Probably a little late on this gem. Too many men to even mention, but street skating at its rawest and most fun. Popping curbs and the homeless crutch wielding warriors of the road. Baghead crew and co take it international, with spots spanning continents in their coming video “Baghead Kills II”. but for now this will sit here and bring the hype. Hit the streets, have fun, care less.
Artist Mac Premo was tasked with creating an object from repurposed material and came up with new way of making decks with dumped waste.
The end product made from old pieces of wood and discarded paint buckets probably come up heavier than your average Canadian maple rig but it’s good to see people celebrating World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour with a heavy cruiser.
Austyn Gillette, say no more…
Baker are back with a bang. Reynolds still has a perfect backside flip, T-Funk is the future, Hawk Jnr looks more like his Dad everyday, Dollin’s still dangerous, Terry Kennedy is chains, Cyril is on fire, Nuge is bombing it, Herman’s still got it, but Rowan Zorilla….the new pro stole the show.
The Octagon crew are back with more futuristic editing from France.
It was only a few months ago that Matt Pritchard was run over on his bike leaving his challenge of raising £100,000 for charity in pieces, but as usual, his unbelievable energy and commitment has got him back on track and today he could equal world records.
The Death Skateboards lifer is close to completing 30 half iron distance races in just 22 days, equalling a world record. This is a huge milestone considering he had set out to complete the task in 30 days. That’s over 70.3 miles of swimmming, cycling and running every day.
What a total ruler. Get behind Pritch and donate for good causes at pritchards100kchallenge.com

There’s nothing like looking back into UK skate history at footage that has been archived for so long. Our mate Andy Evans has been sat on a bunch of demo footage until this week for Sidewalk‘s Crates series and it’s gold.
In their own words: Part 1 of The Demo’s Episode features footage from the 1991 Powell demo at Bath’s Victoria Park and a combined Faze 7 Real, Plan B and Black Label demo at Shrewsbury from 1992.
A lot of this footage has never been seen before so prepare yourself for footage of Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Mike Manzoori, John Cardiel, Karma, Mark Gonzales, Salman Agah, Tim Brauch (RIP), Alan Peterson, Curtis McCann and more from a time when nobody but skateboarders gave two shits about skateboarding.
