Revolution Skatepark in Kent have started to teach girls how to skateboard over the next few weeks starting Friday 22nd Feb. It’s a shame this didn’t happen when Powley was hanging out there as he would have definitely improved his tech skills!
The park also has a host of new stuff to skate so get down there for a day out.
Visit www.revolutionskatepark.co.uk for all info.
Bob Burnquist shares some words on the brand new Fury Trucks website about his video part for ‘Extremely Sorry‘, the next Flip Skateboards video that should blow minds with the team they have thesedays.
The site also reveals the EVO 2 Fury Truck that apparently is engineered to a higher level than any other truck in history. Check www.furytruckcompany.com for more.
I like cords, in fact, I spent most of my skateboarding past time in cords due to they’re easy feel and well, stylish appeal. I enjoy being comfortable when I cruise, I don’t like looking like a gangsta with tracksuit bottoms that slides down my arsehole and covers majority of my shoes! Jeans I like, but I prefer sleeping in boxer shorts opposed to PJ bottoms if you know what I mean, total freedom, which makes cords my preferred Johnson cover when skating.
Vans have a great line of apparel these days and like other well established skate companies, they keep pushing the envelope for better products and have a mammoth following based on they’re eagerness to please the consumer.
These cords a slightly on the slim side, but not leg huggers, so your balls are safe! They’re not flared or baggy, just a nice, relaxed, yet slim looking pant. They feature your standard 5 pocket design, a tonal distressed checkerboard print on your ass and is made with a bit of stretch (98% cotton 2 % stretch) for those ‘daniel son‘ flips we all strive for. I’ve spent a lot of time on my knees and ass for that matter and have to say they’re not torn yet, so I’m only to assume that the quality is as high as they come.
They’re not expensive either, so make sure you’re geared up for this summer, cords are cooler than jeans, trust me, I wrote that one!

Girl Skateboards have a nice recruitment video for new employees and anyone wishing to get an insight into what happens behind those doors.
The Girl Distribution Orientation Video (GDOV) shows you round their Torrance-based office and let’s you know that these guys do actually do some work when not skating. Biebel works filling vending machine, and Koston is the binman.
The Berrics is getting serious updates now and should definitely be a site you check on a regular basis, not just for the shedloads of video content, but also because you can see exactly how good Andrew Reynolds is.
His ‘warm-up’ clip will shock you, wait for how many tries it took…
Some more Zoo York news as Hypebeast have reported that adult filmstar Jenna Jameson has teamed up with the board and clothing company for a very limited edition deck series.
The Karma Sutra inspired advert created by davidandgoliath is out now, so keep your eyes peeled at www.zooyork.com for where to get your hands on these puppies. The decks, not hers.
No real news, but a lot of metal getting scraped off by Creature’s David Gravette as we’re shown his top 50 50-50’s, the bonus feature from skate video “Nufevah” featuring David Gravette, Thomas Clark, Michael Patterson, Nich Kunz, and Taylor Clark.
Better get practicing if you want to have them as on-lock as Grav.
