DVS have added another amazing rider to their roster, the super-am Nick Garcia.
Hailing from skateboarding’s ever prolific breeding ground California, Nick stands out from the rest with stylish, fast and unique skating. Did you catch his welcome video for Element? You should have. Here’s hoping we see more from him this year…
The time has come for French Fred to make another full-length skate video, please. These short clips he’s putting out for Cliché lately are simply too good.
Here we see Fred Montagne capture Andrew Brophy’s soul in the most stunning manner. Brophy is always worth a watch and there’s some great stuff here – including some footage of a shot in Steve Gourlay’s Gallery – but combined with those colours, I’m tripping out on this stuff…
Get a little Birdhouse in your soul. Following their world tour the Birdhouse crew have hit up the Block Skatepark in Zurich this week. Jaws is apparently on a constant mission to complete skateboarding, right now he’s coming pretty close…
Everyone’s favourite skate-thrashers Short Sharp Shock have unveiled a line of skateboard decks in adoloscent, mansize and ssshovel sizes. You can have a peep at the decks below.
The band will also be touring Europe, stopping in the UK at their hometown Liverpool at Mello Mello on July 30th and a date at Newport’s Le Pub in Wales on August 14th so UK heads fix up and look short sharp.

Make A Difference are holding a jam at the Buszy in Milton Keynes this month on July 30th.
South heads know that jams at the bus station are always a treat and if for some ridiculous reason you’ve yet to skate the plaza why not use this as an excuse to head down. They’ll be a variety of comps and prizes up for grabs, along with live DJs and MCs. See the flyer below for more info.
Christian ‘Pirate Man’ Hart has been slaving away the past few months for Cardiff Skateboard Club’s first ‘proper proper’ video ‘Join Us‘.
The video follows the groundbreaking (in the vandalism sense) path of the infamous lo-fi masterpiece ‘First Blood‘ and will be certainly filled with bangers from the CSC massive and other Cardiff locals.
So Welsh heads, make sure you have no other plans for Friday July 30th as Dempsey’s Bar is the place to be for the premiere – featuring appearances from a REAL pirate! See you there!

The clip is below. METAL.
Etnies continue their Tale of Two Cities this week with Willow taking Joe Gavin on a little trip around some of Berlin’s tourist spots teaching us about the suicidal tendencies of those that skate the Kulturforum and how to get by in the only city in the world with weather as pissy as the UK.
