Things are changing rapidly over at the Antiz camp. Z-Movie is screening all over Europe to rave reviews, a brand new board series designed by amateur Ben The is getting shipped out to stores and a new rider has joined the team.
Gabriel Engelke has been down with the boys for quite a while now, so his addition to the roster is a given. Not familiar with Gabriel’s skating? You should be. He’s calm and creative and clocks some wicked tricks in the Scandinavian opus, Neighbours alongside fellow Antiz pro, Love Enroth.
Last year the DC team spear-headed a best trick comp of sorts that focused on all the sick spots and amazing talent the American Big Apple, New York, had to offer.
Needless to say a whole load of hot tricks went down from locals as much as the DC riders themselves. Peep the King of New York here .
Get comfy.

And here is the super sick footage, filmed by Michael Novosel. Yama boys David Martelleur and Ferit Bati are going to be hurting… Shouts go out to Muckefest Skateboards for repping.
The Wu are back and ready to release a new crew album this year.
After teaming up with Steve Rifkind, who released their debut album on his label, all nine Clans members will be on the new record, including ODB. Reports are that the album will be called 8 Diagrams and is named after a Kung Fu film.
The first Wu Tang record in six years will feature RZA, GZA, Ghostface, Raekwon, Masta Killa, U-God, ODB, Inspektah Deck and Method Man and will contain an unreleased performance by ODB. RZA said of the new record:
“This is the perfect time for us to come back, the stars are aligned. It’s like when we first started with Steve. We put out real hip-hop at a time when it was turning into pop or R&B. We brought the focus back to the music in its rawest form, without studio polish or radio hooks.”
Legendary band are due to come back with original frontman.
Reports are saying that Van Halen are close to agreeing a deal that will see them tour the USA with original front man Dave Lee Roth who recently had his radio show with CBS Radio cancelled.
Sammy Hagar, who had been the band’s most recent singer, quit after their 2004 tour after falling out with Eddie Van Halen.
Jimi Hendrix‘s image is to be used on the front of a drink.
The legendary guitarist will have his face put on Liquid Experience, a non-alcoholic drink, which will be in shops in April. However this has angered and upset many fans including Flea from the Chili Peppers, who said:
“To see his image and the beautiful feelings it has created in me cheapened by advertising is very disappointing.”
However, it is said that the profits will go to an unnamed music education foundation.
Bright Eyes have posted up the first track from their forthcoming EP.
