Death Skateboards Ben Schroeder guest deck

Post author By Zac
Post date March 6, 2013

benschroeder_deathskateboards Death Skateboards have released a one-off guest board this week for skate legend Ben Schroeder. Ben was involved in a head on collision with a car back in August 2011. He was hillbombing at 40mph and a car hit him at mach 10 and then ran over him. The car stopped with the tyre on top of his left leg resulting in his shin bone (tibia) being broken in two.

Speaking to Nick Zorlac last night he said: “I thought it would be a good time to do a Ben Schroeder guest board on Death. One because he one of skateboarding’s all time greats, and two because he needs some help right now. These decks just landed, are a limited edition and have turned out great. Graphic by Jason Davey.”

The Philadelphia Experiment

Post author By Zac
Post date March 6, 2013

Chris Mulhern returns with another incredible video production today, this time looking back to the good old days of Philadelphia with The Philadelphia Experiment.

This visual treat with Caste was inspired by nostalgia from the deep history of skateboarding in Philly and a military program from 1943. Mulhern’s vision is simply sent back in time to feature vintage and recent HD and VX footage of Mark Suciu, Ricky Geiger, Ishod Wair, Jordan Trahan, Devon Connell, Fred Gall, Matt Reason, Ricky Oyola and many more to create a journey that is not to be missed.

Watch this brilliant 11 minute edit that has hands down taken Skate Edit of the Week.
