If you know the name Daewon Song, you know it stands for complete mastery of the skateboard. Street, rails, gaps, manuals, you name it, he's like top ninja of the trickwood. Add the ultimate hesher/tech skater Chris Haslan and a perfect miniramp,...
expand review and your in for a visual treat different to all skate vids. Daewon and Haslan rip this miniramp with tricks that combine a hybrid of street and stunt skating unlike anything else out there. Grinds behind a curtain(like a surfer in a pipeline), inventive setups, insane choreographed tricks, and solo parts that'll make your jaw fall. In fact, some of the tricks are so mindblowing, multiple rewinds were definitely in order. Runs approx. 20-25 min. plus some great bonus footage which features solo runs, and friends like Cooper Wilt and Lewis Marnell. Highly recommended. -C'mish
Everyone knows Pharrell can't skate, but that doesn't mean dude doesn't have enough pull to go hire a team of skaters and send them touring around the world! East coast, West coast, Midwest, Japan, Spain - all ripping the hot street skate...
expand review spots in fresh krispy BAPEsters. Honestly, I grew up skating looking up to Hawk & Jason Lee, so when I first saw this, I groaned. But after watching it, there's some serious ripping on here. Especially from that lil' gromit Jacob Walder. Keep an eye on that kid (reminds me of modern day Guy Mariano). Others skaters include Cato Williams, Jimmy Gorecki, Terry Kennedy and Kevin Booker. The entire DVD is filled to the brim with Pharrell and Neptunes beats, which I don't mind, but watch out for the occasional Pharrell soap box moment - yeeks! Special appearances by Nigo (BAPE), Chad Hugo, Teriyaki Boyz, Rob Dyrdek and more. Tons of tomfoolery involved. Approximately 75 minutes. -C'mish

expand review rawest street skating I've seen in a while. Features the likes of Lamar Hemmings, Darrell Stanton, Kevin Taylor, Jeremy Holmes, Nyjah Huston, Kellen James and many more. Don't know most of these guys (I'm real old school like Santa Cruz) but I sure as hell do now. This video has more rails, gaps and stairs than you can shake a stick at and the tricks are completely sickening. As you can guess by the name and the KMD "Black Bastards" cover, this is the first "minority" DVD with hardly any white dudes on here. This shit rules hard. Google for the trailer and get your face melted. -C'mish
Have you ever made a shitty movie or skate video with your friends? It's low budget and the acting or skating sucks balls, but you have so much fun and you even get to score it with your favorite music, Scorsese style....
expand review Basically this video is the best ever "bros just fucking around" video. It's got all the elements: bad filming, bad skating, credits that are longer than the video, and on and on. Threre is one crucial difference. Some of the skating in this is totally mind blowing. If you've been out of skating for a while, this is a must see. PJ Ladd's part is like skate gold. It's that raw shit you dream about, just some kid that's totally ill going for it with so much style. Ladd's done bigger and better tricks recently but nothing that has this kind of energy. If you're getting old and fat like me, this will make you cry for the days of just hanging out and skating, not worrying about bills, taxes and all that shit. I really can't stress how this video captures everything that's good about being young and skating and having fun. With parts from at-the-time soon-to-be pros PJ Ladd, Ryan Gallant and Jeremy Rodgers and stylish additional parts from their Boston crew, the skating is top notch, the music is great and Ladd hits with one of the best music choices for a part ever. I don't know, I just can't say enough how many times I've watched this and been totally entertained. When it came out it was in my DVD player for like 6 months and is still in constant rotation. A must own skate video, one of the best of the 00 decade. -Roctakon
Since the start of the huge Beautiful Losers show, the new folk revival of Margaret Kilgallen, Chris Johanssen, Clare Rojas, there has been an entire movement of skate culture and art culture merging. For many, the phenomenon may be confusing, but...
