Watch this Backflip 5050
The internet is riddled with backflips right now. Here’s another one, this time with a 5050 thrown in for good measure and still ugly as hell. Is this the time we call out that skateboarding is moving closer to fruit booting? Give me a backside smith any day of the week.
It was only 2 weeks ago that Mastodon’s singer Brent Hinds featured in a hilarious restaurant advert and now, the internet has exploded in delight at the release of their new and Fragglerock-breaking video for Deathbound that is a must see!
Click for instant happiness, and death!

Bored for Life
Getting Bored rocks this week. See for yourself and get down South for life.
Element have welcomed back Nyjah Houston onto their pro roster today. To celebrate the occasion they have posted some fresh footage of the not-so-little ripper. It’s astonishing. What a surprise.
Here’s what Nyjah has to say about his return to the company that gave him his first pro board.
“I am really excited about being on Element and skating with the team. I want to thank my family and everyone who has supported me and my skateboarding. It is a new beginning, and I’m looking forward to the future.”
Memory Tapes has made a new video for the song ‘Today Is Our Life‘, a track cut from Dayve Hawk’s forthcoming second LP as well as the Love SIC Disco compilation available now from The Guardian. The mp3 can also be downloaded free from Gorilla Vs Bear.
You can watch the video for the track below, directed by non-profit filmmaker Jamie Harley.
