Dylan Goldberger – ollie up bs lip
Max Hull’s hard drive needed a clear out so take in a bunch of footage featuring Max Palmer, Cyrus Bennett, Kohlton Ervin, Andrew Wilson, Jason Byoun, Conor Prunty, JT Gleason, Dylan Goldberger, Chris Sarte, Matt Connor, Yoshi Ebata, John Gardner and many more shredding around NY.
Footage of a session filmed this weekend at the Prahran Skatepark in homage to the much missed Lewis Marnell has surfaced from Melbourne, Australia.
Lewis spoke to us in an interview back in 2008. He was one of the most polite and naturally talented skateboarders that has been through our set up and sorely missed. Rest in peace bro.
Crazy to think this tour happened seven years back now. Antihero and Girl joined forces for a roadtrip and came back with all sorts of visual treats. The 20 minute tour video hit the web this week. Get the teas on for Beauty and the Beast 1.
Sheffield locals Owen Jones and Connor Roman have decided to hit the road this May after becoming frustrated in their hometown and fed up with the daily grind.
In an attempt to meet more skaters across Europe and generally have a blast, the duo will hit the open road to Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and The Netherlands with nothing but one bag each, a deck, some cameras and a tent in their own search of Animal Chin.*
“We both felt like we’ve been stuck in the UK with absolutely no way of making our dreams come true and no way of staying in the skate scene without conforming to the 9 to 5 lifestyle, which, for me, is not what life is about”, says Connor. “We have a basic route planned. As expected we will be filming our journey from start to finish. The strange thing is, we have no idea about what the video will actually be about or focus on. All we know is the things captured on film could change our lives and set us up for the skate crew/company we want to start when we arrive home. If anybody in England or across Europe wants to get involved and help us out with maybe the most basic of essentials, we would be beyond grateful.”
We are backing it because this pair are giving it a go and getting the hell out of dodge as opposed to sitting there waiting for something to happen. You can donate some wonga to assist their mission, or even donate basic supplies. Not knowing what’s round the next corner is what life is all about.
Whether they make it out of their first destination (Amsterdam) or not, you should back it. Follow their journey on their FB page and we will bring you footage from their trip when their dream comes to fruition.
* If you have no idea what this means, get the teas on tonight.
Congrats to Cyril Jackson who rightly moved up to the pro ranks at Baker this weekend. If you’ve not seen this rough cut of his Bake & Destroy section, now’s your moment. Big bag o’ tricks!

A little girl from Birmingham, born with an extremely rare condition called Spinal Segmental Dysgenesis, has found skateboarding as an outlet for fun and mobility. Rosie Davies‘ spine was not attached to her pelvis at birth leaving her legs crossed and without feeling. Unfortunately her legs had to be amputated and one of the bones was used to fuse her body together to bridge the 2cm gap in her spine.
“When it comes to skateboarding I have no fear,” says the seven year old. Her skateboard allows her to move around which has also provided her with much upper body strength that is key for her future mobility.
This is yet another story of where skateboarding offers children with an extraordinary amount of freedom. We wish Rosie and her family the very best.
Choose Skateboarding.
UK ripper Sam Beckett popped up on Thrasher’s feed this morning shredding their Double Rock park to a sombre soundtrack. Cameos from Forstner and Collins.
He’s known for his malarkey on more than skateboards worldwide but trickster Death pro Richie Jackson has turned up in Moon Duo’s new promo video for their new single ‘Animal’ this week. Pitchforks, car parts, keyboards and serving trays are shredded as standard.
Read our interview with him alongside his last video part here.
