Heroin premiered their new am video, Bath Salts in LA last night. By all accounts the packed house thought it was a splendid flick with great skating. Biggest news on the night was that Fos has turned Tony Karr pro for the brand so expect to see his name etched on Heroin wood for years to come. Sick skateboarder, well deserved.
Look out for British premiere news coming soon, we hear there’s a good chance the first screening will be held in Manchester.
Congrats to Tom Knox who went pro for Isle Skateboards this weekend at the Vase premiere. It’s well deserved and great to see another British skater with his name etched onto a deck. From left to right, the Isle Curiosities deck is 8.5″, Paint Pigment is 8.25″, Totem graphic is 8.375″ and Tom’s new Push Pull deck comes in at 8.125″.
These four new pro models are about to hit your local skate shop so let them know you want one in advance. Vase will be available once it premiere’s worldwide and by all accounts from this weekend’s London screening will be worth the wait.
Get the teas on for the new full length Blind promo, IOU. 23 minutes of radness from UK ripper Sam Beckett alongside Kevin Romar, Sewa, TJ Rogers, Morgan Smith, Filipe Ortiz and Cody McEntire.

Looks like Epicly Later’d had made a return with Chima Ferguson in the spotlight this time. This was recorded whilst the Propeller video was being put to tape when Chima was living with Dustin Dollin. Enjoy.

Brad McClain is next up on The Berrics video feature, In Transition and he smashes Solvang Skatepark to pieces alongside the dulcet tones of Johnny Cash. This is one of the best park edits you will see all year. Worth your vote?
Ever visited Cuba? I saw 2 skaters on supermarket set ups there on my visit 15 years back but not much else. Their country is beautiful, stuck in time, preserved by the people who make it such a special place.
In this new edit by Ivan Olita for Nowness, Yojani Perez Rivera takes you round his local spots in the burbs of Havana and gives you an insight into what he feels skateboarding brings to his life.
What were you doing when you were 11 years old? The future looks bright for CJ Collins.
Stockwell skatepark has played host to so many crews over the decades, not all of them dummies either. Ross Brunton’s new collage from Brixton Beach sums up what’s been going on down there of late with the Blast Crew and many more. It’s a touching edit.
Follow Friends of Stockwell Skatepark to keep up to date with the developments on the development proposals. This park has to stay forever.
Pedro Barros cools down in his own backyard in Brazil with this sick new edit proving once again that the 20 year old is one of the best out there. The future for this bloke is absolutely terrifying. Incredible skateboarder.
If you expected Phil Zwijsen to sit around feeling sorry for himself when he’s injured then think again. His downtime only meant two things had to happen. Firstly to recuperate and secondly to get creative with others.
Enjoy Jacky with footage of Alex Raeymaekers, Axel Cruysberghs, Bram Decleen, Hans, Claessens, Jarne Verbruggen, Maarten De Ryck and Yeelen Moens who all feature in this black and white, 17 minute promo, shot in Belgium.
