The Thrasher Photo Issue Th1rt3en is available now and it looks sick!

Featuring everything you’d expect from Thrasher, it’s 172-page photo edition of the best skateboarders in the world, skating the gnarliest stuff in the world, taken by the best photographers in the world. Bottom line- this is probably the best thing in the world.

Check out www.thrashermagazine.com to get your copy, and also look at all the other stuff there, including a Circa Canada tour, Dylan Rieder interview, and competitions to win an A.V.E Alienworkshop deck.

Science Skateboards have just picked these beauties up from the printers. Really high quality tshirts and some nice prints, Science always deliver. You can pick one of these up from their online shop by visiting www.scienceskateboards.co.uk and handing over you bank details.

Now you too can dress as sharp as Regan!

What on fucking earth is going on with kids and their stupid shoes with wheels attached?

If those bloody Heely things weren’t bad enough by making tiny children appear to hover over the ground with no control whatsoever, some absolute bell-end has taken the concept too far. Skateboard shoes.

Speechless. I’m not even angry, I’ve just lost all hope for humanity and feel empty and numb inside. Jesus Christ. Seriously. What next? Unicycle trousers? Iceskate hats? Surfboard tshirts?

I swear to Satan, if I see anyone, and I mean anyone wearing these, I will punch you in the face. Repeatedly. With barbed wire boxing gloves. Covered in concrete. Then spit blood in your eyes.

This is just the people wearing these disgraces. If I ever meet anyone involved with this company, watch yourself. I might beat you to death with your rivals footwear.

Thrasher have whacked up some ridiculous Anti Hero team footage on their site.

Frank Gerwer, Ryan Petaishiski and Ryan McWhirter completely shred this park to pieces and you know they aren’t even trying.

Click over there, watch and drool.

Altamont have hooked up with with acid’s favourite love-child Jimi Hendrix from beyond the grave to release a range of clothes featuring artwork by the guitarist.

Ok, so they haven’t really performed a séance and got him to scrawl on tshirts, but they are including Hendrix as a collaborator for their Fall line featuring some of his very rarely seen artwork.

As a company with ideals forged from the infamous Altamont festival, this partnership seems perfect.

Seeing as the real Olympics are going to be there, and we aren’t invited, it’s time to show them who’s boss with another Hackney Olympics at the infamous Bumps on Saturday 7th.

Booze, sun (probably not), skating and probably a lot swearing will make this probably the best day ever.

This is a totally unorganised event, so don’t expect any product toss, or you’ll get beaten up by drunks. This involves you lot turning up and making it fucking rad.

Turn up at Hackney Bumps from midday and prepare to rip the place to pieces, as well as some flesh off your body.

Oh my word, wow. Josh Stewart is clearly going to deliver the goods with Static 3 when it comes out.

With what will be some frankly incredible skating by Olly Todd, Soy Panday, Danny Renaud, and many more, this is going to be fucking nuts. And it’ll probably still be out before the Lakai video.

The trailer is now up on www.static3video.com or click the picture for youtube.

Screw all that J. Fox flick malarkey we’re all doing at the moment, Back To The Future seems to have made a few people honestly think they can create working hoverboards.

This World Thinktank article explains how very soon we’re all going to ditch our wooden planks in favour of anti-gravity boards.

Believe it when I see it…

Henry Edward-Woods has put together this fucking amazing edit for the Concrete Poets video ‘Writers Block’.

With footage from London and further, featuring the likes of Jin Shimizu, David Yap, Scott Howes, Greg Conroy, Kyle Edwards, Shaun Curry, Faris Hassen, this looks so sick.

It’s totally got me up for a skate today, shame I’m stuck at work…

Yes! Made my day this has! Flip Skateboards have uploaded some new Tom Penny footage on the media section of their website.

Yeah, I know it’s got David Gonzalez in it, and yes he’s pretty amazing as well. But it’s Tom Penny. That’s all you need to know. That, and the fact he’s from my hometown, so I’m a little bit biased.
