Lowcard Magazine have unveiled their ‘Worst Skater of the Year’ to be none other than everyone’s favourite beer-swilling flatbank destroyer Fred Gall.
To congratulate him on having such a shit year they’ve made this edit compiling footage from all over the shop. We loved him in Origin and Cliché have said he’s the best Gypsy guest rider they’ve ever had, it’s not hard to see why.
Ladies and gentlemen, the magnificent Fred Gall…
For anyone hoping that Daft Punk were so stoked on composing the score to Tron: Legacy that they have – in a rare display of throwaway productivity – started scoring web edits for Nike SB then don’t be too disappointed. This edit actually does exactly what it says: takes you on a global skate trip with a small handful of the mammoth Nike team and little snippets of stop animation goodness.
Kicking of 2011 in a big way, this montage features Stefan Janoski, Clark Hassler, Daniel Shimizu, Grant Taylor, Wieger Van Wageningen, Lewis Marnell, Youness Amrani, Chet Childress and more.
Watch it below.
Quiksilver have teamed up with skateboarding’s East Coast video auteur, Bill Strobeck for this little edit starring Danny Garcia, Austyn Gillete, Reese Forbes and Alex Olson.
In classic Strobeck style, the clip captures the mundane and the extraordinary and blends them together into something at once arresting and astonishing. Austyn Gillete is just TOO legit.
Have a look and enjoy below.
The good folk at Blueprint, Quiet Corners and Bored who recently collaborated together for the brilliant Print Here photo competition are having an exhibition at the Wallspace Gallery in Southsea featuring the best entries to the competition.
Have a look at the flyer below and be sure to check it out if you can.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of undoubtedly one of the most culturally significant skate videos ever produced, Skateboarder Mag have recently reunited the Video Days crew for a photo shoot in the February/March 2011 issue.
The first behind-the-scenes style video is up for your viewing pleasure now. It comes complete with the awkward conversation inherent in school reunions and a strange sense of real-world surrealism when you consider that organising this shoot could easily have cost a lot more than Spike Jonze’s entire budget for Video Days. Weird, but very wonderful all the same.
Have a look below for Mark Gonzales, Guy Mariano, Jason Lee, Rudy Johnson and Jason Richter all under one familiar looking roof.

As with what seems to be expected with skate company edits in January, Etnies have raided their hard drives and tapes and compiled a montage of some of their favourite stuff from the year just gone.
But as it’s Etnies, they’ve gone a little extra to bringing us the very best of what a 12 month round up can be and have posted a nice blog post complete with photos and memories of the year taken and written by Sam McGuire.
Click this link to have a read of his favourite moments working with the Etnies team and watch the awesome montage below. The clip features skating from Davis Torgerson, Jose Rojo, Willow, Sean Malto, Kyle Leeper, Tyler Bledsoe and Mikey Taylor.

In the not-so-distant era of last summer, éS Footwear welcomed Kevin Terpening onto the team to the tune of this amazing video. Now, having ripped it on the To Europe With Love Tour and held it down in the months since the summer he’s now been welcomed aboard the stellar Alien Workshop roster. Great stuff Kevin!

Exactly 365 days ago we posted a review of the last DVD of the decade to grace the front cover of Sidewalk Magazine, Bristol’s Finest. One year later, it’s withstood the tests of time and digital amnesia to remain one of the raddest scene videos to come from these shores, spawning a bucket load of further edits, influencing filmmakers and skateboarders everywhere and firmly re-establishing Bristol as one of the tightest scenes in the UK.
Read the review here and treat yourself to half an hour of South West shredding from the finest crew in all of Bristol by watching the entire video below.
