Damn! Finally a mini ramp comp where the winners circle actually means something. RVCA organised a sick comp last week with Art by Vegan Hessian Ed Templeton and music by Nightime Shadow, Neckface.

There was $5000 up for grabs and needless to say the skaters started grabbing, slashing and thrashing about to win the loot.

In the end it was the very unexpected but also very underrated talent of Stu Graham that placed 3rd behind Uber skills Mark Appleyard in 2nd position and Texan beast Ben Schroeder (Dig in the history books for more references!) who took top honours. The skating was off the hook, so peep this footage courtesy of Thrasher Magazine and be blown away!

Enjoi dropped one of the best videos for 2006 – Bag Of Suck, without a doubt, and if that wasn’t enough the boys have decided to release a promo clip shot during the making of Bag Of Suck.

Have you heard about Enjoi’s link to Global terrorism and debauched youth..? Someone seems to think so in any case…

We just received a load of amazing photos from the Antiz boys taken during their trip through Oregon. Keeping it real, hotels were only used to charge camera batteries and abuse the authorised number of people per room, food was borrowed from local eateries and David ‘Roest’ Martelleur managed to party for 10 days straight before getting lost all by himself in the wild outback of Oregon.

We anticipate the next Antiz video with bated breath – due to drop sometime around the New Year so music rights can be cleared. In the meantime, here’s a fun list of facts from their trip:

Distance covered – 1800 miles
Number of parks skated – 15
Number of Chicks – 0
Number of dicks – 12
Number of cars – 2
Number of tents – 3
Number of people asleep in a double room – 10
Number of beers drunk – 1483
Number of bags of skunk – 2
Number of stink ass farts – 4883

Even if some skater documentaries are dubious to say the least, this new craze definitely picks a few winners. Since getting up close and personal with Reebok, DGK Boss Stevie Williams opens up his life story for the cameras, and honestly it’s pretty amazing.

Watch it here, while the link lasts.

In related Kayo Corp news, the Gold Wheels Video, Got Gold? is now officially out of print, so the good guys decided to share a bit of urban history by posting it up here.

If you are not crossing the channel to witness the Globe Bowlbash at the brand new Area 51 Skatepark in Eindhoven this weekend, don’t worry as Crossfire will be bringing the event to you when we return.

Seeing how the world’s largest board sport company just acquired DC Shoes, it’s only normal that they should have a go at branding footwear too.

Well, Quiksilver have already made a few pairs of shoes, but now you can appreciate the high level technology founded by DC Shoes to be stamped with the Wave of a sports mogul.

If ever you’re up for a test of your tranny skills, may I suggest a roll around on Frankenstein?

This wooden bowl/sculpture has currently been re-located to the Belgian town of Mechelen and is considered a work of art.

Honestly, this beast has some of the tightest transitions, pockets and walls deemed skateable, that even dropping in will have you shitting yourself. Some top euro pros are scared of it after suffering broken bones and dislocated joints.

The ramp is open to ride till the 26th November at Juegdcentrum Metteko, Zakstraat, 2800 Mechelen from 12-3pm for free Monday to Friday.

Whilst you’re in town, don’t forget to check out local shutter boy, Jelle Keppens, photo exhibition!

In more international shenanigans, Jérémie Daclin and Colin Kennedy are now the face of Hurley Clothing’s international team.

Hurley is a tentacle of the Nike empire, so this move makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is whereabouts Bob Burnquist’s Hurley Footwear venture went..?

Nothing hurts more than a dislocated elbow- especially if you weren’t tempting death when you did it! Get well soon Vaughan!
