The UK Vans team are currently in Croatia shooting some memoirs for a future feature in Document Magazine and to film some podcasts.

Powley’s crew consisting of Ross McGauran, Kris Vile, Chris Oliver and Ben Nordberg have been checking out the architecture and finding new spots this week in Split, the second largest city in Croatia which has just under 200,000 inhabitants and is also the largest city on the Adriatic coast.

The official Croatian tourist website says: there is no dispute about this: the most beautiful girls in Croatia come from Split (sorry, Zagreb!). Powley blogged on ShitKnees that they were subject to ‘good spots, nice people, good weather – Stoked!’ Our thoughts go out to all involved as it must be tough being a pro skateboarder…

Ramiro Furby Salcedo’s first major video part from Digital Skateboardings’ ‘Imagine‘ has been posted on the Kr3w website.

The Deathwish skater from South Central Los Angeles has been getting attention of late with his smooth style to bolts skateboarding and many people have been waiting for his footage to drop.

‘Imagine’ features Danilo Cerezini, Rodrigo Lima, Ramiro Furby Salcedo, John White, and Adam Dyet, look out for more of this footage to emerge soon.

It’s been a long time since we stuck news up about Bastian Salabanzi since his move to Jart from Flip so we thought we would bring this little bit of footy to you so you know he has still got that pop.

The creme of British transition skating have escaped the UK weather and have left to seek good times across the pond this month.

Duffs riders Mark Munson, Carl ‘Potter’ Wilson and Ben Raemers are currently in Oregon getting sweaty in as many parks as possible and Scottish gnar bomb Benson gets props on Thrasher’s website with a ‘kin sick alley-oop frontside corner air. Check this clip out and weep.

To add to the invasion, Andy Scott, Stu Graham, John Rattray and Div all visited the DC warehouse recently for a sesh on their mammoth vert ramp. Check a few tricks here also posted on the Thrasher website this week.

Tweaker Zine have unleashed a bunch of new features this week for you to check out.

New features include an interview with Russell Cowling who masterminded the recent Never Forever film, French is profiled after his recent illustration skills have anded on a new Real deck, Alex Maw showcases his photo steez and much more.

Go to www.tweakerzine.com for all the trimmings.

David Gonzalez has officially turned pro for Flip Skateboards. The Columbian ripper has taken skateboarding to a new level over the last year and has earned his stripes for sheer technical prowess and burly steez.

Fllp made a statement through their website this weekend saying ‘David serves as an inspiration to young skateboarders from around the world, proving that no matter where you are from, with heart and determination, it is possible to make it into the big leagues. Flip is extremely proud to sponsor this very special young man, and look forward to watching the evolution of his positive impact on skateboarding.’

Look out for David who will feature in Flip’s third video “Extremely Sorry” at the Crossfire hosted Flip London Demo at Bay Sixty 6 skatepark on Saturday June 28th where he will skate a demo alongside teammates Mark Appleyard, Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny, Rodrigo TX and Flip ams.

Last night www.lakai.com was relaunched with a new shoe range, The Election Series.

Go check out the site and view the MJ, Koston, Carroll and Howard animation and look out for the polls in June as your vote will elect a new champ. Lakai have also just uploaded YouTube sections of Fully Flared for your eyeballs.

A year ago, My Skate or Die was on the lips of most down South. Lev Tanju did a great job of taking the piss out of anyone he knew (or didn’t even know) and the plan worked, people talked about it and like us, loved the audacity of it.

Since then, the mighty mouth of Southbank has been a little more discreet with his public assaults and now we know why – he’s been too busy working on this brand new video.

The Palace Wayward Boys Choir have been documenting enough non 3 chip skate footage for a cyber video feed. November 2008 is the likely time that Lev will takeover the internet and the rest of the planet with his devious ploy to disrupt all civilised skateboard scenes. Expect footage from Brady, Pressey, Chewy, Snowy, Brophy, Todd and many many more. This looks fun, click the button for crack and bangers.

Blueprint’s webisodes from their Mallorca trip keep on coming weekly. Here’s the 3rd installment of Tales of the Black Glove for your viewing pleasure with host Paul Shier and skating from Brady Jensen, Shier, Baines and more. Skateboarding is fun.

Look across the water to sunny Spain this week and you will find out that Nomad Skateboards have welcomed Sasha Tushev to their International team. Check out Sasha’s bangers below.
