Slomo street stunts from Andy Coleman, Jess Young and Bertrand Soubrier shot in Paris have been aired by James Harris today. Window shakers.

Riley Hawk has racked up a huge amount of footage over the last year that has been edited together for a one off ‘Tape Deck’. Enjoy a bunch of raw footage and alternative angles of many road trips and missions from this guy’s life on 4 wheels.
Myles Rushforth’s scene video SPECTEMUR AGENDO based on the crew from Barnsley in the UK has been released today. Footage of Alex Bird, Eamon Croghan, Rob Salmon, Myles Rushforth and Zak Wright feature alongside an array of other local characters from South Yorkshire and beyond.
If you are wondering what the title of this flick actually means, it’s a Latin motto for “Let us be judged by our acts”. Judge it yourself by picking up one of these DVDs for £6 here and support British skateboarding.
All of Patrik Wallners’s Visual Traveling edits have been inspiring to date so take in his latest trip to Iran where the first boards have been pressed and around 100 skateboarders have started shredding. The spots in this film are absolutely mindblowing doubled with a barrage of dope skateboarding.
Kenny Reed, Phil Zwijsen, Michael Mackrodt, Lawrence Keefe, Walker Ryan and Denny Pham take in spots and culture from a mission that the two American skaters on this particular trip found tough. Find out why here.

This year’s Tampa Pro event was won by Nyjah Huston last night whose ability to put switch and regs hammers down at the drop of a hat took home the bacon from a weekend of it. Chaz Ortiz came second with Flip’s Alec Majerus taking third place.
Jamie Thomas‘ ‘Road Less Traveled‘ section has been awarded the remix treatment by Mike Gilbert. Press play for classic cannons from Fallen’s head honcho.
Krooked have teamed up with NYC artist Stephen McClintock for a new deck run for both Mark Gonzales and Brad Cromer who both feature in this short film shot in the Big Apple. Scroll down the page to see these sick new deck designs.

‘The Devil’s Toy’ Redux
Classic skateboard documentary “The Devil’s Toy” made originally back in 1966 by Claude Jutra is set to be re-imagined by 14 different film directors from around the world.
This incredible documentary dedicated “to all victims of intolerance” depicts skateboarding as an evil entity that transformed youth culture into the dark side and pictured a setting of street rogues rolling the streets on clay wheels, who threw rocks at cops and generally had the best time ever.
The 14 different film directors chosen for this have been hand picked from various countries and city’s around the world. Fred Mortagne will rep France with Flo Mirtain narrating it, New York will be covered by Steve Durand, LA by Greg Hunt,, Canada’s entry will be taken care of by Corey Adams whose Machotaildrop movie was a smash and so on. Films will also come from other directors in Greece, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa and Germany launching on April 30th.
What an amazing concept, but remember skateboarder’s: “Beware, the youth of the world is on the move and their aim is to take over!”
Watch the original here…

A small gathering of skaters from the 70s and 80s got together for a few jars last night in London. Whilst stood at the bar shooting the shit with ex Santa Cruz ripper and RAD contributor Shane O’Brien we started a discussion on the contenders for his top 3 UK street skaters of all time. After much deliberating on who would make this illustrious cut, he served up the following:
3. Curtis McCann took the third spot based on his “short lived but incredible skills” that he brought to the scene. “Even when he used to turn up to Latimer Road vert ramp looking to learn more from skating, he still bossed it.” His street skills were second to none but this ATV from Sutton, Surrey was one of the first of his era in the late 80s to pick up sponsors. Unfortunately his career was cut short by injuries but Curt was way ahead of his time.
2. Liverpool legend Geoff Rowley made the list because of his “gnarly attitude and insane progression. Even in his early years you could just tell he was going to be one of the best and he proved that tenfold. Absolute powerhouse”. You can’t argue with that. Man’s a beast and keeps giving. We literally cannot wait for his section in the forthcoming Vans video as he does absolutely nothing by halves.
1. “Skateboarding is full of interesting characters but Tom Penny tops the list based on his technical skills alone. He could take that bag of tricks absolutely anywhere and drop them without even blinking.” Penny’s asleep at the wheel, effortless unique style took Shane’s number one that was swiftly followed by a cold pint of Peroni and more debate.
This trio would be hard to beat but who would make your top 3?
Shane takes a smith at a most-likely piss stinkin’ MW2 for Santa Cruz back in 1989, as seen in RAD.
