Matt Berger Flip pro part
Ph: Jay Delaney
You should know by now that Matt Berger is on some mad perfectionist shit, backed up by this pro clip that dropped today, there’s no denying it. Amazing part.
Drawing Boards have rolled out new decks fresh for the summer month’s ahead. Their new Saying’s Series kill 2 birds with one stone, burns the candle at both ends and makes a mountain out of a molehill perfectly.
These are available in all sizes 7.75″, 8″, 8.125″, 8.375″, 8.252, 8.52 plus cruiser and Pool bomber shapes. Doodle and destroy here.

This news will be music to your ears. The local skaters of Kettering have been under the siege from their local council who have started a war against skateboarding as they wish to criminilise it under a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
Obviously this hasn’t gone down to well with the local skate shop Chopper Skate who have been fighting it with a petition that could do with your support.
The battle has now picked up support from Green Party Parliamentary Candidate Rob Reeves, who has made an appeal for the town to rally against the order to stop a ban on skateboarding ahead of the upcoming election and has joined Chopper in the battle.
“Many of the items on the PSPO proposal should never have even been considered, but now that they are included, we need as many people as possible to engage with the proposal and fill in the forms with their suggestions,” says Reeves. “If they don’t, then this could lead to a blanket ban on skateboarding in the town. The phrase used in the proposal is banning the “misuse of skateboards”. How one ‘misuses’ a skateboard is beyond me and is obviously open to the interpretation of the council and police. Furthermore, is this the way we deal with the fact that people find themselves having to beg? By banning them from the town centre? this does not deal with the root cause at all.”
Chopper’s Mark Healy has written an open letter to Kettering council formerly requesting that they “halt this motion and start a proper process of consultation and data gathering. We request a review of your plans and extension of public consultation period as a matter of urgency, and the scrapping of the proposed PSPO while we work together to find a way to share our town without criminalising our population.”
You can have a say in this matter by heading here to sign the petition. Good luck to all involved.
Okay, this part is utterly incredible.
Jimmy Larsen seeks “spots” that others would not even consider to skate, and kills himself to get clips. If you love a good mosher drop, hippy jump or some more en vogue no comply variations, then watch this now.
Takes Skate Edit of the Week like a don.
There’s no doubt about it The Workshop has been busy. This latest breath of life shows us that Alien’s art direction will never change although the company itself morphing massively and riders be equally as rad.
Indulge yourself in his mind trip as a new rider is introduced – Frankie Spears.
John Cattle has organised an online auction to help fund the concreting of Ventnor Skatepark on the Isle of Wight to save it from the elements. Maybe you can help their scene raise a few quid as they need £50,000 over the next 12 months to make it happen and need your support.
Their Big Art Auction includes work from artists Ged Wells, Greg Conroy, Harvey Mills, Tom Moore and Jon Horner to name a few and no doubt there will be more on offer as time goes on.

By all accounts the Vans Propeller video “went off” at the LA premiere last night, confirmed by numerous accounts on social media. Opening with Ray Barbee’s band live on stage, the film is said to have kicked off with a dope legends section that then opened up with individual parts and some joint sections of all of their main team riders, ending on a mind blower. Hyped to see new Rowley footage in this most of all. He’s said to have a killer part shot in ditches and on banks.
The skate shoe company, with more history than anyone else out there, is said to have rolled out an incredible production put together by Greg Hunt, impressing everyone in the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. Here’s a few quotes we picked up on from insta and twitter:
Guy Mariano – “It was inspiring. Every part was sick and so diverse in style and skating, loved it”.
Steve Caballero – “you are all in for a treat, the video came out amazing, entertaining, and just got stronger and stronger until the very last part thanks to Greg Hunt. Vans has a masterpiece and incredible video on its hands, something to be proud of for a first video”.
Flip Skateboards – “Vans Propeller is going to blow minds”.
Thrasher – “Legendary”.
Josh Friedberg – “It’s going to be tough to top this. It’s one for the ages, thanks to Greg Hunt’s striking cinematic achievement. AVE is a beast. Kwalks for president!”
Chris Nieratko – “Hunt killed it. Such and amazing video”.
Finally, Vans have dropped a skateboard video after 49 years, now go see it for yourself premiering on April 30th at Prince Charles Cinema in London and look out for it on iTunes on May 5th.
