Sorry dear readers for all the lazy ass video links but I got some good shit in the works behind the scenes. Stay tuned

Hippie Jump Hallelujah, etc...

New Richie Jackson footy from ipath. If you watch one skate thing today, make it be this. Trust me. The closer trick is potentially in the top 5 craziest stunts ever stunted on a skateboard.
For more next level super creative skating, check out the work of: Colin Fiske, Louie Barletta, Chris Haslem, Dave Vey, William Spencer, and Todd Falcon for starters.

RANDOM POST FILLER BONUS STUFF-

-Here we have a police report detailing Shawn White's drunken shenanigans and subsequent charge of second degree criminal tampering at some mountain in CO.

-HERE is a sneak peek of the majority of Burton's 2010 line. Items of note: New "V Rocker" camber system introduced, a private stock R. Crumb artist collab and the uninc series gets dropped for new "Easy Livin" series, designed to integrate seamlessly with the rampant gypster uprising. No word on whether dreamcatcher or feather is included. In other related news, dropped and bitter Uninc riders (DCP, JP Solberg, Romain de Marchi) start "YES" snowboards, get SIA booth with stripper.

And here we have Brad Pitt making fun of Lakai/Girl pro Mike Carroll. Seriously.
Almost as good as when Owen Wilson "showed up" Mike Carroll in Yeah Right.


And here is a shitty viral ad for the shitty new GI joe movie. With skateboarding.

Castaway, shred style

Former obscure swiss big mountain pro Xavier Rosset

spent 300 days completely alone on an equally obscure, remote, uninhabited tropical island. By choice. His only luggage was the clothes he was wearing, a swiss army knife, machete and a video camera (solar powered?). Says Xavier of his only companion on the island, a wee piglit he captured:

"I couldn't eat it because there wasn't enough meat so I took it with me and she stayed with me for three months...She was exactly like a dog. She was a very good friend for me but I didn't talk to her like (Tom Hanks) talked to the volleyball in the movie Castaway." (insert deliverance reference here)

Respect. You sir, are a badass. Documentary coming soon.

First ever rodeo on a surfboard. I suppose in this situation grabbing truckdriver is really your only option. Respect.

And a little older but still badass, surfboard kickflip


And sure, why not, a monster backflip on a jet ski. Happy summer.

Great Moments in Drug Smuggling

"Mexico's navy has seized more than a ton of cocaine stuffed inside frozen sharks, as drug gangs under military pressure go to greater lengths to conceal narcotics bound for the United States."

Frozen Sharks. They were literally smuggling over a TON of Mexico's finest inside FROZEN SHARKS. When I was a wee lad I would perform various cryogenics experiments, using slugs, various insects, worms, and whatever else was readily accessible in or around my backyard and would fit into the freezer. The only thing that ever really survived were the wasps, and I eventually figured out through trial and error that after about 15-20 mins in the freezer, I would end up with a formerly savage and ferocious yellow jacket at my complete and total mercy for approximately 5 minutes, after which it would groggily begin twitching and then take flight and try to stab me in the eye. Turns out wasps do not give a good god damn about science.I had an unlimited supply of subjects, as our back porch had a severe infestation. My experimentations included occasionally tying floss around the abdomens and holding the string as they slowly awoke to realize that they had become my little captives. Holding a piece of floss tied around an angry P.O.W. wasp set on kill with nothing to lose is a great way to spend an evening. I taught myself how to remove the stingers and incapacitate the jaw while the wasps were still unconscious, the final product being an adorable harmless, domesticated pet wasp. Turns out they make great pets and are excellent for traumatizing my brother. The relevance of all this to Encyclopedia Jones and the Case of the Mexican Frozen Shark Smugglers, is this hypothetical scenario. Say, these sharks had not been previously killed, and were instead sedated and hastily stuffed to the gills with excessive amounts of high grade narcotics and then flash frozen and loaded on the ship. Say the refrigeration unit failed, during a storm, or because of faulty wiring or whatever else. The Sharks start to thaw. They groggily awake and start flopping about a bit. Then, they realize that they have been packed with more cocaine then five peak era Motley Crue's combined. Fuck snakes on a plane, this is STRUNG THE FUCK OUT MEXICAN SHARKS ON A BOAT.

