If you missed this laid back, countrified Mark Suciu edit that was posted by Red Bull back in June, Miguel Valle has posted it up online to his vimeo account overnight.
Would you have attempted this ender?

If you follow this zine regularly you will know we have been chomping at the bit to see this Washington DC hardcore scene documentary come to fruition, but now it’s a reality. The funding via Kickstarter reached its target and the film, put together by director/writer Scott Crawford and producer/editor Jim Saah, will be screened in December at the Black Cat venue with Soulside and Moss Icon playing live and then released.
Watch the official trailer for “Salad Days: The Birth of Punk in the Nation’s Capitol” right here and look out for the likes of John Stabb, Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins, Dave Grohl, Alec Mackaye, plus many more and get hyped.
Josh Evin was a Canadian skateboarder who unfortunately died as a result of a motorcycle accident back in 2010 and ran a skate shop, Black Russian. Today, various clips of Josh have been released by Morgan Campbell who had a bunch of tapes from the summer of 2003 and 2004 for fans, family and also those who didn’t know him.
“I have been meaning to edit this raw footage together for ages” says Campbell, “but to tell you the truth I could only just come at it now. And yes, many tears were shed in the process. This is all from a couple of short Canadian trips we did together, when I wasn’t skating I would point my camera at the others, but admittedly it was usually Josh up to some crazy light speed aeronautics.”
Also watch this tribute to Josh. RIP.
Morgan Campbell found and old tape with footage of the very last Invisible Skateboards tour back in 1988 where the team spent 40 days on the road across 23 states. Invisible was the next phase of Blockhead Skateboards back then but disbanded after 4 years or so.
Push play for unseen footage of Kristian Svitak, Morgan Campbell, Trevor Prescott, Jimmy Astleford, Jim Bates and Laban Pheidias.
Any 20 year milestone in skateboarding needs applauding due to the ridiculous amount of commitment behind it. Chocolate Skateboards are celebrating their double decade this year after starting the team with Chico Brenes back in April 1994. Enjoy this documentary of how it started with Andy Jenkins, Chico, Kenny Anderson, Gino Iannucci, Sam Smyth and Jeremy Carnahan.
The 900′ story told in the All This Mayhem movie has been shared today by Vice whose footage of Tony Hawk vs Tas Pappas back in the 90s at a best trick contest reveals the fight these two skateboarders were facing at a time when nobody had completed the 9 yet.
The full film is a rollercaoster journey and on iTunes if you want to download it.

Lakai Griffin Mid
Lakai have matched the change in the season with a new Griffin Mid in stunning brown suede. This all-weather model comes with a reinforced tongue, herringbone inner liner that should keep your feet toasty in the cold months ahead with a slimline cut.
Ask your local skate shop that sells skater owned products to get you a pair, and keep your feet skater owned.
Daan Van Der Linden won the latest Concrete Weekend jam at Annecy’s Les Marquisats skatepark in France. Looked like a fun event.
