This video gem featuring a very young, then Airwalk shoe sponsored Geoff Rowley in 1995 is just one of the many videos shot for 411 Video Magazine.
At the time, 411VM was our main source for keeping in touch with skate footage worldwide alongside full-length VHS releases, and were available at the best skate shops monthly. It’s strange to think that the internet even back then didn’t cater for video like it does now as broadband/high speed connections was not available like it is now.
The good news is that Skateboarder Magazine in the US have started rolling out all of the 411VM back catalogue bringing you stacks of skate history from various profiles, team features, event clips, individual sections and much more. Keep an eye on it as it rolls out but for now, watch Rowley’s Rookies section that we stumbled across last night.
The Vida Collective from London have released a teaser ahead of a short film dropping in October. The ender is a shocker, and unfortunately not a switch bigspin down El Toro but footage of a stripper on board one of their team riders. So, if you are viewing this from your desk, school or somewhere else where you are likely to look like a div viewing it, then just don’t watch it. 
This weekend’s Shop Riot at Hemel Hempstead’s XC skatepark welcomed teams from shops all over the country for a session. The Black Sheep team took the honours with riders repping from Fifty Fifty, The Ledge, Switch, Halfpipe, Lost Art and many more. 
The MegaRamp visited Rio in Brazil recently and some incredible tricks went down. See Bob Burnquist on this image here? Try not to shudder when you see the footage.
Nise team rider Martin ‘socks’ Maguire has a full part aided by the seafaring swagger of the Dropkick Murphy’s this week. Socks and the ‘Ox’ should session together as it would make nailbiting viewing.
Kill City aficionado’s Jake Collins, Sox and Sam Pulley and many more feature in the new Pixels video shot down in Tredegar Park in Newport from this weekend’s opening event. Watch the view of what went down through Alan Glass’ lens here.
The new skatepark in Newport looks absolutely amazing. Here’s some wild footage from the opening session at Tredagar Park. Await the Kill City edit for quality this week.
