Clash of the Crews Jams/Teams So Far

Posted by Rob, Friday, January 27, 2012 11:10 PM

Each Crew gets five skaters plus one optional old guy. As of Friday night at 8pm when I put this together, all the teams were not completely assembled and here, but here's what we have so far. It's going to be a ripping day of southeast shop team skating.

Ride & Relax

Ben Gore is doing the streets of San Francisco justice. Ben's always got a good eye for spots and unique lines. I also must warn you, before you press play on this clip make sure your skateboard is nearby. You will instantly feel the need to jump on your board after watching this.

Throw Digital Elbows

Posted by Rob, Friday, January 27, 2012 11:16 AM

Last time I hung out with Quim Cardona, it was years ago where we were both illegally in Cuba sipping a latte and talking about some far out subjects while he played his piano flute for random strangers. I have one of his boards here and I just threw it at you. Up for Digital Product Toss is this Quim Cardona Organika deck. You have until Monday morning to get in on this one. Simply leave a clever and/or funny comment at this link and you're in.
Update: Quim just hit me up after seeing this post and let me know about a skate event he's hosting next month in Jersey.

Lifted Research Session

Posted by D.B., Thursday, January 26, 2012 8:15 AM

The LRG team got rounded up together at an amazing skate plaza. LRG has one of the most unique teams in skateboarding, with hesh to fresh, and young to old. It's cool watching Felipe Gustavo skate right next to Tommy Sandoval. Or the new kids, Tom Asta and Carlos Ribeiro, killing it alongside OG's like Chico Brenes and Rob G.

Throwback Tuesdays

Posted by D.B., Tuesday, January 24, 2012 6:04 PM

Zered Basset's part in Vicious Cycle is one of the rawest parts to come out of the northeast. Clocking in at right over eight minutes, it's full of gnarly tricks done at gnarlier spots. There's moments where Zered just rifles off five tricks all at one spot, just shutting it down. The switch skills in this part are at their peak. Even the kid who posted this on YouTube had to add Zered's stance in the description of the video. I'm assuming it's because kids were probably so confused when this came out. Just watch below, it's basically one long hammer of a video part.

Brady's a Boss

Posted by D.B., Monday, January 23, 2012 10:36 PM

Danny Brady is always a pleasure to watch, and his new Lakai part doesn't disappoint. He's got some new tricks I've never seen him do before, in this case cab blunt to back tail. His footage always seems timeless, just like his old school Marlboro duffel bag.

Converse Overseas

Posted by D.B., Monday, January 23, 2012 7:21 PM

The Converse team has a new video from their trip to Germany and Italy. The whole team rips a bunch of never before seen spots. Julian Davidson and Kenny Anderson stand out the most though. I'm just waiting to see all the footage that Kenny is saving for the Chocolate video. I'm sure it's going to be more than epic. Make sure you watch this edit all the way to the end, especially if you're interested in watching Ethan Fowler have a freestyle shouting battle with an old man.
