Watch: Lovenskate’s Super Jumbo

In 2007 Lovenskate went to Boliva and made a documentary called Super Jumbo. Now, as an early treat for 2011 you can watch the whole thing in full via Babelgum.

The video covers Lovenskate’s journey into the Bolivian skate scene as they traverse the mountains of La Paz and the jungles of Santa Cruz . It’s half an hour (advance warning to you multi-tab Firefox generation users out there) but absolutely worth a watch for anyone wanting a little insight into the kind of skate scene hitherto undocumented by western eyes. Complete with interviews and footage from countless locals this is proper top notch stuff. Nice one Stu!

Get your full screen on below.

Watch: Tanner Vs Hold Tight Henry

Two of the hardest working skaters in the UK, Henry Edwards-Wood and John Tanner, have spent a big chunk of the latter half of 2010 filming for this edit set in grand ol’ London Town.

As you would expect, it’s top drawer stuff on all accounts; sublime filming from the finest lens wielder in the big smoke and a smooth assault on every single piece of concrete the capital throws at the Cliché rider. Watch and enjoy the good stuff below.

Watch: NPNG Xmas video edit

I was waiting for a Christmas edit from either the NPNG crew or the Get Lesta crew and it seems as though NPNG are quicker out of the blocks this year.

No point in me rambling on about what’s in it as by now you should know these chaps from the Bournemouth area love the fun of life and that you are gonna get a few tricks and bundles of the latter. Actually this is also a good time for me to apologise to Lovenskate’s Ewen Bower whose name was missed out as a credit in the Xmas Jam video as Alan didn’t do his homework and forgot to ask me, so apologies mate and Merry Xmas to Bummer and all who wreck Kings Park daily!
