Volcom are the latest brand to enter the footwear market this week and have launched a series of what look to be skate and lifestyle models for men and women with Puma’s help for you to have a gander at. There’s no doubt that if they are on par with the quality of their clothing range then these should be fantastic. The proof is in the pudding though so look out for them on your travels once they are in the public domain and in the meantime check out this preview.
Harry Lintell got a session in at BaySixty6 this month.
Matt Ransom has some raw unseen footage online today courtesy of Al Hodgson’s hard drive clean out. This was shot for the ‘South’ video by Max King a couple years ago that never materialised, so enjoy it whilst it escapes to web.
Willis Kimbel, Effertz, Al Partanen, and Zach Miller get stuck into the beast that is Bucky Lasek’s backyard hole in the ground.
Ben Hatchell defies all odds with no pads when a bit of Slayer hits the soundsystem. Watch this clip for ridiculous efforts to detroy Malmo’s vert ramp in this year’s Vert Attack Six comp.
Phil Evans has sent us another creative video edit to share with you today featuring Brian Corscaden, Fogo, Rob Moss, David Stenstrom, Al Collins, Martin O Grady, Daniel Stankovic and Phil Zwijsen. His mixture of Lomokino, Super 8 and digital cameras have been put to the test here with great results forming Light is Light.
The track is originally by Lungfish, one of Dischord’s most unique bands, but this version of ‘Love is Love’ has been recorded by Tortoise & Bonnie “Prince” Billie. A remarkable cover of a classically timeless track. Great stuff.

There’s an art to making skateboarding look easy and Krooked’s Brad Cromer has whatever it is in his pocket. Enjoy this LoFi video part (his own video) and appreciate that pop.
Element team riders Nyjah Huston, Nick Garcia, Mark Appleyard and Levi Brown all feature alongside locals in a new video edit from a visit to Japan. Watch a demo and some street stuff here.
Jason Park‘s section in Ground Control has been released. Although the edit and music was hard to swallow, he can certainly skate and may remind you of a mini-me of a certain pro out there…
