MORE SSKATEBOARDING!

of skate videos and videos of that sort... here are some of my favorite parts of all time. in no particular order... but i might put jerry hsu's double length part in Back of Suck as number 1, the guy's bag of tricks is endless... not one sketched out trick... all top notch and impeccable style. smooth as butter, damn asians are good at everything. 2 great song choices as well.

Enjoi Bag of Suck: Jerry Hsu


again from bag of suck... just a really fun section to watch. love the song... and when the team starts trains of tricks or doing tricks with perfect symmetry together.



one of my fav surf vids.... SPROUT

this video covers the globe with riders of all shapes ... longboarders, tow surfers, fish and retro boarders, bodyboarders, bodysurfers, everything. beautiful film


okay it is always fun to see a friend making it

mikey taylor


and his part in DVS skate more... his brother matty and friend blake davis each have tricks in it which is pretty sick.. plus there is some tricks done at places in newbury like sequoia..


ooookkkay sorry but steve berra's part and daewon songs are unreal too.. just too good to pass up.



i think that is all.. haha..

skate and create

this is one of the most impressive things i have seen come from skateboarding in a long time.

basically 4 teams get to do whatever they want to a wherehouse and shoot... well i guess a promo or some commercials? anyways... the teams were globe, dvs, osiris, and emerica.

osiris sucked.
globe was okay.
emerica does some pretty cool stuff with mirrors ...
but dvs definitely takes the cake.
when it comes to cinematography, lighting, soundtrack choice, innovation in set design, as in ramp and rail setups as well as trick innovation, the others cannot compete... i also think dvs takes the cake when it comes to talent from any team and i am proud to know some of those people... check out torrey pudwill from simi 2:55 in the video below... just blows my mind i dont even know what to call that trick.... the only thing that i have seen that compares to this series is Lakai's intro to their latest video Fully Flared... anyways check it out.

i love skateboarding and had forgotten how much i love it. i really want to get back into it. especially skate vids, and surf, snowboard, bodyboarding videos. nothing gets me more amped on life... well there is a million things but these are some of my favorites. . enjoy.

oh yah. i finally decided what to do with all my photos from europe.
bri and billy had the insanely good idea to turn them into a coffee table book. and i think it is GREAT idea. i have some great shots and i really do think it would turn out great.
