Around The House with the interesting Johnny Layton

Post author By Zac
Post date April 8, 2011

Toy Machine’s Johnny Layton gets the home documentary treatment this week and shows off his Dad’s red mustang, his Dad’s coffee pot, a collection of decks, some pugs, a basketball hoop and proves he is also artistically inept by wasting $2000 on a really crap painting.

This video is like one of those ‘day in the life’ edits but he doesn’t actually leave the house or an MTV Cribs but without anything interesting going on. No doubt there will be a queue of girls waiting outside every time he leaves the house, all probably after …his Dad.

What do you do when your City has just been rumbled by an earthquake other than help others around you to get back to normal first? You skate the transitions that have been left from the natural disaster itself of course.

Watch this footage of local skaters in Christchurch, New Zealand who are putting the street cracks to good use out there.

Spring sunshine has given us hope this week and it’s looking likely that we will see it through until May right now so say certain reports this week.

If these claims are true then there’s a good chance that most UK skaters will hit the road and shoot the shit so here’s an edit stuffed with stupidity from a bunch of US friends who have fun skateboarding.

Start planning your summer.
