Yeah, well. here it is. Honestly I didn’t listen to very much of it. I was so sick of this by the time I got to editing it. Basically, Ponch spends the episode trying to convince the kids they should get off the street and skate someplace safe. Eventually they end up taking the kids […]
Crust Productions has coverage of the Benton County Skateboard Alliance Gnar-B-Q fundraiser. Check it out after the jump.
Man, that kid looks stoked. This is called the GX Skate. I stared at these things in the store for about ten minutes trying to figure out how they worked and what they would do. Then I saw the video and all made sense, until it didn’t make sense after all. Turns out these things […]
I went to my hometown in Michigan on July10th and hooked up with my old friend, David Scot Campbell. He is by far the biggest skate influence in my life. In Michigan in 1986 he was doing stuff you would see in California skate magazines with little or no live example. He has weathered all […]

Inset: An amusing fake Salba workout video. Good concept, a little sloppy on the follow through. Larger: Skating the wildfire pools of California with Salba. The first quarter is setup, but they get to the pool eventually. Watch them both after the jump. – Thanks to ColinWalshRules for the tip.
Here’s the entire clip that is the source of the frame grab that was used as the Shot of the Week at the beginning of the month. some people grouse about using a video grab, and normally I would agree, but I really liked this shot. Apparently so did Bryce, because it ran simultaneously over […]
It’s always amazing to see what the vert pros can do. Have you ever seen that triple stack they do with two skaters and a bicyclist in the Boom Boom Huck Jam? Still, the Invert on Andrecht about 45 seconds into this video over at Shred or Die is jaw-dropping. Check it out after the […]
There is some insane footwork in this video. Street skating, straight up freestyle, and several points in between. For instance, the guy doing the handstand fingerflip in the shot above actually ollied on to the top of that pole to get there. Think Natas spin without the spin, and then a departure. I guess kids […]
