Jeff Lenoce was the guinea pig for some HD 720 testing. Enjoy this point & shoot edit from Lakai with no generator and lights, just natural light capabilities. The results are pretty stellar.

Grant Taylor has gone pro for Alien Workshop this week following awesome parts in both Mindfield and Debacle that you can watch here. Look out for his pro model in skater ownded shops soon.
Grant Taylor just simply isn’t afraid of anything. He zooms around a drained waterpark at frightening speeds with gnarly backtail slides which are insane and then sessions some obstacles that just shouldn’t be ridden. Sliding the top of a door frontside is just plain wrong, heart in your mouth wrong but once again it’s AWS. – Crossfire Mindfield review.

Jon Allie on Gold Wheels
Gold Wheels have released the addition of the Black Gold collection, a series of wheels and shirts that now has Jon Allie on board for the ride. More riders will be announced in the coming months, so keep checking www.thekayocorp.com for the additions.
Supermodels and skateboarding should go hand in hand I guess but it’s gone one step further this month. Erin Wasson has just joined other models including Isabeli Fontana, Lara Stone, Toni Garrn, and Edita Vilkeviciute to get her herself inked onto a deck. Wasson is said to have a mini ramp in her garden too, so if there’s one supermodel that should be on your shopping list it’s probably going to be her this xmas!
Check out her ‘pro model’ that is released in mid-August (below, far left), but only 150 will be made. Fans of Isabeli Fontana will be gutted as her deck model has already sold out but there’s a few Toni, Lara, and Edita boards left. They cost £54 and shipping from here if you can be arsed.
This could well be a contender for footage of the week. Check out this Anon edit of Patrick Melcher, Don Ngyen, Josh Spencer, Clint Peterson, Gareth Stehr, Brian Hansen and many more on this hairy road trip. Jackson and Haslam will be bummed they couldn’t make it.
