Sugar Hill Gang to the guitar riffs of the Pixies.

Presented by the Story Film makers Guild

I must admit that my prior knowledge of skateboarding from New Zealand is minimal- in fact, any knowledge I might have of the country is minimal. However, thanks to the great initiative of the Story Store’s Film Makers Guild, I can now say start an in depth conversation on the skaters, spots and overall style of the Aotearoa scene at future cocktail parties.

The second chapter of the Guild is Forays; a short DVD from the 09 Video Factory featuring Brandon Foo, Brett Chan, Rush Fay, Glenn Wignall and cameos by Chey Ataria and Justin Watene. I doubt very heavily that you have heard of any of those guys, but that’s what the Story Guild is for! Plus the spots are sick!

Clean editing and segway action introduces us to the New Zealand skate scene, and the first thing that hit me as I watched was the variety of terrain everyone skates. You’ve got rough surfaces, smooth surfaces, good street ledges and mucky transition, the modern classic steep bank and the good old manual pad. Everything is there, and everything is skated- hard. I’m not sure if it’s the I-paths, brown cords or exotic environment, but Forays had me daydreaming about Habitat and their visual dynamics..? Not so much the ‘what you’re doing’, but the ‘how you’re doing it’ modus operandi results in some clean lines and good variety.

Despite everyone having individual strong parts, the two guys that stood out for me were Brett Chan and the curtain caller Glenn Wignall. To start with Brett, one person pops to mind as you watch his Asiatic frame leap and bound with unique style- London’s Ben Jobe. Brett has understood the art of cruising and effortless madness on his board. Anything from casper stalls to downhill manuals in the rain. If you have any emotion for board riding, then Brett’s part should have you running out that door in search of insane terrain.

As I mentioned earlier, the end part goes to Glenn Wignall and quite rightly so- the bugger is off the charts! Glenn’s part gets a brief intro of him ripping the shit out of one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets- a long V shaped storm drain with a 75 degree bank at one end. Needless to say, Glenn can skate anything, and always with style- kickers, transition, polejams to make Wade Burkitt green with envy, and even an empty skip! Keep an eye open for the ridiculous switch pop the young buck has as he executes perfect switch heelflips over big gaps, and even a sick switch frontside bluntslide off a chest high ledge that looks rough as 80’s griptape.

In comparison to the Story Film makers Guild first epopee, this second instalment is much better. The editing is simple but stylish nonetheless, the music is groovy without disguising below average skating, and the skating is straight up wicked. Remember: Think Habitat in a beautiful untapped land of insane terrain. Plus it’s only a Fiver! Bargain!

A Film by James Gardner & Niall Kenny

Scene videos have been the building blocks for smaller companies and independent filmmakers for decades now!

The skating doesn’t always feed the addiction, but post production of these films have certainly come a long way, with a set standard that gets pushed every time.

The crew from Hereford raised the bar very high on this one with a production that not only portraits a great collective of skateboarding, but also a very well presented film with a lot of thought behind it. A scene video with a twist, and a good one at that!

It starts off by showing you in a roundabout way what life in Hereford is all about, a small town with a relaxed environment, dangerous fruit pickers and really good/fun skate spots!

The first person to tear up his name is Callum Kenny who nearly tears his bollocks apart by landing one foot on his skateboard and the other foot on the ground after ollie-ing a bar to manual attempt. This doesn’t stop him from conquering what he set out to achieve and adds to his part an array of manual skills…watch out MJ! His part is fluent and fades to black after a well executed nollie three flip down a hefty set of stairs.

Constant Gardner fades in after Callum and produces a very memorable video part indeed! Besides his technical lines, switch flippery and ledge killing, he also drops a few hammers in this one and shuts it down with a nollie back heel down a what I can only presume to be the Hereford big 5. A video part worth seeing for a fiver well spent!

“Next train to depart from this station is the ‘yadda yadda’ service to London Paddington”

This part is upholds the standard of the video in true form, it takes the crew from Hereford to London, INNIT BRUV! A montage of friends who reside and shred all over Ken’s grounds and rules. It features Joe Gavin, Stuart Bentley, Kris Viler, Ross, Mcgouran, Josh Roullion, Chris Oliver, Dom Henry, Mark Kendrick, Lewis Threadgold, Nick Galloway, Eugene Ocheing, Steff Morgan, Sean Witherup, Lucien Clarke, Sean Graham, Simon ‘the wizard’ Skip, Ben Cundall and loads of equally important others. It’s super rad to see all these people on film as they all kill it on a daily basis!

This finally brings us to Joe Williams, a very creative skateboarder with England tattooed on his forehead. Joe rules and takes a daring leap to find New England with tricks that could have consequences I’d rather not imagine. He also hits up a line with a hand flip to caveman on a bin/container type thing and proceeds to hand flip into a running nose wheelie…WHOA! Mad Skills!

You’ll be pleased with this feature and I’m sure of it that this wont be the last time you see any of the above on you your telly, pc or Ipod! To get your hands on a copy see:

When the media is bleached by American school yards, Barcelona and the new hot spots, it’s a pleasure to see some colour with a local backdrop. Paul Gonella and filmer Russ Cowling have produced a visual aid for anyone seeking inspiration as we enter the Autumn. Their little production is aptly named Into the fall and it highlights most of the Essex scene without a single perfect spot in sight.