expand review seeing how skating is so visually oriented and how art is so expressive and challenging, the commonality is pretty evident. This book odes to the artists that helped the crossover and the ones being passed the torch. It covers over thirty of skateboarding's favorite artists including profiles on Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Joe Sorren, Jim Houser, Thomas Campbell, Thom Lessner, Mike Giant and many more. 128 pages, full color. -Cmish
Anyone yearning for a glimpse of skate culture at its purest, look no further - salvation is here! The book is called Disposable: A History of Skateboard Art, but anyone who knows skateboarding knows that the boards marked the era and they...
expand review were much more than just art. From the graphics on the boards, they made stickers, posters, shirts, logos, etc. Some even became personal tattoos! So the personal connection they had with its audience was a lasting one. They were images that got burned so hard into our subconscious skate minds that even a glimpse would remind you of the famous trick by that pro, unleash nostalgia of the era and any memories of you owning that board. So unless you were a total pussy and saved your graphic, it's likely you ended up thrashing your board within a week (hence the name Disposable). This made original boards very rare and now the nostalgia for those crude, raw, offensive, punk graphics are at an all time high. That's why this book couldn't be more timely. I know, my roommate Pinto is addicted to rebuilding vintage time specific decks down to the wheels (50+ boards). So, although the book is about art, the story gets much deeper. Artist Sean Cliver takes you through the history of it all like never before with 237 pages of full color photos, side notes, and best of all - personal stories from the pros and artists themselves. As we know, stark, shocking graphics are coming back with a fury (Mishka) but as the author suggests, "If there's any connection with skate culture and the mainstream, keep it in your head... I simply enjoy the graphics for what they are." Here's some of the contents: Companies: Powell, Santa Cruz, World Industries, Alva, Black Flag, Skull Skates, Shut, Hook-ups, etc... Skaters: McGill, Rodney Mullen, Cab, Mountain, Vallely, Theibaud, Jason Lee, Hawk, Roskopp, Miller, Klein, Randy Colvin, etc.. And Artists: Pushead, Jim Phillips, Wes Humpston, Andy Howell, Barry McGee, Chris Johansenn, etc... Recommended. -C'mish
Everyone knows that skateboarding and art go hand in hand. Seems like every skater takes pictures or designs, and every designer takes pictures and skates. This chunky book (an inch thick), put together by skater Dan Peterka (who apparently invented the crooked...
expand review grind) and Element Skateboards, explores that intersection without directly referencing skating. If you picked it up without know the background, you'd probably think it was cool photo book or design journal. With contributions from over 20 people in the skateworld periphery, this book is rich, diverse and mind-popping (think Quiet Life's Camera Club crossed with Hamburger Eyes and a cut and paste design book). 8.25" x 6.5" x 1". Softcover, a whopping 370 pages. -the mgmnt
It seems Element is finally done riding the Bam hype machine and is back to straight business with this new video. It's not like they went anywhere, they've become sort of NY Yankees of skate teams over the years. Nyjah Huston hits...
expand review leadoff, and I only have two words for this skate prodigy: "little freak!" His part would have been the finale if you went on pure difficulty. My other favorites include Tosh Townend who destroys everything he skates, Tony Tave who probably does the most stylish flips ever, the very original Brent Atchley, and the sunglass-sporting Darrell Stanton (why do black skaters always have the best style?). As for filming style, this is one of the best executed videos yet. The filming is super-professional, utilizing interesting POV and multiple angles. The title screens throughout the video are pure class (floating type!), and the soundtrack features very complimentary downtempo beats. No gimmicks here, just solid skating. Other skaters featured include: Chad Muska, Chad Tim Tim, Brent Atchley, Mike Vallely, Bam Margera, Mike Barker, Jimmy Lannon, Levi Brown, Dallas Rockvam, and Collin Provost. Special appearances by Josh Rio, Michael Mackrodt, Soichiro Nakajima, Bas Janssen, Bucky Lasek, Chris Senn, Jeremy Wray, Ray Barbee, Vanessa Torres, Kevin Terpening and Lacey Baker. All region. 80 minutes. -the mgmnt
