Antiz have decided to get in the van and rock through Northern France for 3 weeks. The tour starts from 7th-27th April with Julian Furones, Hugo Liard, Sam Partaix, Gabriel Engelke, Julian Bachelier traveling alongside Loic Benoit and Paul Labadie who will be capturing the action.
Brand new Antiz decks will hit the UK’s skater owned shops this week, so check them out below. Click here for their latest edit as it also features UK rider Aaron Sweeney.
Transworld have a new video feature up this morning with a day out on the shred with Matt Miller and Ron Deily.
Zorlac, Nowik, Churchill, Rodriguez, Jotham, Harrison and the Bear all feature in this latest edit cut from Tolworth’s new bowl in Surrey.
Zoo York give nothing away in this latest trailer for their forthcoming video State of Mind. This went online last night so get it whilst it’s fresh.
Since The Harmony started they have been releasing a video nearly every year. This latest promo DVD River’s Edge, is only packed with 13 minutes of skating promo but is a great insight into a company that is dedicated to UK skateboarding and growing at a good pace.
The video kicks off with a brief intro of the riders who star in this video, and then it goes straight into the swing of things with Jak Pietryga busting out his technical finesse over some grimey London spots and some nice looking Greece footage. Jamie Bolland has a very short but good section filled with wallies and no complies and Danny Jack comes through with other impressive section, hitting spots from Manchester to Cardiff, with his smooth style.
Tony Da Silva building up on his introduction section in Wolfstad, goes all out to prove he’s one of Manchester best skaters, with a lot of fast lines and does amazing nose bonk 360 out on a block that was obviously rewound. Next up is a new addition to the team, Tyrone O’Hanrahan, who bangs out a short but sweet section, filled with some nice gaps, slides and manuals. You should look out for him in a soon to be featured Fresh Blood here on the site. Ali Drummond gets in on the action fresh from his recent addition to the Etnies flow team and yet another Harmony rider who you will be hearing more of in the future. His section is sick, and very much showcases how much of good all round skater he is and again the future of the team.
Last part is handed to Joe Gavin. He’s been on the team since the beginning, it’s no wonder why he has last part, his seamless flowing lines and technical ability all come into play to make a very interesting section to a DVD that you should definitely watch.
The video may be short but it’s one of those films you want to see before a skate. It damn well packs a punch and also comes with some good extras including the Big Push and Greece edits also on this disc. Get it today in all skater owned shops. Visit theoldnewshit.blogspot.com for more.

Woke up this morning and these beauties are sat at the end of my bed. Usually a cup of tea is needed to get me amped for any day ahead but the glow of the soft yellow wheels had the same caffiene affect. Within a flash I jumped out of bed, knocked over a full bucket bong, stained the carpet with the dirty water and made my way to the wardrobe. Out sprang a jump suit, and my favourite flower pot hat. I’m ready…I’m ready for anything.
The harsh concrete floor of my street felt as smooth as icing sugar as my shoulders lead the charge. Pump by pump, the wheels of this beast rolls over driveways, the trucks cushion the pressure from my thighs and the smell of petrol from the garage forecourt fills my nasal system and forces a sneer. I whistle ‘Whip It‘ as I four wheel slide underneath a stationary truck delivering crates of food to a local shop and then push as fast as I can, hair streamlined in the wind as the hill in front of my engulfs every last push. Splat. I’m taken out by a passing car. I didn’t see it coming and now my flowerpot is broken and soil spills onto the open road.
I awake in a sweat to find that 2 Globe/Devo cruisers were still at the end of my bed. If you think i’m skating these ever you are some kind of fool.
Go to www.globe.tv for more Devo/Globe madness and look out for these in your local SOS this month. Go on, treat yourself or dream on.

Here we have a classic example of less is more. This shirt has no special features, just a nice plain and simple check pattern in a classic cut that will fit any averagely built man.
Element really have been making an effort to keep their clothing ranges solid and diverse and this shirt shows the simple side of their vision. The shirt is lightweight and very pleasing to the eye, they’ve not tried to come up with this year’s new purple, they simply made a shirt for everyday use.
Another good one to have in you’re summer cupboard, it’s good for rocking and rolling, both boxes ticked!
