Magazines are dying out there and only you can change it before more are canned. The Skateboard Mag’s latest issue fronts a beautiful reason why you should have printed media on you at all times. Scout it out.

Skate Edit of the Week is raw as a cat’s arse. Jimmy Larsen hangs on to everything and chooses sketchy spots that us Brits crave.

The Anti Hero team take this week’s travel edit. Some noses were raised when the word Israel was mentioned, you have to see it for yourself.

Matt Berger did not hold back making his pro part for the mighty Flip Skateboards. More bangers than Guy Fawkes in this.

Max Geronzi hype reached critical acclaim when this Gypsy Life part dropped from Cliche. Take your pick for the best trick.

London hype came in book form, accompanied by this Of London edit featuring a few chosen reps from the capital.

This week’s Vault videos come from Joe Gavin’s Manchester scene video Snake Eyes Die that has been aired to web a few days back. Take in the British goodness from a 2013 classic.

The one and only Mark Gonzales rounds off this footage fest with dope classics as recommended by Jason Jessee. Does it get any better than this?

The Couch Potato #1

By Ralph Lloyd Davis

If the rose-tinted image of a skate video was like a cute mogwai in our eyes, the internet came along and threw the little thing we love and hold dear into an Olympic-sized outdoor pool with a finger buffet stacked heavily beneath the diving boards. Footage has literally flooded the internet and our retinas over the last few years and today you can quite easily spend an entire afternoon and evening watching pros, amateurs and oddballs flip, spin and launch themselves the world over in pixelated 3 minute bursts.

Without bashing the free perspective of this digital media, many filmers and cinematographers take this opportunity to put their hard work out there for our viewing pleasure and ask for nought in return. Unfortunately they are small fish in an ocean teeming with life, so we thought we could fish a few out for you to take notice. These deserve to be bookmarked and watched full screen so get the teas on and push play.
