This concept Hoverboard thing is doing the rounds again following this plea for funding, this time with Tony Hawk talking the talk alongside balding bore-fest Moby, and a bunch of other people we have never heard of. It’s as bad as Santa Cruz’s Star Wars launch video this week for sure.
Obviously between them they have created the best bit of bullshit this side of Jim Bowen’s Lancashire caravan plot. Can’t wait for ‘Back to the Future’ – the musical.

Remind yourself of the original:
Former Girl pro Alex Olson has finally revealed his new skateboard company today. It’s called ‘Bianca Chandon‘. Talking to TWS this morning on the launch and the name specifically he says:
“The full name. Basically I came up with the whole concept of it because I couldn’t get the rights to any of the names I wanted originally. So then I was kind of digging around through inspirations I liked and try to figure it out. I think I had mentioned to Brian (Anderson) before 3D was thought up that it would be really cool to name a company after a boat. And so many boats are women’s names. So that sort of started the whole concept of choosing a woman’s name. Then from Studio 54 I think I got Bianca from Bianca Jagger. I just always really liked the name Bianca. It sounded kind of elegant and it was a big ‘70s name. A lot of the culture I was pulling from was from the ‘70s so it just made sense.”
Let us know what you think.
Turn the clock back by 13 years for this one as a bunch of young, British delinquents head to Barca for a trip filmed by RAD, a TV show that was shown on Saturday morning’s on TV.
For most young people reading this, TV stands for Television and was a staple part of the information highway of yesteryear that documented various people’s lives captured on tapes.
On this occasion, Sidewalk editor Ben Powell takes his chops along for the ride thanks to Vans alongside Harry Bastard, Ben Leyden, Stu Graham, a bloke dressed as a school girl in pigtails many more. TV Gold.