The overall power of this DVD carries on the fact that the skaters featured have done good with all the odd terrain god has sprinkled in their path. Watching them handle their spots makes you look out your window and think, “That looks just like the kind of crap I have to skate everyday!” Obviously an imaginary gap has been bridged, and skating imperfect spots has become fun again (Was it ever not fun..?). Spots aside, you’ll also notice the two generations present in this project. On the one side you have the Old boys with their wall rides and simplistic stylings, whilst on the other hand there’s the young boys teching things up and lacing together sweet lines.

This age difference lifts the weight of that beer gut you inherently earn as an old boy, but also inspires the young ones to go and skate something different. Add to this mix a soothing soundtrack that doesn’t rinse the tracklistings of major productions or popular music and you’re quicker out your blocks to skate than Linford Christie in his heyday. Lame comparison, I know, but you get the point.

Without going into too much detail, the old boys have still got the moves with the odd switch frontside rock ‘n’ roll thrown in for good measure, or friend Jon Haywood popping a silky half cab blunt 360 back in on mini. The young boys are led by the suave style of Veran Tull and the quick foot skills of David Underwood*. These two are faces worth watching for the future. Nollie heelflip frontside crooks anyone? Plus, take note of the way the music fits several skater’s parts. This keeps the feature flowing.

*I have just been informed that Dave is actually in his 20’s. just don’t tell the groupies!

Featured skaters: Sandy, Steve Bailey, Paul Gonella, Russell Cowling, Adam Leeds, Sam Juner, David Dixon, Jay Tate, Ben Sutcliff, Neil Smith, David Underwood, Veran Tull and Friends.

For anyone that’s ever ridden a skateboard, there had to be that one moment in time that made them want to start thrashing about on a stump wood. More often than not, that moment occurs in front of the shitbox (TV). You see, before there were 5 DVDs dropping every fortnight, or Radical television programmes and Extreme skate tournaments, coverage of our beloved culture was pretty damn sparse.

If you woke up early on a Saturday, you might catch a glimpse of a skater being filmed with the proper dad-cam on some kids show, or maybe a news piece about urban youth culture slotted in before the weather report. Whenever that happened, you grabbed the first cassette tape available and clocked the footage a.s.a.p. Do not tape over Volume 1 is that crusty magnetic band.

Paul Gonella is a grizzly face of cyberspace who freelances as a skateboard historian. His love for the scene runs deeper than the pockets of Phil Knight, and deep within his treasure chest of memorabilia, he beholds some real gems.

This DVD is a celebration of all those snippets of television that lit the fire for many of us and stoked us out to get skateboarding. Obviously this feature does not contain top knotch multiple angle VX3000 shots of all the hot Californian amateurs killing it, but it does have priceless one-off footage of London’s first Vert ramp featuring Mark Gonzales (!), in depth interviews with Tony Hawk, Stacy Peralta and a walkthrough the then epic Powell Peralta headquarters.

The top draw prizes go to an old UK champion and legend Lucien Hendricks knocking ten footballs off stands atop a Vert ramp in front of Bruce Forsyth and his crowd for the gameshow You Bet!, and the bizarre freestyle dancing duo Primo Desiderio and his wife Diane on the Paul Daniels Show. Shocking! You won’t find any of this footage ever again, so a copy of Do not tape over Volume 1 is mandatory. Plus, it will only cost you £4 p+p which is an utter bargain for all the rare footy this DVD features.

Contact Monster Network here or find him lurking at www.monsternetwork.co.uk where you can pay pal cash as a swap for this fine DVD today.

If the Munster Family skated, you know they’d be sponsored by Creature Skateboards because even if these guys look hairy and scary at first, they are actually a bunch of jokers just getting high on death and even higher on their rides. Born Dead is a necrophilia promo DVD that features the entire team, including all new recruits, plus some friends because the more the merrier right?

Al Partenan opens the show and keeps all us skaters with beer bellies proud. Al kills transition. Don’t step. Sam Hitz skates nothing but pools of all shapes and sizes, and breaks land speed records with each carve. Josh Perkins is one of the new faces on the team and fills the slot of stuntman pretty well. A rail has to be over 15 feet long to fulfil Perkins needs.

My first encounter with John Ponts involved a false bribe of a ride to a party being refused if he didn’t leap a 10 foot long 6 feet high gap in less than three tries. Needless to say he did it in two! John is an all terrain vehicle who couldn’t care less about the well being of his body. Cody Boat and Alex Horn share a part full of high octane transition skating. Whilst the Boatman barges, Alex grabs the bull by horns and runs with it. Pun intended (Ha! Ha!).

OG Latino Vampire, Darren Navarette has one of the most awe-inspiring parts as he cruises nonchalantly up and over the face of danger to a heavy, heavy tune. The ladies love the vertical vampire. Drew Potter and David Gravette are the other two new faces of death on Creature, and honestly they rip. It’s either go strong or go home with these guy as they leap down chasms and rails regardless. Gravette gets last part, so you know what that means in video lingo- Good stuff!

The Creature team travelled all over the globe to get footy for this DVD, but instead of treating each journey like strictly business, they partied in several different time zones instead. Less serious than Zero, cleaner than Anti Hero, Creature are definitely worth watching if you’re a beers, bowls and barneys type of guy. To think this is only a promo is a joke, the full length should annihilate most when it drops…
