Sam Beckett‘s new pro status on Blind Skateboards was announced after a top sesh at the House of Vans in London a couple of week’s back, so enjoy the footage from that session and get your eyes on his new pro model that is heading to your local skate shop right now.
It’s not often a UK pro gets a board on a US company so raise that glass!
Jon Horner’s latest splendid work can be found on a new Cliché Skateboards Street deck series. Look out for pro decks ariving at your local skate shop from Andrew Brophy, Lem Villemin, Sammy Winter, Javier Mendizabal, Lucas Puig and Joey Brezinski.
The guys at Mother Collective ran into some legal nightmares only a few months after launching their new skate company and were served up a cease and desist letter. Like any name thesedays, it’s tough to find one that isn’t owned by someone else, even if it’s not for the same goods, but it looks like they’ve nailed the issue head on.
You can imagine the amount of stress this would have caused but they have fought it and re-launched this week under a new name, so welcome Quasi Skateboards and their new first run of decks that look incredible.
Nothing has changed other than the name so look out for these colourful gems in your local skate shop.

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.

Been a while since Scumco & Sons released some footage so get stuck into this upbeat number with footage of Philly Santossouso, Stan Karbine, Josh Narvaez, loads of Ty Beall and many more.
