Turn back the clock a few years ago when skateboarding know-it-all trolls in forums were questioning Flip’s upcoming youth program and then compare it to now.
Flip’s Louie Lopez has always replied with sublime skills. Enjoy this sick new Spitfire edit.
With effortless ledge skating and an eye for the bigger stuff, Enzo Cautela just arrived on the scene for Bones with grace, control and style.
Shane O’Neill‘s lines from a trip to Melbourne, Australia are unleashed in his new edit, that’s not his new edit, but is.
Non-stop tekkers captured from a nine day trip – yeah. Let that sink in.
Al Davis moved from Habitat to Quasi Skateboards this weekend so Habitat decided to put this cheeky number together in his honour.
“Best wishes from all of us at Habitat to Al Davis. You are one of a kind and will be sincerely missed.”
If you are a fan of Richie Jackson’s work then see some of his eccentric skate work from a new perspective in this newly edited double vision montage.
Fun stuff.
Heroin’s second teaser for the soon-to-drop Magic Sticky Hand 2 is here. Smash a window and go get some.
If you missed the first one, follow your nose for P-Franks’.
If you’ve ever watched North of the Sun, a surf film where a small Norwegian crew live off the rubbish on a frozen beach for months with nothing, then you will enjoy this. Different concept of course but still with the nuts Norwegian view of never giving up and always trying different things.
Hermann Stene, Didrik Galasso, Henrik Lund and Karsten Kleppan give everything to skate the unskateable in frozen sands. Congrats to all at Turbin Film for creating it.
Scumco and Sons have honoured Ty Beall‘s efforts with a pro model this week. Get stuck into his Gospel part put together by the Bust Crew’s Will Rosenstock.
Pick it up and keep it forever from the Palomino.
With a big bag of tricks, a mean feebs and a tight smith in his arsenal, Killian Zehnder is back for Official with a beaut. With added cameo from Miles Silvas and an absolutely shocking choice of soundtrack.
It depends on what floats your boat of course as we are all different and appreciate different styles of skate shoe, but if you are looking to upgrade from a flimsy vulc into a shoe with protection, style and solid support straight out of the box then the etnies Jameson XT should be paid a visit.
After wearing a bunch of Lakai MJ’s for what seems like forever, the XT’s were a big change in how my feet were supported. Not to say the MJ’s were outclassed, it’s just a different experience that my plates met with joy. Total comfort with solid support.
These come with a hidden toe cap and when etnies say it’s hidden, they mean it. You can’t even identify it on first look but as a feeling when on, you can tell the entire shoe has a structure that holds everything in place – an extra layer of protection that you can’t ignore, but it doesn’t weigh the shoes down whatsoever. They are super light, snug and allow your feet to mold into the foam midsole like a dream. The best part of this after wearing them for a while now is that they have not lost their shape yet either, which most shoes sadly sign up for after frequent use. Essentially, these are built to spill.
Supporting a skater owned shoe company as a skateboarder should be your primary task when kitting yourself out, especially when the likes of Soletech who boast 30 years of in house technology research for skateboarding are making shoes this advanced for us. Scout them out and treat your feet to the XT this Spring, you will not regret it.
