With all the hype surrounding the Lakai video, it was about time that Epicly Later’d got down to the nitty gritty matter of their regrets in skateboarding.
Koston, Carroll, and Howard all chat about fashion disasters and stinking tricks, but Biebel comes up with the best response ever.
Jake Brown, who survived the gnarliest slam ever when he dropped 45ft to flat off the X-Games Mega Ramp in the summer, has been chatting to MSNBC about his injuries only days after competing in the Dubai X-Games.
He also plans to go back and confront the beast of a ramp as soon as he can. Check the full video interview at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/22216720
If this place doesn’t turn up on MTV Cribs soon, I’d be surprised. The Plan B site takes you on a photo tour of their mansion, which includes pinball machines, edit suite, jacuzzi and signed Kerry King guitar.
Thing is, when your skate team is that good, where does “the magic happen”?
I know we covered this already but if you missed it last week and want a burst of energy then look no further than the Independent Lincoln City Tour edit and get fucking stoked…

Fidelity Skateboard’s Tommy Brandelik gets a double-whammy of a Moves this week, with this gnarly boots drop-in off the top of Wurzel Gummidge’s roof. He told Tommy to get off his land, so Tommy obliged.
Crossfire buddy Johners managed to head up to the place on maps ‘where dragons be’, otherwise known as Manchester and popped along to Zombie Stu’s latest exhibition Never Been.
Check the Cornish one’s blog for pics of the show and also his own drawings and life.
If you thought you had it hard not being able to afford a new deck, then spare a thought for skateboarders in Cuba.
Phil Brown’s latest documentary shows the difficulties faced by Cuban skateboarders, as there are no skateshops and trade blocks means mail ordering decks and hardware is banned. This means skaters are dependent on boards being brought in by friends from other countries, or fixing and repairing broken boards anyway they can.
The Cuban Skateboard Crisis is available to watch below, but please head over to www.skatecuba.co.uk to see if you can help in anyway and show your support.
Check the new video trailer from the guys at Satori Wheels, featuring Doug Shoemaker, David Abair, Robin Baker, Zack Gonzales and Ron Allen.
