It’s getting closer. On June 7th, Malmo in Sweden is going to explode with the carnage of the Quiksilver Bowlriders 07.

This shit is going to be ridick. Ben, Ross and Andy reppin’ hard for the UK, plus just the thought of seeing Javier Mendizabal and Booze n Tits shred the bowls is making me drool from the mouth like a groggy flow pen.

From June 7th-June 10th, Malmo is definitely the place to be. Sick bowl sessions, live music and art exhibitions will all be going down. If you have the opportunity to go to this, don’t miss out. Carpe diem and what not.

Have a gander of the riders confirmed for the event so far.

Skate rats across the states are buckling up for Emerica’s wild ride, a tour with a difference.

Instead of sitting down, having shit signed and watching Am Whatzisname frontside flip hip after hip after hip before going home only relatively stoked, this tour is fully interactive.

Anyone who’s down can come camp out with the Emerica team, chill with a beer, session a dope skatepark with them, discuss the theories of relativity over a coffee? Whatever, this ride is no holds barred.

The stallion is let loose on Go Skateboarding Day, June 21st at Battle Grounds in Washington, and ends up over in San Fran for Emerica’s Wild In The Streets. All the big hitters are on board, from Reynolds to recent fully pledged Emerican, Jerry Hsu. This is most non-heinous. When’s the tour coming to Basildon then? No? Oh…
