Fancy some free tickets to our Xmas Jam party on Saturday night? Course you do, so get yourself over to the competitions page and bag up 5 pairs of tickets to the messiest party in town!

Yeah, Michael Jackson won it, apparently.

If you hadn’t heard already, Lakai and Enjoi techster Marc Johnson has won the prestigious Skater of the Year Award from Thrasher, announced on their site this weekend.

Congrats Marc, and when you see his Fully Flared section you’ll see why he deserves it.

Some complete pillock keeps trying to destroy the Steppe Side bowl in Malmo, despite Pontus Alv’s attempts to keep this place a legit skatespot for all.

For the second time, Pontus and the boys have turned up to see the bowls half destroyed. No doubt if they find out who did it, they’ll half destroy their face.

If you haven’t seen this yet, then you’re missing out.

It’s a Friday and no-one will be working today so if you’ve got a little time to spare then watch Sylvain Robineau’s cinematic skate tour through Paris featuring Soy Panday.

PARISien has a long and short version depending on how long your attention span is.

Death Skateboards have confirmed riders for the Crossfire Xmas Jam.

Look out for Steak, Horsey, Nick Zorlac, Rob Smith, Andy Scott, Dan Cates, Mark Nicolson, Lee Dainton, Lee Blackwell, Dave Allen, Carl Wilson, Boots, Moggins, Adam Moss and Benson ripping up Bay Sixty 6.

Well, sort of. This Heath Robinson style contraption appeared on Engadget.com with this description recently:

“We know what you’re pondering this fine Thursday morning: how can I most effectively put my body in danger while sustaining full dorkiness? All those “action sports” like flipping motorcycles and skiing through avalanches are just way too glamorous. Well, your answer has arrived in the GroundSurf board from Ratleads. The three-wheeled board has an electric motor, and a unique control scheme that allows you to speed and slow the board using touch controls on an HTC phone over Bluetooth. What could possibly go wrong? The board will be out “soon” for somewhere in the neighborhood of two grand.”

I wouldn’t try answering your phone whilst riding it though, and imagine how bad the shinners would be from it.
