I’m always a fan of cameo’s in films, it’s fun to shout “Oh, it’s him of that other film!”.
So this new trailer for the EA Skate game was a right laugh, with appearances from Colin McKay, Jason Dill, Danny Way, P-Rod, and many more. If I ever have surgery I want The Gonz to do it.
Fuck yes! Perfect Friday morning viewing- skateboarding, heavy slams, metal and sunshine.
I’m not drinking coffee in the morning ever again, I’m watching the trailer for the new 1031 Skateboards video featuring the likes of Svitak, Dezort, Jaybourn, Vidal, Knight and Rojas.
Apparently, it’s ‘out sometime’, you know as much as I do. Just watch and rip.
The premiere of Concrete Poets latest video offering Writer’s Block is happening on 20th September. The video will be unleashed to the crowds at Slam City Skates from 7pm
Click on the trailer below to have a sneaky one and get ready for it.
Krooked’s Bobby Worrest is featured on a little documentary called Behind The Griptape on the DLX website, and shows how great a human being he is, on and off his skateboard.
He can do everything, he really can. He even got a little girl off drugs and back in school, that’s how awesome he is.
“Jacob who?” I hear you ask? Yes, Jacob Rosenberg is the latest interviewee on the VBS Epicly Later’d series.
And if you don’t know who Jacob Rosenberg is, he’s the man behind the lens of those little video productions Questionable and Virtual Reality.
“Ohhh, Jacob Rosenberg!”
Jason Adams has a really nice site with some of his artwork on it.

Breaking news – this is a photo of a sketch of Kennington bowl. Read the captions carefully, then make sure you skate this place as hard as you possibly can.
If the money grabbing gits of Lambeth council want to destroy this piece of history and replace it with trees, then don’t let it happen easily.
Jamie Harrison from South London said to Zac on the subject “Kennington being removed, my arse thats my fucking manor, they will have move me and my whole gypsy family chained to the fucking barriers, to get at it, I have called in a whole bunch of tree hating punks from Northampton (they love concrete there) to secure the site, two had offered to move into the cracks leading up the trannies, and the other 12 want something more refined so i gave them your home address! They were so stoked when I told them they would have to stay somewhere with a fox in it…..”“.
The eS Game of Skate Finals went down over the weekend, with a mental display of what can be done on a board these days.
Alex Mizurov continued his unending run of being really fucking good and not bailing ever to win the Am contest, bagging himself a year’s free mobile phone contract, year’s supply of bearings, and Transworld subscription.
However, the bigger boys in the Pro contest weren’t actually that big, and possibly not even pro. Chris Cole snapped the 1st place spot with a backside 360 kickflip leaving little Nyjah Houston and Mike Mo behind. Chris took home a tasty $10,000 for his troubles, see the full results below.

In between flash floods and a summer that never was The 3rd annual Battle of Hastings somehow managed to land on a sunny day. The park was heaving with skaters from all over the shop and the park was taking a heavy battering.
The fancy dress effort was most spectacular from Robin Hood to Tarzan and far too many guys dressed as ladies for my liking.
60 people signed up to battle it out, Amir Williams taking the win in A group closely followed by Harry Potter from Crawley and in 3rd place was the Gypo army with a doubles run From Meanwhile Kev & Aaron Sweeney. B group was won by Toby Shaw and C group was headed up by Gamester.
Highlight of the day was the Vert wall best Trick. Aaron took the win with a lien disaster closely followed by Harry with a blunt taking a good ten slams before he rode it away clean. Others through down feeble grinds, back disasters, frontside airs and other radness.
Prizes were handed out as everybody headed off to the pub, a good day indeed. Hugh thanks to everybody who helped run the day, all the skaters that made the journey down and all our sponsors: Death Skateboards, Vans Shoes, Neue Eyewear, Casual Skateboards, Jibstar Skateboards, Sidewalk Magazine & The Source Shop
