Congratulations to Ross McGouran who has joined the European Element team. Ross started out skating in Harrow and spent a lot of time in our local park here in West London before moving out to set up a new life in Barcelona.

His latest section in the new Vans Europe video was one of the strongest of the bunch so look out for that on your travels and also enjoy some offcuts here from a recent trip to Portugal where the team were filming for Get Busy Living, the new Element Europe video that is scheduled to drop on Go Skateboarding Day, June 21st.

The South By South West music festival in Austin, Texas is always one of the most blogged events in the calendar with surprises left right and centre from bands playing secret shows to forming new ones on the streets. Thrasher covered the Cons mini ramp jam at this year’s event with footage of Angel Ramirez, Kenny Anderson to name a couple and even Brighton ripper Luke McKirdy get’s in on the action whilst Voivod supply some legendary shit for the Deathmatch.

The 3rd UK Independent Vert Series is about to kick off around the UK in 3 weeks time and knowing it has spawned fresh blood in the likes of Paul-Luc Ronchetti and Sam Beckett who have done onto acheive greatness around the globe in various comps it should be well worthy of your time.

Check the flyer for all of the revised dates for this year.
