Want to see something creative done on a skateboard? A harsh spot taking a thrashing? A fat bloke get his cock out..? Then save your pennies for the new Death video.

Zorlac and the boys are hard at work at digitalising their lives for your viewing pleasure and the displeasure of the Blue Rinse Brigade. Plus, in case you were sleeping under a rock, you might want to know that Richie Jackson and Patrick Melcher will be clocking in full parts as the latest Death pros!

Speaking of pros, Ricky Oyola’s guest model is very rare with only 500 models spread across the globe, so get one while stock exists! Expect a wider Melcher board to hit the shelves soon at 8.25 inches.

Finally, good minds think alike and Richie and Zorlac took the new UK Consolidated riders Ben Raemers and Ollie Tyreman for a mini Consolidated/Death tour of Northern California.

Feel free to get out the Ferrero Rocher and greet the Yama Skateboard team as they cruise around London and Southern England next week for an unofficial UK tour.

These guys- Ferit Batir, Muki Rustig, David ‘Roest’ Martelleur, Chris Pfanner… are seriously bad-ass on boards, and good beer buddies off them, so expect some serious hammers to drop with Yama!

Myself and 2P just attended the Jackass premier in town and i must admit, i was invited there and was thinking it was gonna be wack, but the film had us laughing all the way to the ventolin inhalers, it’s fucking hilarious!

Bam and the boys have made another shocking movie but this one will make you wince, laugh, cry, and shit your pants all at the same time.

What spawned from Big Brother in 1999 has mutated into a worldwide freak show propelled by MTV’s stunt series over the years and Jackass 2 showcases the entire crew on point with Knoxville annihilated in a bullring, Spike Jonze dressed as a 90 year old woman with her low slung baps out on the street, Steve O as human bait for mako sharks and horse cum drinking, Erehn Gheyey completing the loop on a mini motorcycle, Preston Laceys fart chamber, We Man’s electric chair and shitloads more. You cant really explain it in words, it just rolls and rolls and even if you are over this whole thing, once it begins you cant help but laugh your ass off.

Knoxville almost gets killed on a rocket launch into a lake as the cylinder ble w a whole the size of your handand Ryan Dunn who is knocked out from a stunt buzzer also was heavily damaged from a horsebolting stunt. Rumour has it that he was allegedly jolted so harshly that he has actually suffered a bloodclot in his heart that could be life threatening, hence his absence from the premier and the big question mark over the editing of a third movie – even though there is apparently loads of footage left over from the last 6 months of filming.

The afterparty at the Sin Club on Charing Cross Road served free cocktails all night where a host of really sad c-list celebrities from Big Brother and Celebrity Love Island were seen mingling amongst London’s press brigade and hangers-on. Knoxville was spotted leaving the club gingerly at midnight with his bouncer, obviously in need of horse cum. The search continues whilst Erin Gheyey takes the mantle as the pube beard wearing armed terrorist that got served in a gag that was reversed and made the show.

Go see this film if you are bored one night as it will have you in stitches whatever you may think of their stunts and pranks these days.

Just to prove that the Austrian Wörgl bowl is fully functional and ready to rip, the boys from Muckefest held the Pluto comp on October 7-8th for the opening and a healthy handful of European Thrashers turned up to skate and celebrate.

Despite the weather being shit on the Saturday, it was all sunshine on the Sunday, and things went right off the Richter scale. It was a tough call, but these were the final results:

Thrasher have announced their latest Skater of the Year and they couldn’t have hit the nail on the head any harder- Daewon Song!

How many video parts? How many spots? And how many trick combinations??? Here’s a sweet appetizer from Thrasher before a full SOTY part drops.

Just in time for winter, a sweet bowl has been built in Leeds, at The Works skatepark to be more precise (where else..?).

It was built by handymen Snoz and Lee Rozzee mainly with help from Vince Orr, Dave Stobart and Dougie McLaughlin. The authentic pool coping was sourced from Howard at Cranbourne Stone in Hampshire and is white portland aggregate concrete on flexi adhesive and grout.

The overall measurements look approx like this:

Length 35ft
Deep end 8ft
Shallow end 7ft
Dia. deep end 18ft
Dia. Shallow end 14ft

It’s a Kidney bowl with ramp effect from deep to shallow end with a bulge in one side and a 10ft radius on the external curve.

Guys like this know how to treat the beast. Cheers to Mike at Heathen and Simon at The Works for the info.

Element Europe are kicking ass at the moment. Gnarly cutie, Evelien Bouillart placed second at the annual Etnies Goofy Vs. regular comp pocketing a clean $2500.

Street technician/Street architect Janne Saario and girlfriend Essi recently had a little baby boy – Congratulations!

And finally, a new recruit who goes by the name of Guillaume Moquin has just been added to the team. Zac has seen him skate in the flesh a few times and says he absolutley rips as an all rounder, expect big things.

Ever since the infamous Shortys ads featuring Rosa, no other company has had skaters drooling like the new Hubba wheels models.

Well, apparently the contant of their advertisements was too hot to handle for the Emos that hang out on MySpace, and the wheel company saw its page censored. Suckas!

Don’t fret though, just click over to www.hubbawheels.com to witness the fitness.

Oh shit…! That’s what you’ll be saying when you see the new Antiz video.

The boys – Julian Dykmans, Hugo Liard, Tom Dericks, Sam Partaix, Julien Bachelier, Ben Thé, Steve Forstner, Love Enroth, Julian Forones are working on their intros and last tricks, so the bomb will drop soon. No name yet, nor marketing plan, but that’s the way we like it!
