A week in skateboard news
The Queen may have handed us a short week but it was still packed with some amazing footage and a few surprises.
There’s some goodness amongst us but before we reach that, the important stuff has be raised. Have you signed the Bay Sixty 6 petition yet? If not, we would be really happy if you could take 2 mins out of your day to sign this and pass it on where ever you are viewing this from. England’s extremely expensive capital city only has one privately owned skatepark open. The owners have kept it afloat for over 15 years for the good of the scene so we need to make sure it stays, and for longer than the 2 years that have been granted. Please read this and do your bit to keep it afloat.
Video edit of the week comes from Hold Tight Henry with his coverage of the Emerica UK team skating Alicante. Tom Knox, Casper Brooker, Chris Ault and Kyron Davis get stuck into the Spanish terrain. Watch it below.
Surprise of the week came from Heroin Skateboards who welcomed Chet Childress to the expanding team. Newly signed pro Danny Shimizu played a part in the capture that sees Luda Crooks shredding Burnley’s finest. In related news, Chris Ault has left the Heroin team and is now riding flowed Anti Hero wood through Shiner.
Birdhouse’s leap of faith machine Aaron Homoki took the wow factor singel-handedly with this killer selection of monster footage. People are talking those Skater of the Year words online already, an accolade that Daewon Song is familair with. His new footage on the 5-Incher DVD from Almost is being rumoured to be his best yet. Luckily you can get a warm up from this Berrics Battle Commander section this week. Will he wearing DVS shoes in the future though? Only time will tell. Oh and if you missed Rodney Mullen’s speech this week, then it’s a must watch.
The best news of the week comes from Flip Skateboards, whose team riders will be heading to the UK in July for a Thursday night session at the XC Skatepark. Make sure you get this in your diary as it will be explosive.
Next week we will be taking a look into the Lakai, Chocolate and Girl camp from their recent get together in Yosemite Park, expect a tasty feature. Here’s the Top 5 outdoor activities Brandon Biebel accomplished before noon as a taster from the Tap:
1. 30 mile bike ride
2. Archery
3. Mountain climbing
4. Poolside
5. Smoked three blunts
Check the weather forecast before you go leave the house as this summer is looking to be ruined further by more low pressure, heavy rain and gusts of up to 70mph. Saturday is looking like the best day for a skate although the wind will be a pain in the arse. It wll also be seriously muddy at the Download festival so if you are there for a bit of Black Sabbath this weekend, pack a waterproof and a pocketful of JD and you shall win.
This fella has taken over this news section this week. Here’s another bunch of bangers from the one they call Jaws.

Emerica‘s UK team riders headed to Alicante on the Costa Blanca in Spain for some sessions and returned after a full week of skating with this new edit put together by Hold Tight Henry.
Press play for Edit of the Week featuring Tom Knox, Casper Brooker, Chris Ault and Kyron Davis.
The never ending skills of Daewon Song have graced The Berrics this week with a new Battle Commander section that you will probably need to watch twice.
In related news, the Almost 5-Incher video has been released on i-tunes this week with Daewon’s section blowing minds as usual and DVS are going through changes that may unfortunately see Mr Song move on to another shoe company. Speaking on the bankruptcy issue that has forced DVS to find a new backer this month, Daewon told ESPN:
“DVS Shoes is doing everything possible to get it back up and moving. I’ve been with them (DVS) for 15 years and started Matix Clothing with them as well. I always try to support my sponsors to the fullest, thick and thin. If things don’t work out then I’m gonna have to find a new home for shoes but I always stay positive and hope for the best.”
This is not going to make for happy viewing but the lesson here is that if you are filming or skating near to a road, always have someone on look out for you so this doesn’t happen to you or your friends.
