Cory Kennedy tests the Crailboard

Cruisers are the shit. If you don’t have one then you’re missing out on something fundamental to skateboarding and the general notion of getting rad. Thankfully the good folk at Crailtap have released a new version of the Crailboard for both connoisseurs and noobs alike to get their shred on. You can see the deck in all its glory in the new Wallride Catalogue. Inside is an exciting page that simply reads ‘New Girl and Chocolate Video Coming Soon”. Now, we all know how ambiguous Crailtap are with dates but we’re stoked to be reminded of it none the less.

Cory Kennedy gave the stick a test-spin and you can see below in a rad little edit what’s capable on that badboy. Whether or not you’re as abnormally talented as Mr. Kennedy, this new deck looks like heaps of fun. On top of that, is that some sunshine we can see in this edit? One can only dream the UK will start bucking its current cloudy and miserable trend and get all happy and sunny again.

New Brandon Westgate Shoe + Part!

Coast to coast, Brandon Westgate has been killing it for Emerica and generally making skaters across the world more hyped on raw, fast street skateboarding than they have in some time and as a result has earned his first pro shoe ‘The Westgate‘.

To celebrate the release of the shoe, Emerica have released a part filled with previously unseen footage that somehow manages to rival his stonking part in Stay Gold. Have a look below, shit your bed a little bit and feel the need for an instant shred. Who else pushes downhill? Answers on a postcard addressed to NO ONE, THAT’S WHO.

Who is The Harmony’s new rider?

Last week The Harmony Skateboards teased their facebook followers with news of a new rider joining the team very soon, but who is it? We can tell you who it isn’t…..it’s not Sean Goff, Curtis McCann or Simon Evans. It’s also not Ben Raemers, Danny Brady or even that bald git Nic Powley.

What we can tell you though is that he has been interviewed on this very website and has attended CF events in the past so have a think of who it could be. Maybe he is from the US and a special guest, a European ripper or maybe he’s from the UK.

Click through to the Crossfire facebook page, like the page and post who you think it could be in the comments under this post. The winner who guesses correctly once The Harmony announce their new addition will be sent some free shit in the post.

New Daewon Song Part – Available Now!

As some of you frequent Berrics lurkers have probably heard, a brand new full street part from Daewon Song was scheduled to drop online today (1.11.11 – New Year’s Dae) on The Berrics for a very modest 99 cents. That’s about the price of a Mars bar or something similarly redundant when compared to a full part from Daewon Song.

As I’m sure some of you will also agree, Daewon Song is, pretty unquestionably one of, if not the most gifted, unique and exciting skateboarder on the planet. This part is yet another jaw-dropper. Only Daewon can change the game with a smile on his face the entire time. A true inspiration… click this link and get your download on, this guy should be on a good monthly wage to simply exist.
