If you have not visited Prague yet on a skate trip then you should consider it’s attractions as it’s a fantastic city with a great selection of spots. James Holman and Alex Pasquini met up with Vans riders Marc Churchill and Kevin McKeon at the 2008 Mystic Cup indoor bowl for a session but until now the footage has sat lonely on tape. This bowl was seriously good fun when we last passed through there, enjoy this edit and look into it.

Emerica – Leo Romero 2
Emerica has never failed to impress me in the past; I have always supported their movement and even though I probably will do for years to come, my honest opinion on these shoes are that they lack the ‘Stay Gold’ touch.
On paper they def look the part, but when I first laced them up, I was a bit skeptical and soon found myself wishing Emerica had sent me a pair of Leo’ 1’s instead. I have to admit, I was a big fan of the predecessor model, it had all the characteristics I normally look for in a shoe, thin suede, good construction, stylish and not too stiff. Leo’s 2nd model is almost the complete opposite to this, the shoe fits like boxes on your feet, has a dull shape and is very stiff. I did manage to skate them for a good few weeks and even though they come with all the standard trimmings you’d expect from Emerica (usual cupsole with STI Foam footbed, System G2 heel cushioning and overall thin construction for board feel), the shoe itself just never really got me excited.
I am quite particular about my skate shoes, maybe it’s just me, but I personally won’t get these again. I’m sure they will appeal to so many other skateboarders though, some will probably say they are the best shoes they’ve ever owned, however, I’d much rather roll with Leo’s previous model, a much better shoe in my books.
Shoot em up with ‘A Day in the Life’ of Leo below, fun times…

Best of Daewon Song video edit
I sat up watching Skate More last night until the early hours and had to watch Daewon Song‘s section twice. Here’s a little reminder of who the boss is out there just in case you have forgotten. This latest illegal cut together is 10 minutes long and celebrates the monstrous, piss-take skateboarding skills of the man himself so get yourself a cup of tea and get comfy as this is simply mind blowing as you would expect.
Don’t forget that the Blueprint team will be at The House skatepark in Sheffield today (Wed 14th April) from 2pm for a premiere of their latest flick and a session from the team. Here’s a winter edit by Sam Palmer featuring locals from The House over those freezing cold months that have just finally passed. Footage of Shaun Currie, Timmy Garbett, Joe Marks and many more can be found right here.
