Last week Split churned out a tell-us-a-story session with their Elvis inspired pro Jason Adams. The Kid cracks open his bonnet on a trip down the famous Route 66 with barrier worship included of course. That Split site also good swimwear. Get in there.
Looks like skateboarding was getting tough in SF during the 80’s when it comes to the ladies. Check out the Skate Witches and then imagine them in a jelly wrestling situ with The Pink Ladies. Rogue crew look out cos if they are still rocking in 2007 you girls are finished!
It’s one of those fuck all to do with skateboarding news pieces – but are these 2 muppets friends of yours?
To further add to the internet hype around this video, (which I heard was all shot on 35mm by Steven Spielberg in space), Lakai are running a competition for one lucky person and a friend to win a fully paid for trip and be flown out to the world premiere on November 16th.
The “Fully Flared, I’m There” competition runs until October 11th so get your skates on and enter on the Lakai website.
Volcom’s Wild In The Parks tour gets ready to land at Transition Extreme skatepark in Aberdeen, which is preparing itself for an onslaught of ridiculous skating on Saturday October 6th.
Prizes are being sorted out, skaters are organising travel plans, including Volcom team riders Kris Vile, Ben Raemers, Chris Ault and Rory Milanes. With that lineup, and seeing how those guys destroyed it at our Southbank Jam, I might book my ticket up to Scotland now.
The day will get underway around 2pm with a “15 and under” group and “16 and over” battling it for those prizes. And don’t forget the after party at Moshulu, free entry from 9.30pm and music by the one and only NATO and NEX. Git yeesells there…

The rains kept at bay long enough for the Brighton Level Jam to go down on Saturday. With locals Louis Cooper and Amir Williams in attendance, some bangers got thrown down for the shouting crowds.
Results of the day were:
1st- Amir Williams
2nd- James Kilpatrick
3rd- Tom Felix
Peel your eyes with a knife, and you might see a little feature on the Jam this week on the Crossfire site. In the meantime, Amir destroys the haggard wood of the Level with kickflip frontside boardslides

Osiris Shoes have teamed up with Consolidated to produce their own version of the Drunk shoe.
The shoes are going to be sold only at core skate and surf shops in support of the Don’t Do It campaign, a movement that seeks to put the power back into the hands of those companies that built the action sports industry.
Osiris will be the first in a series of core skate companies who will be creating a new version of the Drunk each season. Consolidated Skateboards, who has been leading the Don’t Do It campaign since 1997, rallied the support of the heads of many of the core industry companies to lead this awareness campaign by creating a new version of the Drunk each season. “Making quality skate shoes is not our specialty, so we are excited to co-op “Drunks” with Osiris and other quality skate shoe makers.” says Steve “Birdo” Guisinger.
