Remember the Second Nature docu back in 2012, a short film looking into Janne Saario’s thoughts and dreams, which float between design, art and skateboarding? Yves Marchon posted up extras shot from the Fiskars project that looked like so much fun.
Read our interview with Yves here.

Joey Sinko got to work on Geoff Rowley‘s Raw Files overnight to bring you a new mix of said part with a Warren Zevon soundtrack. Looks like he nailed it.
There’s a rail slam in here to flat that should wake you up, a blunt slide that is sick and so much more. Elijah Berle’s Raw Files made up 5 mins of rad skating. Bloke put it down for Propeller.
Mike O’Shea’s art is the subject of this week’s skate feature. Big butts, dad dancing and Lightbox animation.
Amandus Mortensen stole Skate Edit of the Week with an incredible 2 minutes of street wizardry for Ashbury.
Palace and Bronze teamed up for 21 mins of hardwear snorting.
Andrew Allen’s Raw Files was steeped in power.
Matt Berger’s Flip pro part was one of the best this year so these raw clips of the making of it only made it ten times better. Big talent.
Trick of the Week was a tough call knowing that the 2UP comp at the Berrics provided so much tech steez. Sebo, O’Neill, Haslam and Jackson all bossed it.
Amandus Mortensen’s powercracker though was the most shared on our tumblr page this week and this is why. Nothing like seeing a firecracker sideways for a change. POWERCRACKER moves. You got this?!
The making of a dream home became reality at The Cinder Cone. Incredible vision.
Alex Cocey has the best work out routine of all time…
The Scots bossed it alongside Mogwai for their collab to raise money for a local skatepark. Well done to Focus and Ritchie Zander, grab a lmited edition deck here before they are long gone.
Get another dose of history. Jeff Grosso goes in hard on Mullen and the freestyle fraternity that run most of the skate industry. Gold.
This week’s full video hype comes from Headcleaner. Get those teas on for Matt Creasy, Chris Thiessen and others.
The latest Palace collab with Bronze hardware is go with a 21 minute London / New York street edit packed with plenty of filling.
There’s so many talking points in this new Loveletters episode that it’s a joke. Jeff Grosso goes in hard on Powell, Mullen and the freestyle fraternity who ended up running the skate industry. Street skating is opened up, Gonz, Natas and more get spotlighted. Must watch!
If you are fan of wallies, pole jams, no comply’s, firecrackers done sideways – in powerslide form, then Amandus Mortensen just released a banging new edit for Ashbury that will make you want to skate.
This will most likely be the best 2 minutes of skateboarding you will come to appreciate this week.
Have some more.
We all have dreams. Some of them are realised, others just move on after we wake and drift into the ether. Dreams can be achieved though if you really want them. You just have to make them work, by hook or by crook, and that’s where Foster Huntington achieved the ultimate pleasure by pushing his until they became a reality.
He put a crew of friends together, each bringing their individual skills to the table including carpenters and skateboarders and then over the space of a year, something incredible happened. The ultimate dream treehouse, hot tub and skate bowl with a view of the Gods was completed.
You may have seen this image before but check out how The Cinder Cone was built in Skamania County, Washington in the Columbia River Gorge in this amazing new documentary. Huntington is now starting a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a book on the project. It’s part photos and part DIY manual, and something to keep forever.
Keep those dreams of yours alive. They are all out there, we just have to work hard to find a way of making them happen, and fast.
Andrew Allen is an absolute destroyer of all terrain laid before him, so much power with a flair that packs a punch. We certainly approve.
London illustrator Greg Conroy is hosting a new exhibition at Parlour skateshop opening tomorrow night (4th June) at their shop from 7.30pm at 59 Hackney Rd, London E2 7NX.
If you managed to miss his interview on cartoons, skateboarding and Serious Adult then get on this.
