Hockey’s new promo features gnarly new footage from Andrew Allen whose throw-on nosegrinds rip. Another newcomer Ben Kadow gets some minutes with more from Donovon Piscopo and John Fitzgerald.
Volcom’s impressive new full length skate video, Holy Stokes has a 24 hr window of online presence so get the teas on from 2pm UK time and take in the full flick from here.
Polar’s new range of clothing are about to hit your local skate shop this weekend. From jackets and hoodies to tees, pants and sweat shirts and accessories, head to their store for the full monty.
Summer, to me, is all about etnies shoes, the Jameson Eco range in particular. We’ve covered them annually on this mag as they are a staple must for the warmer spells for a damn good reason, they just work.
This year’s Jameson Eco 2 has a Matt Berger signature on it and has been slightly rebuffed. Made, as ever, from both recycled plastic and recycled rubber, this version is a little bigger than the last and more built for a skate than a chill. Saying that, I’ve not been on a deck for 3 months due to injury so I can’t explain how they roll on a rig, but what I can tell you is that once laced up, straight out of the box, these are ready to serve.
The faux-vulc cup sole is supported by ye olde STI Foam Lite 1 insole giving you ample support and they certainly feel like they will save you more than the thinner versions when your heels hit the concrete. I wore these in a wet field for an entire weekend, camping and skating and they didn’t get wet inside once. Perfect for those who want to skate in British weather conditions.
The cherry on the cake though is that when you buy these shoes, etnies will plant a tree in Africa, giving this earth the support it needs to survive, just like when you support skater owned companies and keep the scene alive helping the right people behind it.
Seek them out in your local skate shop and search for the many colourways that are on offer. If you prefer a super slim version of these then look out for the new Jameson SL that looks peachy.
Polar are pushing into the weekend in style by posting their latest full length video DVD, “I Like It Here Inside My Mind, Don’t Wake Me This Time”.
Hit the DVD below for the sweets – you will probably want to own it once seen. It has sick footage of Aaron Herrington, Kevin Rodridgues, Hjalte Halberg, Pontus Alv and Am’s Oskar Rozenberg Hallberg, Michał Juraś, David Stenstrom, Dane Brady, Paul Grund and Jacob Ovgren.
If you are looking for the definition of total commitment in skateboarding then look no further than Peter Hewitt‘s latest part for Spitfire. He absolutely smashes every wall in front of him. Total masterclass of gnar.
You have to admire Cory Foster‘s vision, looks like he will give anything a go and then chuck something fun in. Get the teas on for this raw footage from his Inequality part and enjoy the biggest dumpster ollie ride we’ve ever seen. Magic.
Watch the full Floridian flick:
There’s nothing like short notice but apparently there’s a fundraising jam this Saturday at Meanwhile Gardens bowl.
The park is certainly in need of a full upgrade and various talks have been ongoing but nobody has seen any long term plans of renovating the park to our knowledge. We also have no information of what the funds will be used for, but at least you know about this now a few days in advance.
It’s a special spot that should have been looked after by the land owners annually. Reminisce some of the sessions we used to have down there when all of us locals chipped in ourselves to keep it skateable.
