What’s all this then, it seems Consolidated Skateboards have designed a shoe aptly titled the ‘Drunk‘ featuring a stylish banana logo…..

New decks for Karma, Bailey, Roberto Aleman, and Jub are all featured in the new Consolidated catalogue that you can view here.

If you’re skating through Lyon (France) on the 10th September, make sure you drop by the Skatepark in Gerland for Wall Street Skateshop’s first “Street” contest.

No major prize money. No extreme camera men. No frills – Just chill. The party starts at 11am and there are prizes to be won for everyone.

Check out the Wall Street website for more info and updated footage of their team riders

It’s time to dust off the that old copy of Streets On Fire and grab your old slick stick because Santa Cruz are about to release V-Day: a video by their Veteran’s Division.

The video is a sort of documentary about the skating of Jason Jessee, Eric Dressen, Tom Knox and Keith Meek. There are also cameos of some of today’s major skate stars explaining how much of an influence the Santa Cruz Veterans were.

Watch the trailer here .

Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark in London has fresh wood installed into it’s street section with more coming over the next few weeks.

The park will now extend to the fence all the way along the road side of the park and will be built in stages.

This new melee of banks and ledges is just the start of the rebuild and should be ready to skate by 7th September once the coping is added.

Please note that the park will stay open as usual whilst these additions are being made – updates available at www.baysixty6.com

Can anything stop the skateboard workhorse that is the Zero team??? Jaime Thomas led his team to a third consecutive win of Thrasher’s King of the Road. Clocking in almost a thousand points more than their competition (Darkstar, Baker and Toy Machine respectively), this year’s tricks and challenges were wilder than ever.

Death Skateboards recently added Patrick Melcher to their team and should have a pro deck out in the next 3 weeks.

Fuck yes! The man- John Cardiel – is back on board. John dropped in for the first time since a vehicle ran him over and crushed his spine (!) during a Vans tour. Now if that doesn’t inspire you…

Heathen Skateboards are about to release some new threads this month, yes check out those shark jaws, as if you don’t want one!

In Heathen team news Paul Rimmer is kicking London right in the London eye with his Aussie homeboy Timmy Burdett. Timmy is a pure bred beast, I’m sure you’ll all be seeing a lot of him in the next few months.

Colin is busy skating street spots and killing them, even though he doesn’t skate street as you can see in the photo…and Big Mark Burrows has mashed up his knee (again), meaning his shredding activities are on the downlow for a wee while.

Loads more at www.heathenskateboards.com including more pics from the Oban Ramp Jam.
