Get hyped on the two volume book that’s coming from the archives of R.A.D Magazine that will soon be unleashed and filled with British, European and World skateboarding history from the original photographers and writers of the mag.
The treasure trove of material that has been dug up over many years will be a must have, so if you want to own a historical piece of skateboarding history, then order a copy and pledge to fund the print asap on Kickstarter. From this link you will find exactly what has gone into this wonderful project!
Back it and make it happen today!
As ever, the Sidewalk crew traveled to Livingstone for the annual madness that the Scots are world famous for. Enjoy this, it looked like a sick day out and more importantly, in memory of #RideForRoxanne.

The latest Palace video sees a good part of the crew shredding what looks like Hawaiian soil, with not a tennis match in sight.
The Pizza Skateboards crew went on a Paris mission and came back with a full delivery.
The Bristol crew know how to have a laff and especially on Go Skate Day. Enjoy this Fifty Fifty edit from the day in question at the races with added man ramp madness!
As soon as the summer kicks in I’m craving one thing in particular – another fresh pair of the best recycled shoes you can pick up via etnies, and they never disappoint.
The Jameson Eco 2 is an annual must have. Not only do they give you what you need – a pair of summer kicks that without socks, just cruise through the warmer months and keep your feet happy, but also the fact that etnies are STILL planting trees in various forests around the world, and for every pair sold, another tree goes in the ground. They have managed to plant over a million trees to date in the forests of Costa Rica and Brazil in an attempt to create more oxygen, reduce more co2, mitigate climate change, grow food and feed people. Their mission has now turned to Africa where they continue to plant and create, just like their skateboarding.
As ever, recycled shoes take a little longer to break in than usual. Only a couple of days though so don’t be put off. The faux vulc cupsole stands up as good as it’s unnatural namesake, as does its recycled rubber outsole. Definitely one for the vegetarians out there but notably for everyone.
These are straight up chillers, and I would personally recommend skating in one of etnies’ other amazing lines of skate shoes and keep these for the downtimes. You literally cannot go wrong with a pair on your feet. Go check out the many colourways here.

Good news for Tom Day this week, and well deserved too. He is Heroin Skateboards’ new pro rider with a new rig available in your local very soon, explained here by Fos.
“The Good Shit Drips is a throwback to boards we did for Pulman and Howard in 2004, and the “Sanest days are mad” is a nod to Pulman’s LFA part from 2005 mixed with his dads hoarding tendencies. 8.25 and 8.5 respectively.”
Enjoy his footage from Jim Craven’s rad edit, Land.
