It’s been another great year for Kris Vile on the footage front. Enjoy his section from the Albion video released earlier this year. If you don’t have a DVD of this in your house then source one as it’s a must have.
Enjoi Skateboards have released their colourful Carnival Series decks this week designed by the talented London based illustrator Rob Mathieson who smashes it once again on the art front. Pro models from Jose Rojo, Zack Wallin, Louie Barletta, Cairo Foster, Wieger Van Wageningen, Nestor Judkins, Jimmy Carlin and Ben Raemers were formed from an amazing circus montage inspired by Barletta’s vision and nailed by Mathieson’s hard work in the studio.
This is also one of the best video adverts of the year. Look out for them in your local skate shop.

HUF’s Stoops Asia tour video
Ph: Johnathan Mehring
Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Siam and Korea get paid a visit from the HUF team in this new video blog featuring Brad Cromer, Josh Matthews, Joey Pepper, Dan Plunkett, Peter Ramondetta, Kevin Terpening and Sammy Winter. Realy well put together with sick skating.
The Mafia are back with a joint special featuring Wes Kremer and Tyler Surrey to kick off the week, and remember, it’s that time of the year when all sorts of radness drops ahead of the Xmas period. This is no exception of course but you are going to cream at Kremer’s enders – he has to be in the running for SOTY.
If you want more from Kremer, go get some crust and finish on his extras.

Madars Apse Element pro part
Latvian ripper Madars Apse has rolled out incredible skateboarding to the scene for years now, so it’s fitting that his name will be on a new Element deck before the start 2015. This amazing welcome part ‘Subject Madars’ proves it was more than well deserved and takes Skate Edit of the Week – be prepared to rewind certain tricks on impulse.
Just when you think you have seen it all a Frenchman (with obviously too much time on his hands) decides to line up a series of scenarios of skateboarding fruit and veg in his kitchen. Welcome to Skitchen, where the foods we eat daily become a skateboarding subject for a Parisian artist you should know by the name of Benoit Jammes.
Salad grind anyone? Pick a winner.
