The Lords of the Swords teams have congregated this morning for a solid weekend of filming and tasks across Essex. Once the edits are ready we will bring you the video votes as usual. Lock up your daughters.

A new UK skateboard company called Blast Skates has launched from London this week. Matthew Bromley here shows you how the first 8.75″ Sidewalk Psycho decks are made and shredded. Visit www.blastskates.com for more.

Very strange to see why anyone would leave Flip Skateboards considering the support they give their riders but it seems as though all was not well with Greyson Fletcher who has been announced on the Element team this morning. Surprise move for sure.

The Bombaklats crew took a week out to skate Amsterdam and came back with a fresh edit.

A few Familia faces sessioned Berlin’s street spots for this latest edit. Footage of Shaun Witherup, Flex O’ Connor, Steph Morgan, Gary McNaughton in this, filmed by Andy Morgan.

Jackass skater Bam Margera woke up this morning in a Glasgow police station after being arrested last night at the Jury’s Inn hotel in Jamaica Street. Bam was with Eminem’s entourage and performed as a guest on Yelawolf’s set who was supporting Eminem’s headline show. He was charged for being a loud knob after trying to check in and finding his room was not booked, so he apparently threw a kiddie tantrum and then sinked some whisky before he got the bumhole and the fuzz were called.

“I had the pleasure of visiting Glasgow jail for 48 hours after performing with Yelawolf at an Eminem show. After that, I try to check into my hotel room. but they think i’m a street bum checking into a 4 Star Hotel and called the police. I got arrested for being loud in public. Halleluah!”

He was fined £500 at Glasgow Sheriff Court this morning. Good one.

Paul Parker is one of the UK’s very best illustrators in the UK and you will find him carving the transitions of Victoria Park regularly. This week he has a new Stone Age tee out on Volcom and a short video insight into how it was made, plus a shred at the local hole. If you crave more, scroll down for our Day in the Life video featue with him a while back, incredible works.

If you are old enough to remember this video hitting screens back in 2002 there’s a good chance you would have not forgotten this beastly ollie attempt by Ali Boulala filmed by French Fred for Flip’s epic ‘Sorry’ video.

This new footage features never-before-seen clips of Ali attempting the leap of faith, tackling 50 stairs in one day, and said last week on his FB page that: “This is by far the gnarliest thing I have ever filmed. He did on 2 separate occasions, including on a drizzling day, which makes it even crazier. Maybe it’s possible, maybe Ali could have done it with the right conditions.”

Who do you think would be able to make this 25 stair ollie today? Watch this archived gem and then discuss.

Lakai’s upcomers Sebo Walker and Jon Sciano feature in this recent park edit that dropped online overnight.
