This new AJ Zavalla part is a beast. Looks like this bloke will have a go at anything at speed and has a big bag of tricks to match. Push play for treats.

Zero’s Tom Karangelov certainly brings the Thunder in this new Out of Sync edit that was filmed and edited by Matt Bublitz. The track is ‘Negative Space’ by METZ if you were curious.
You may have seen this before but Colin Clarke just re-ignited the reason to watch this battle between Chris Pfanner and a 19 stair backside 180 at Denmark’s annual summer skate romp in 2010. Burning the witch for real.
You can buy that print here.

Now here’s a new subject for debate. A new ‘motion tracker’ for skateboards has been developed to track the way your tricks are made so you can analyse your movement for ultimate perfection.
How does this work? Essentially, you attach a Syrmo sensor to your deck in the form of a super-slim riser pad, and the data from each movement is captured and fed to you by a phone app. You get pin-point movement stats so you can see your angles and pop force, you can also record and manage synchronized videos and see 3D Replays of your efforts as soon as they go down too.
To us, it sounds absolutely ridiculous, as the beauty of skateboarding is formed from freedom and fun, not perfection or competition. But saying that, there will be others out there who may think perfection is everything and this is just a bit of fun to analyse who can pull the most perfect tricks.
Question is, is this like the ultimate ‘skate selfie’ for the robotic Street League contest skater? Or will this technology actually enable you to learn those difficult tricks you always struggle with and point out exactly why you can’t land them? Does this world need any more stats than it already has?!
This project is now at the alpha-testing phase with several working prototypes.
Skate Pharmacy have started to announce their new team since the arrival of their skate shop in Margate, Kent and a banging online store dedicated to all of your skate related needs. This Charlie Munro edit should have your attention this week, filmed within a 3 mile radius of the shop over a bank holiday weekend. An impressive welcome that is the start of good things to come.
