FreeYourSpot.com is a brand new website that aims to catalogue every skatespot worldwide by you submitting location and photos of it, to create a bible of skatespots online.

No more searching for hours in the sketchiest backstreets of Poland to find that elusive marble block beauty. Just search for it and you have a map of where to go. Although skeptical at first that this might ruin that feeling of ‘the hunt’ for spots, this has already had me saying “Aaaah, so that’s where that is!”.

Osiris are releasing an artist range of shoes with the latest being a shoes featuring the drawings of Zach Johnson, which will be hitting the shops right now.

Zachariah Johnson is a young artist concentrating in watercolour, pen and ink, and mixed media who works on paper. His medium of choice is the micron pen and he uses them exhaustively to describe a world of ghouls, monsters and misfits – the shady characters in everyday life, but just hidden from normal view.

The opening day is scheduled for Nov 24th but you can get more info and pictures over at www.crimescene.be

Bloody hell, this place looks nice. Might have to get some flights booked I think.

I will not hear a bad word against Heath Kirchart. He’s been absolutely killing it for years and years now, taking some of the gnarliest slams and still getting back up to nail ludicrous tricks down massive hubbas, yet still remaining completely modest about it all.

Heath gets his time to shine on the latest Epicly Later’d as part of the Emerica Wild Ride, and like Reynolds says “He’s quiet and gets on with his shit”.

For those that don’t know, The Berrics is the skatepark created through the amalgamation of Eric Koston and Steve Berra.

Launching their brand new website on December 1st, The Berrics will provide you with all the action going down at the park with features on pretty much all of skateboarding from around the world.

For more info, and to see action from the likes of Sean Malto, Guy Mariano, Jimmy Cao, Daryl Angel, Heath Kirchart and more, head over to www.theberrics.com

Check out this new teaser video from Dominion Skateshop in the US, for their new video The Main Course, out now.

Don’t get confused like I did, and think that Tyler Beall is wearing a paperbag on his head. He isn’t, but for a second I thought, “Shit, that’s well gnarly”.

After parting ways with Matix recently, Danny Garcia has been snapped up by clothing giants Quiksilver to make sure he isn’t naked whilst skating.

Leicester Square was literally blown away last night by the Lakai boys and their Fully Flared video.

When we say blown away, the intro sequence had us all diving for the bomb shelters, just you wait. In attendance were Brandon Biebel and Mike Carroll, whose sections were chronicles of ridic, and other outstanding sections from the likes of Mike Mo (holy shitting Christ that kid is good), Eric Koston, Scott Johnston, Jesus Fernandez, MJ, Rick Howard, The Royal Family, Guy Mariano and many more.

Just to let you know, no-one at the London premiere cried during Mariano’s section, unlike some kid in Los Angeles when it was shown, apparently! The after party shenanigans round the corner left a few people with soreheads, naturally, the evidence of which can be found below in yet another booze-fuelled Night Raids, coming very soon!
