Thrashin Thursday Vol. 3

-Videos are starting to come in for the second annual Skate and Create and so far, it looks like its gonna be a doozy. First up is DVS with their submission, titled/themed "Wood". Truly dazzling.

If you have never heard of this series, I strongly recommend that you youtube "skate and create" and work your way through all of the entries from last years contest. It is one of the best things to happen to skateboarding since viva la bam went off the air.

-Crutchskate. If it were up to me, this would be called a cripflip to boardslide. Respect.



-Some next level dorkskating, courtesy of shred dudes Halldor and Eiki's collab blog

An excellent blog that also brought back some memories by digging up this gem


-One of the better installments of an excellent new series of new lakai commercials. Hilarious. Check out "Floating Camera" also.

-Skatebird. Sure why not.


-Thrasher mag was ripped by infamous rippers Urban Outfitters.




The OG thrasher one is on the top. But you already knew that right? A for effort guys. For more UO douchbaggery check out urban counterfeiters

-The year was 1978. 80's hair metal was about to rip out of the womb where it had been incubating in small clusters since the mid 70s. Dokken, Ratt, Whitesnake and probably a few more bands with ümlats and double consonants were born. Maiden had just recorded their first demo. Crüe was rising in popularity faster then the drug, swimming pool and vomit induced body count of their musical predicessors. And in Bloody olde England, people were fuckin' riding skateboards.


-On that note, I present the Skatar-


-Mullen still skates? Who knew. No offense but does anyone care?


And last but not least, check out the "Ollie Buster". Jump to around 1:34 to see how much this thing rules. And by rules, I mean sucks more shit then a metaphore for sucking shit that I can't even come up with.

Thrashin Thursdays, Vol. II

-Is it skate OR die or skate AND die?

Farrah Fawcett


MJ



Coincidence? I think not. It is the SAME EXACT SKATEBOARD. Cursed or conspiracy? Who's next?

-A weird chapter in skateboard history-

Caught Clean is a skateboarding video. It is also a juggling video. At times, it is a skateboarding and juggling video. At other times it is a juggling flaming torches while kickflipping on a bank video. Laban Pheidias directs his way to inventing a new sport combining skating and juggling. We like to call it, "skuggling".

-Interesting blog (company? art collective?) about art/high concept/gimmicky skateboards and skate related paraphenalia.
No Good skate blog



-Remember that spot in the Alcatraz level in THPS 4, right by where you have to jump onto the target thing in the water with bam? Here's the real deal.



-Ever wondered what it would be like to be a skateboard truck? find out HERE. A trucks eye view of a hot lil sesh

-The Tech Deck type toy of the future. Yeah, I want one. So what?



-Got some time to kill? Watch Mall Grab. It's great. I want to party with these dudes.

MALL GRAB from Daniel Evans on Vimeo.



-Tony Hawk skating in the White House

This was actually shot mid way through a game of skate. Obama won. Obv.

And I leave you with a classic skate part from one of the finest skateboard productions ever out to vhs. Louie Barletta in Man Down. Possibly the greatest video part of our generation.
