Looks like the most blissful place to skate in the planet, right in the middle of a field full of weed plants. They must have been caned because this edit sucks.

Real Mixtape decks
Ramondetta, Wair and Davis are repping their new Mixtape series decks this month on Real. look out for them at your local SOS.
Some clever sod has photoshop skills and has transformed the infamous Glen.E.Friedman front porch shot of Minor Threat at the Dischord House with the heads of Ozzy and co from Black Sabbath. Cheeky, surreal and a must have. Ours arrived within just over a week shipped from the US.
Grab yours before they are gone from here.
The weekend of 5th and 6th of September will be calling folk down to the coastal towns of Brighton and Hastings for two days of skateboarding goodness. Beachy Shred is a new weekend event with street and bowl jams at the Level in Brighton on Saturday and The Boyley in Hastings on Sunday.
Expect £2k worth of best trick prizes over the weekend, freebies, an after party in Brighton on Saturday night and a whole load of top people getting together for a schralp. Spread the good word and get this in your dairy.
Passport ripper Nik Stipanovic is the latest from down under and in the spotlight of Thrasher with this new Treat Yourself edit. Raw spots reminiscent of the UK and a drive to ride. Can’t argue with it.
Want more? Head here.

Now here’s a treat coming from the archived tapes of Jake Barker from yesteryear featuring our good pal Laurie Sherman. If you knew this man then you’d know that he gives everything and is one of the best pals to have in the back of the car on a trip. His laid back approach to life is slightly different to when he steps on a rig as you will see from this footage shot between 1996 and 2002.
Still got it too. Good work Jake.
You should know by now that Jonny Giger is a tech head but his latest homework has finally come to fruition. Get to know the unpossible – aka the front foot impossible that has sprung up ina few places this year already.

10 Dope Tricks Done Sideways
A few weeks ago we were admiring Amandus Mortensen‘s backslide powercracker down a set of stairs on repeat. The result led to thoughts of others who can huck out steez sideways, all those fellow burners of urethane and the ones who are always thinking a little more creatively than the rest.
It’s not a “Best” tricks list, or indeed some lame attempt to turn over advertising, just my personal favourites from those that make me want to go out and skate.
If you think we’ve missed some classics, leave a link to a gif or footage in the comments atthe foot of the page. Big shout out to all the filmers who shot the footage, hosted on our Tumblr page daily.
1 – Harley Miller – Milk Skateboards in Lisbon
Milk Skateboards have been rising throughout the UK scene for the past few years now but back in 2014 they flew to Lisbon, Portugal and came home with this banging edit. Harley Miller took a classic on this mosaic bank, bonking over the top and powersliding his way down through to fakie. Sick trick.
2- Richie Jackson – TWS “And Now”
Richie has handfuls of tricks to choose from, although this one is what sparked my initial hook on skateboarding so I may be slightly biased. Seeing Richie perform this as part of a three piece line in the first skate flick I owned – Death Skateboards’ Escape from Boredom, and then again in this TWS video makes it even more rad that the erratic Aussie chose to go back and fry my brain on two separate occasions. If there were a Banana slide hall of fame, this would be first on the wall.
3 – Madars Apse – Future Nature
Element released Future Nature back in 2013 containing Madars Apse’s sick part which blew us all away. This gap to backside powerslide coming initially after a fs smith flip out in his opening line was a keeper. His level of unpredictability accompanied by absolute precision is held throughout the whole piece.
4 – Rémy Taveira – Antiz Skateboards: Out of the Blue
When Antiz announced the completion of their newest full length, Out of the Blue, everybody was buzzed. This beautiful moment from the quickfire feet of Rémy Taveira sure lived up to the name. His steezy backside powerslide moves gracefully across a drained, but still glistening pool into a bs tailside. Out of the Blue indeed.
5 – Hadrien Haverland – Cosy Ride Skate Shop
Hadrien rips up the Parisian pavement throughout this part with many tricks you certainly don’t see every day. The internet allows us to view countless video parts but the wait to find someone pop out of a powerslide into a lip trick has evaded me…until now.
6 – Hisasi Nakamura – (Instagram)
Hitting the manny pad at full charge Hisasi Nakamura loses no speed jamming his wheels into a powerslide momentarily before popping into a nose manual, as seen on our morning instagram feed.
7 – Patrick Melcher – Death Skateboards: Better Than Life
Melcher is typically known for his unorthodox approach to skateboarding, making everything look incredibly fun whilst maintaining a level of difficulty that makes you ponder your own game. This time, lurking the car parks at night, he’s spotted slipping across the tar, jamming up the poles into a sweet banana slide. Whether a spot like this is pure coincidence or a little bit of ingenuity we do not know.
Louie consistently pulls through with some of the most entertaining video parts known to man and this is only part of the reason why. He shows you exactly how these hideous pieces of street architecture should be used – with all four wheels, that’s how. Total ruler of the quirky trick bag.
9 – Albert Nyberg – The Sour Solution
The Sour Solution video is heavy hitting and comes with an entire catalog of NBD’s that will blow your brain apart. Albert Nyberg is one of those who you simply have no clue what he’s going to do next; whether he’s hoisting himself over a handrail or skating something as simple as this. This flick had so many tricks to choose from but the fast feet and sheer fluidity of this whole move is to be commended. Everything is done smoothly although it looks like it took no thought at all.
10 – Phil Zwijsen – Hydroplane
This list would be incomplete without the inclusion of Phil Zwijsen who skates anything in sight whatever the weather. Taking full advantage of the slip and eat your teeth conditions, this clip quickly took the internet by storm. If you haven’t seen this before then just take a look and let this one speak for itself.

So here it is, the Lexus Hoverboard being schralped by our local ripper Ross McGouran. A good choice too knowing he skates all terrain so press play and check out the results.
Are there smoke and going down in this Spanish skatepark? Find out below in the making of the video and look out for an interview with Ross on here very soon.
This is how it works:
Security bods with nothing better to do than to spend time programming a way into taking over the control of skateboards are set to present their work in a technology nerd-off in a Las Vegas shindig this weekend.
All twonks that ride bluetooth-enabled electric skateboards are now under attack from hackers who have found an exploit in the way the bluetooth is saturated with radio frequency noise. In some of the lab tests they carried out, they were able to seize control of a board from jamming the signal from up to 30 meters away, stopping it dead, slamming it into reverse or speeding it up. Genious.
Let’s hope they make an app for it. Upending bellends who chose to ride these things because they were too stupid to learn how to pop an ollie sounds like the most fun ever.
