Let’s kick this off with proof that Jesus rips after a bottle of wine.

Koichiro Uehara‘s section in Lens II took Skate Edit of the Week. Outrageous fast-footed skills.

Rain or shine Chris ‘Avi’ Atherton can be found in the back streets of Accrington self-filming his next web part for your viewing pleasure.

Paul Rodriguez, Nick Tucker and Carlos Ribeiro teach the streets some new lessons from the Primitive Skateboards launch.

Roger Skateboards’ uploaded a new edit overnight and bring Jazz to the party.

Ryan Reyes‘ part from ‘A Happy Medium 3’ has some tasty NBD’s and a whole lot more filmed in ditches and dusty spots.

If you are looking for fun skateboarding, look no further than this:

Get the teas on and look back in time to the VHS cut of ‘The End‘ by Birdhouse from 1998. This van of destruction features British skaters Ali Cairns and Brian Sumner alongside Andrew Reynolds, Tony Hawk, Rick McCrank, Heath Kirchart, Jeremy Klein, Steve Berra and many more.

The Vans Crossfire Egg Hunt 2014!

SORRY, THIS COMP HAS NOW ENDED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED.

Welcome to this year’s Egg Hunt in association with two of skateboarding’s giants, Vans and Independent Trucks. They have joined forces for an exclusive apparel and footwear collection this month and will be sending one lucky winner a package of goodness next week as an Easter gift.

What do you have to do?

See that egg below? It’s hidden in one of the articles on this very website. If you manage to find it, then head to our contact page to register the URL of the exact page where the egg is hidden. On Tuesday, we will randomly pick a winner from those who found it and announce who takes home the swag.

Where can you get more free Vans this weekend?

Our friends at Black Sheep on 59, Church Street in Manchester have hidden a specific ‘Vans sticker’ somewhere in their store randomly over this Easter weekend. Our friends at Consortium in Bournemouth have also hidden a specific ‘creme egg’ in their store too. Visit the shops, find the swag, hand them in over the counter and they will give you info on how to claim your free Vans shoes!

Good luck and happy hunting!

“blueberry” – Superb

blueberry_superb_supreme_cherry

Now that ‘cherry’ has dropped off the tree it was only natural for a parody to appear at some point. Skate Talk’s Bob Altamirano and a cast of friends that include Chris Segura, Kevin Meneses and many more make up the slick living Superb team, and have made their own version of events titled “blueberry” backed by MECHACHIEF’s music.

Enjoy.

Cloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings
‘Here and Nowhere Else’
(Wichita)

cloud_nothings_here_and_nowhere_else_sleeve_artOver the last few years, Ohio’s Cloud Nothings have built a reputation for raw Sub Pop style punk rock with quality tunes and plenty of youthful hunger. This is the follow-up to 2012’s excellent ‘Attack On Memory’ (produced by a certain Steve Albini, no less), and an indicator that Cloud Nothings aren’t mellowing with age (thank goodness).

Certainly, the likes of ‘Quieter Today’ and ‘Giving Into Seeing’ belt along with typical effervescence; singer/guitarist Dylan Baldi sounding increasingly unnerved as the pace quickens. A more melodic side comes to the fore on ‘Just See Fear’ and ‘Psychic Trauma’, which start with a languid Dinosaur Jr-esque jangle, but manage to grow some pretty fearsome musical teeth along the way.

It seems appropriate that, around the 20th anniversary of Mr Cobain’s sad demise, Cloud Nothings are marrying plaid-shirt melodies and fuzzed-up guitar noise in a way that frequently doffs its cap to Seattle’s finest, yet also injects fresh vitality into old sounds. Oh, and they’re great live too.

GETRAD – Another Every Other

If you watch this GETRAD video and realise you are not smiling by the end of it, then you should consider getting a scooter or just dumping your time on a skateboard for fashion parties instead.

THIS IS FUN.
