Chris Pfanner has always been one of my favs. Longtime Vans rider, Antihero pro, one of the best Team Managers (I'm just assuming) in the game—the dude rips.
Episode two features Brooklyn native Alyasha Owerka-Moore recounting his formative years at the Brooklyn Banks in the 80s and 90s. It was a more than a meet-up spot or a skate spot you'd be at all day—it was also the location for a lot of ideas coming together, starting companies, and making lifelong friends.
As you probably saw, this past June 21, Go Skateboarding Day was back in a major way. The Brooklyn Banks saw a crowd akin to an event nearly 20 years ago, Vancouver had a major, records were broken in Palm Springs, and much more.
New Balance Numeric just hit us with a fresh olive/black colorway of Franky Villani’s signature 417 model—and it looks like an instant classic, if you ask me.
adidas Skateboarding just dropped a crisp new colorway of the Busenitz in Crystal White that's "inspired by sport" and "built for speed." The OG Busenitz pro model is a fan favorite and this classic colorway is a great addition to his already impressive catalog of kicks.
Zero just dropped some "Tough Cuts" from Brandon Burleigh's heavy pro part from last year and they're absolutely brutal. Of course they are. It's Burleigh we're talking about here.
Sometimes you just gotta dig 30-plus years into your archive, laugh at what in the world you were thinking, and... do it again. Real Skateboards recently
Fallen Footwear dropped a special tribute shoe in honor of the late James Hardy—one of skateboarding’s most genuine and powerful individuals—and to celebrate
Plan B dropped Lazer Crawford's raw clips from his bangin' part in Joslin & Lazer, and it's pretty rad to see all the blood, sweat and effort that went into making this hard-hitting part what it was. We knew a ton of these clips couldn't have come easily, but seeing it first hand is pretty wild.
The buzz has been building for this one. New full-length Hockey video? Yeah, we're in. Backed by a classic hop-in-the-van-and-traverse-the-mid-west tour?
Can we agree that Nikolai Piombo video parts are sort of becoming a thing of their own? The music. The technical talent. The pinchiest of all pinches. He's definitely in a lane of his own, and it's refreshing to see.
Clyde Singleton did it. Rick Howard is still ripping. Skateboarding has matured in a way we never expected—our favorite pros, our heros, are still street skating, and tough, at age 50! Ohio's own Kristian Svitak is the latest to hit floor five and come out swinging.
Boston skateboarding is alive and well in Free Game—a ripping, gritty, no-nonsense full-length from longtime lensman, Tim Savage. At just under 30 minutes, the video features full parts from Taylor Clark, Jack Morris, Brian Reid and Will Mazzari, along with a bangin' friends section.
Get ready for some rawness. Jesse Lindloff takes us along for a day of backyard pool hunting—grimy, spontaneous, and one-hundred percent rad. “What you see is what you get,” he mentions.
Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk can hold his own with woods and tools. Hawk's father was a handyman, and the 57-year-old icon says he has built "many, many
