Rad to see Heroin getting amped on their new video that’s in the works. Bath Salts looks like it’s going to be Heroin’s next step forward with new faces who’ve bedded in since Fos upped sticks and headed for America. All ams, all on the up, coming this November.
This looks rad, get hyped!
Paul Schmitt has more experience and knowledge of making skateboards than anyone else on earth so when he was set a task to make a deck made of cardboard, it was odds on he would probably be able to pull it off. Tony Hawk tests the final design in this new engineering feat.
Mourn the apparent last of the French Fred tapes with none other than the British wizard of all things skateboarding, Tom Penny. I don’t know whether to first discuss the sadness that Fred Mortagne’s incredible archive of tapes from such an important period of skateboarding has come to an end, or the fact that unseen Penny footage is beyond gold.
The only way of leading out of this is to doff your hat to French Fred as his dedication to filming and photographing skateboarding his entire life is commendable. Thanks for everything.
Find more of Fred’s incredible work explained in our feature with him.
Most of us took our first ride on a little plastic rig but not all of us return to slay it in a way most would not think was possible. Spanish tech head Manolo Robles shows you what’s possible if you put your mind to it. Call the coastguard.
Supra sent us the new Lizard King signature model, The Shredder and it’s been tough to take them off, for no other reason than they are comfy straight out of the goddam box, and seem to pack more than enough space for your needs once they are on.
Supra have designed these with space in mind, but we’re not talking about your feet flapping around in them whatsoever, they just have that extra couple of millimeters of room in the toe allowing your phalange to move freely, the metatarsal to be protected but not squashed, (unlike some other models out there) and your cuboid reaps the rewards of a thin, but functional tongue that doesn’t slip sideways.
Underneath, the volcanized sole seems to grip like a god and the overall design of the canvas and suede mix looks dope. It’s a winner and in your local skate shop now.

AHEAD – Scotland
Powerslide your way through Scottish headlands with German skater Markus Blessing as he rolls through the elements filmed by Daniel Mildner and Dennis Götz. Their short film vision is to capture his skating across lands that have never felt urethane before, whatever the weather.
“This unbelievable country carved its everlasting imprint on my mind. And only that one thing underneath my feet lets me know, I got to go. Ahead.“
Now is the time indeed, although it could have quite easily been 1992. Yonnie Cruz and Brendan Carroll have ledges on lockdown and join Trevor Thompson in being unleashed to the interweb with their dope joint section from John Valenti’s Local Express flick.
Look out for cameos from Kevin Coakley and more in this Organized Konfusion.
