For those who didn’t make it to this year’s sold out Halloween Massacre or for those who just simply could not get in on the night, you missed this carnage from the mini ramp session. Big thanks to Ryan Gray at Sidewalk for this beauty. Look out for another party edit from Alan Christensen this week and a full gallery of amazing photos.

Mike Vallely kicks off the latest webisode about the beginning of Element Skateboards. This series covers the change from Underworld Element to the Element you know today and is worthy of 25 mins of your day. Footage includes Bill Pepper, Kris Markovich, Jeremy Wray and more.

If you can speak Brazilian you are in for a treat, if not sit back and enjoy Bob and his Brothers in Brazil riding the Megaramp. Oh and look out for Jake Brown attemptiing to rap, priceless.
