The connection and satisfaction watching an edit filmed across unfamiliar territory always excites due to the untouched spots, and so many different cultures to take in. Samuel Partaix, Phil Zwisjen and Bastien Duverdier visited Myanmar (Burma) and came back with Guillaume Périmony’s fantastic edit from the trip for your enjoyment.

You have to pay to play. Brendon Villanueva battled with a lip slide on this 20 stair hand rail. Watch the pain and realise how much it takes to get a video part down.
Death’s wizard pro from Down Under Richie Jackson is back with his fifth installment of his online series. The past is revisited with a peep into retro skateboard factories and he pulls apart Caballerial Flips with a wax ball. Not fakie full cab, Cab Flips.
We hear that something very special is coming in the next series. Keep checking in for the goods. Yes, even his own mouth is wide open for that one.

‘Bagboy’

PIXIES fans are literally in meltdown right now. On Friday they issued a brand new track called Bagboy that flew round the internet and it’s a peach too. No let down’s, no mention that they are over it by anyone who has good ears for music – the only bad news is that Kim Deal has left the band. It sounds like she is singing on this though. Deal has been replaced by Kim Shattuck who has played played bass for The Pandoras and guitar for The Muffs in the past.
Bagboy is the first track to be released by the band in 9 years, recorded last October and produced by Gil Norton. Made from their trademark upbeat drums and led by Black Francis the track calls to ‘cover your breath, polish your speech’. What that actually means, we have no idea, but get ready for the UK tour dates below and I guess, a full album.
NOVEMBER UK TOUR:
18 – Olympia, DUBLIN, IRELAND
21 – Apollo, MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM
22 – Barrowlands, GLASGOW, UNITED KINGDOM
24 – Hammersmith Apollo, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

Heroin Skateboards celebrated their London premiere of Video Nasty this Saturday in an off-the-beaten-track room in Hackney that was full to the brim with those in the know. The anxiousness disappeared as soon as Rogie pushed the button on what was an inspiring 37 minutes of quirky Heroin video radness filled with new faces and a plethora of sick skating.
No spoilers will come from this report but for me personally, the Japanese chapter repping in this flick have pushed the goddamn boat out, but that’s not to take away from all involved in the overall fast-rolling speed of this production that has a bit of everything for everyone. From Manchester’s streets and Jim Craven’s sick filming, to Canada’s barrier kult wow’s, this has it all.
Our hangovers (on a 7 yesterday) have cleared now to reveal the remains of this drunken night out in East London. Unfortunately my camera blew up on the night leaving us with these awful shots. Fuck it though, this one was all about punk rock and doing it for the hell of it. Look out for Video Nasty coming to a skater owned shop near you soon. You damn well need it in your life.
It’s not often you see Mark Gonzales and Natas together but check this interview with Natas interviewing Gonz about skateboarding over the years. These guys changed skateboarding for the better, forever. Must watch.
