Autobahn have unleashed their first Pit Stop edit, checking in with Sebo Walker.
Keep your eyes on the Autobahn Wheel Co.’s Youtube as they continue to check in with the rest of their team. But look below for Sebo’s input; a nice short clip of some skate sessions. There’s some truly bonkers skating in there…
Dainton got involved in the Lovenskate Vs Witchcraft tour last week and recorded a Stooges ‘ten tricks or so’ with Lovenskate rider Craig Scott.
It’s shiny and new and doesn’t require anyone suffering from a bank holiday comedown to count to ten so this edit is perfect viewing right now. Get stuck in below.
You can now watch Geoff Rowley’s high-voltage Extremely Sorry Trailer as another edit is slowly drip fed to us through the Flip website for that extreme hit of gnar.
As expected, it’s insane. Click the screen grab below to see it.
Lakai are persisting the Lakai Or Die attitude by shredding night and day on tour. As the crew are currently heading out for the Voltage tour the edit of the Getting Nordical Tour has been posted online to keep that hype flowing through your veins. It’s a nice long one too so kick back while the summer continues to linger a little while longer and enjoy it.
Smooth operator Kelley Dawson has been recruited into the Heathen Minion Division and will be repping their gear while hardflipping down countless slabs of concrete.
Check out his welcome video below but be warned: the following video contains a potentially offensive amount of nonchalance.
Countless skaters turned up to Emerica’s Stay Gold premiere last night with faces as dark as the clouds that opened up over all of the UK. After huddling as close to the cinema as possible the efforts were rewarding by the stair-jumping, rail-chomping skating approach of the Emerica team being taken to completely new levels.
Though still miserable and wet outside afterwards the faces were a little more golden and the murmurs were replaced by a consistent echoing of ‘Reynolds, Reynolds, Reynolds, Reynolds, Reynolds, Reynolds…’
Make sure you pick this one up when you can to see why The Boss is called The Boss…
Wearing a helmet has, in my ten-years of stubbornly skating nothing but multi-storey carpark curbs and this thing, rarely been appropriate. It’s almost certainly been necessary as I suck and fall over a lot but the only time I’ve accepted that my head is to look that much more like the end of one of Ed Bowen’s fingers is when it’s been enforced. Suffice to say, that massive hunk of plastic has always saved my bacon if I ever kid myself into thinking that skating the bowl at Rom is a good idea.
Here’s the dilemma, skating bowls IS a good idea because it’s the raddest, purest form of search and destroy skateboarding that everyone should man up and have a butchers at doing at least once, but it’s impossible to protect ya neck without, you know, looking like a bellend. And none of us here are Grant Taylor, whose head I hear is reportedly made of reinforced concrete; we need as much black plastic on our heads if we don’t want to end up like my good friend chimpy who couldn’t skate a curb last weekend as he was waking up in hospital after taking a slam to the noggin.
There is some good news from super helmet makers Bell, who since day one regularly succeeded in stopping people from dying and managed to make a few look like Daft Punk while flying through the air towards that hard, loving concrete. They’ve summoned Jim Phillips’ Sun God to put on this helmet, who you may (and should) recognise from Jason Jesse’s infamous deck run way back when helmets were so necessary they were kind of cool. They’ve certainly developed a sort of nostalgic coolness recently through the assistance of rad-tinted blogs like Chrome Ball and Vert Is Dead, much in the same way that baggy chinos and flannel shirts will always look awesome when listening to 36 Chambers.
So scope out a bowl, put on some shorts, pull your socks right up and go and try something new. But there aint a damn thing changed boy, protect ya head!
