sml. Wheels celebrate Morgan Smith‘s new pro wheels with a minute of footage. These new designs are tasty, have a butchers at Tom Knox’s.
Olan Prenatt, Jordan Norwood, and Nico Hiraga hit up a flight to London and got some footage at the Bay, Undercroft and other spots in the capital. Kyle Walker, Blake Johnson, Kevin Bradley, and Chris Coulbourn spent time in NYC and Hawaii too.
Mikey Alfred’s lens captured both trips for his Illegal Civilisation crew.
Let’s kick this off by stating that the future pretty much delivered jack shit. If you were a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s where space colonisation, extra-terrestrials, UFO sightings and Metal Mickey were predicted to become part of family life, then you will know how much we were ripped off. The most exciting recent discovery that comes close to all of those technological promises is an image that looked like a lunar three-spurt dick etched into the dusty floor of Pluto. Twas one way of getting a few more ‘likes’ on your Facebook page last month for those who count the digits.
There wasn’t a need for this self aggrandising malarkey that social networking brings back in 1985. Nobody really gave a toss about getting themselves 15 minutes of fame, we were too busy sniffing glue, break dancing and prizing Mercedes badges off the front of cars with screwdrivers – until the Back To The Future film was released. That summer spawned thousands of skateboarders worldwide, mimicking Michael J. Fox’s balancing skills as he held his own on a hoverboard to impress girls and avoid a beating. Once that was aired, every kid in our area wanted one.
Nobody imagined that we would have to wait 30 years to even get a sniff of the liquid nitrogen smoke that pumps out of the Lexus Hoverboard though. Nobody would also have guessed it would be our mate Ross McGouran who would be the chosen one to take it for its first cruise either. Thankfully Ross was skating past our office the day after that hoverboard edit hit the interweb so we asked him to spill some beans on how it all came together.
This was filmed off the cuff in 10 minutes with just an iPhone with a broken screen to hand but should give you a bit of inside info on the shoot that took place. Thanks to Dan Joyce who kindly edited my awful filming.
Short but sweet, watch East Coast cruiser Joey Pepper skate in Expedition One’s Gone Fishin’ flick.
You’ve probably seen the full Illegal Civilization 2 flick already illegally, but TWS posted a legal part from Na-Kel Smith up over the weekend for your viewing pleasure.

Bergfest 2015 – Confusion edit
Ph: Jamie Mateu flying for J.Hay’s lens
Bowls, beers, bro’s and skateboarding. All the good shit from this year’s Bergfest in Münster, Germany edited by the Confusion crew. Looked like a blast.
The iPhone of Joseph Biais has been capturing various street missions of late now wrapped up in a new phone edit featuring Sylvain Tognelli, Rémy Taveira, Vincent Coupeau, Bertrand Trichet and many more.
Rewind back into 1990 when the ollie impossible made an appearance and confused the hell out of everyone amongst a bunch of other really new tricks. Ed Templeton was a fan and stepped up on this part in New Deal’s ‘Useless Wooden Toys’, a video that changed the game somewhat looking back on it.
