Nike SB hit the road on their Viking Tour, hitting up spots around the world. While I’m not the biggest fan of Nike SB, even I can’t deny that they are giving back to skateboarding on a global basis, far more than the average skateboarding company, and are at least showcasing skateboarding in a way that is not “selling out”…at least most of the time. Check out this video and then go skate.
Strange Notes, distributor of free dvd’s, has released a video of Steve Reeves, killing it at parks, and showcasing that the next generation of pro’s are not just going to be style and no substance.
Steve Berra’s skate park has been featured on Rob & Big, and through his own website where teams come in and destroy the place. The most famous one that I remember was in fact the time Jason Lee got on a board and tore the place up. Here’s a little video in a series of videos that goes inside the Berrics skate park, Steve Berra and skateboarding in general.
Once again the skateboarding team at Birdhouse release another bit of footage to make sure you remember that The Birdman is not just sitting around drinking latte’s all day. Here is some slick skateboarding, done Birdhouse style.
For a great collection of skateboarding videos, head over to the skateaz.com archives. I came over a video that I completely forgot about, its called On The Friggidee. The only word to describe the short film is epic. It has amazing instrumentals and great filming by Cameron Harper. Watch it and you won’t be sorry you did.
Blind skateboards recently sent their European crew to kill it in China. Here’s the footage of their insane trip, full of tricks, and awesome skate footage. You owe it a look, then go hit your city up for some skateboarding action.
Where are you living?
I live in Newbury Park… pretty much in the middle of nowhere!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Agoura. It’s about 10min north of the valley. I started skating there, then moved to N.P. when I was 16.
What do you miss about your hometown? What don’t you miss?
Well if were talking about Agoura… I don’t miss anything. That place sucks! Newbury has it’s ups and downs. It’s cool because all my friends live out
here, but other then that it’s pretty standard.
Favorite place to get away from it all?
I’m still looking for that place!
Do you do any other sports?
Surf and Snowboard… I’m going for the XXX award this year at the Xgames!
What kind of kid were you in school?
I was actually a pretty good kid. I never really got into trouble in school. I just wanted to skate. I was a total skate rat. It was a little different back then though because skating wasn’t really popular yet. So I wasn’t cool in high school and I didn’t really have a ton of friends. We were kind of just outcast. We just didn’t get a shit about anything but skating!
What’s your typical day like?
My day is pretty much the same everyday. I wake up around 11am, meet up with some people and go skate. I usually get home around 10pm and just chill.
How many airports have you been to in the last 3 months?
Jeeze… maybe 15!
What’s your favorite part about traveling?
My favorite part about traveling is skating new spots. I seriously base everything off of skating. If there’s nothing to skate in that city then I write that city off. I get soo burnt out on skating the same spots every single day, so it’s so nice going to skate new spots.
What’s your family like? Do they skate?
My family’s pretty athletic. My dad and my sister both surf. My mom kinda just chills. Does the whole mom thing. And my little brother skates. He’s really good!!!
What are your favorite websites?
To tell you the truth, I’m not a huge internet person. I like being out and doing shit ya know! But if I am on the internet it’s either for myspace or The Berrics!
Top 3 hottest babes?
khiera knitley or how ever you spell her name. Angolina jolie, and lets go with Beyonce
What was your hardest slam ever?
I flew off of a motorcycle going about 45mph. That put me out for a couple months!
Do you play video games? What are your favorite games?
I don’t really play video games, but one of my friends brought nintendo wii over. That stupid thing is pretty fun! We were playing tennis for like 5 hours.
Top 5 Favorite Videos
Mouse, Photosynthesis, Feedback, The Reason, Modus Operandi
What kind of car do you drive?
I have a Acura Tl and a Honda Civic. The Honda is a totally skate car. I drive that thing everyday.
Favorite fast food?
In & Out
Who was your first sponsor and how did you get hooked up?
My first sponsor was Duffs shoes. I just made sponsor me tapes and sent em out. They were the first to call me back.
DVS is going to be giving away a free streaming skate video next month and here’s just a quick promo to get everyone hyped! Sure the name Dudes Dudes Dudes, isn’t exactly the best name dvs could have chosen, but the footage that has been springing up is top notch. Could it top Fully Flared? That’s what everyone is waiting for….seriously. (Someone to top Lakai)
Just when you thought this section was only videos, here’s some fresh air for you skateboard art collectors; Matt & Mark Owen recently collaborated with Zoo York to design six new skateboard decks for the skate company’s “Artist Series” and these are looking interesting. Sure they aren’t the City Series from Chocolate, or the Photo series from Stereo Skateboards, but come on…these are still worth checking out.
The series takes inspiration from literature in the realms of “Urban” jungle, with a hint of NYC for good measure. Zoo York has definitely been doing quite well in recent times, with a lot of focus on limited edition skateboards and artist collaborations. Here’s the decks, enjoy….
