Now and then good things happen to people who really deserve it. This is a perfect example of how some people who are lucky enough to help others really make the difference. This note from Franklin Skateshop in the US made our day.

Pre-orders for the Lost in Transition video are on sale from today following the release of a second trailer today. This new documentary looks into the untold backyard ramp scene in the Southern states of America throughout the years of 1984-1991 and looks likely to be a winner.
This could make for a perfect Xmas present if you order one for someone you know who would appreciate it, but note that they will be shipped early next year. Watch the first trailer here.
Dave Caddo officially joins Politic in this new clip and skates East Coast spots with Danny Renaud, Steve Durante, Jason Spivey, Curtis Rapp and guest Kevrick Evans. This is one of those edits you just do not want to end.
2013 really has been special for the mainstream discussing skateboarding. Buzzfeed’s latest ‘list‘ today is the golden ’21 Signs You Had A Skater Phase‘ and definitely one of the worst. Do people actually get paid to write this shit?

Sirus f Gahan’s latest edit features bad-boy Ewen Bower skating in Vox Shoes. It’s a very nice welcome edit, show your appreciation.
Stroud has a spanking new indoor skatepark called Rush that is getting some great chit chat right now. The Fifty Fifty team headed down there for a lock in and came back with Louis Gane’s footage of Phil Parker, Ollie Lock, Josh Arnott, Tom Gibbs, Barber, Pat Garrahy and more.

There’s no skater of the year title for Riley Hawk just yet but you cannot ignore the amount of amazing footage he managed to get down on tape this year. His huge bag of tricks did the talking in 2013 for sure. Tony Hawk, Andrew Reynolds and the Baker team tell him the good news in this clip that ran over the weekend. Baker has a new pro and Terry Kennedy even has rhymes for him.
Heroin’s Video Nasty DVD had something special from all over the globe this year but the bonkers skateboarding skills of Japanese aficionado Gou Miyagi had tongues wagging all over the web. This part is a marmite number for some and for others a trip outside the norm. Enjoy something different today.
This Subspecies section is worth watching too.
Joe Gavin‘s section from the Snake Eyes Die DVD is online alongside a whole host of others today. Get some of Manchester’s finest right here via Note.