Questionable Ideas, Part 1

Who knew crest spinbrushes could skate, in addition to making awesome prison style tattoo guns? I wanna party with this toothbrush.

And first and foremost, Iron Maiden cares about dental hygine. Eddie says "Brush your teeth kids!"

What's cooler then fingerboarding? digital fingerboarding.

That actually looks like it kind of rules.

Love biking, more then just a friend and want the world to know?


Red Bull's snowscrapers ain't got nothin on these.



Surfs up



Oh, didn't you hear about the oakley X lego collab?



Fear and Loathing, the home game!



Yo dawg, I heard you like skateboard trucks, so I put trucks in your trucks so you can skate while you skate



Gwar wheels
Fuck 20 inch rims, I want these motherfuckers.

or these

And he still manages to get the grab. Good form.


Tarantula trucks. Yep.
Chinstrap beard not included.

Hammertime

Can't touch this Duh nuh nuh nuh

A questionable variation on a familiar theme

Introducing "streetboarding".

I am going to withold judgement on this until travis rice takes it to the megaramp. If this is what it takes for a double cork on a skateboard to happen, so be it.

Loopity Loop

Throughout history, humans have wanted to make shit go around loops. But fuck history man, lets live in the now. Technology has allowed us to send shit around loops that our ancient ancestors could have only dreamed of in their wildest dinosaur meat induced food comas. Lets take a deeper look into this fascinating and retarded chapter of mankind.

The first time it was introduced to the mainstream, (rollercoasters, matchbox cars and twisty straws aside) was probably when bob burnquist started fucking around with one back when bam still had street cred and the x games were a joke. Bob did it first, he did it switch, he took the top off, he did it by pumping a full pipe,
he did it in on the sun, blah blah blah whatever. So basically, nose manny'ing it and doing it in a hand stand aside, its played to death as far as skateboarding is concerned. But has the rest of the world been sitting idly aside, living vicariously through Bob? Fuck no. Errr'bodys tryin to git sum.

minibike

I've been informed this was actually somewhere just outside of govy, but no conformation.

Sketchy backyard rollercoaster

Another car





waterslide (bogus)


Techdeck



Jumprope


That's probably enough for now. Other loops of interest that I couldn't track down include: Some dudes made a huge snow loop in an old straightjacket movie and someone looped it (Jeff Anderson maybe?) and then it collapsed on someone and they got pretty jacked up. I saw a video of a kid almost making it all the way around on a swing set but getting jacked up. Homer did one on a tricycle in the simpsons, I seen a froot booter do one I think, etc whatever. Fuck loops.

Things people still need to do with loopity loops: Run around one, rollerskates, razor scooter, pogo stick, make a loop that is just a rail and do it on soap shoes while being on fire and drinking mountain dew, etc.

How to sell your soul for fun and profit

Tony Hawk has not one but two "bigspin" rollercoasters opening across the country. Also a "Tony Hawk's Halfpipe Waterslide" is already open.

Rollercoasters are the new video games apparently. Oh wait, he also has THIS coming out.

No word on whether it will be Skate 2 compatible. Regardless of how much it may or may not suck, it can't be worse then that piece of shit Shawn White wii game. Make monaymonay Make monay MoNAY

This will make your heart explode.

Over 13 red bulls worth of caffeine in 2 ounces. Literally pure liquid caffeine. It's only a matter of time before some young entrepreneur discovers this and makes a killing selling vials of this on the playground during 6th grade recess. Or before I start doing that.


**UPDATE-


Never one to be outdone, Red Bull Cola was found to contain trace amounts of cocaine. BEST PUBLICITY EVER. Your move purecaf. Coming soon, "Red Bull Energy Nose Powder"
Too strung out from snorting lines of dried up redbull cola to shut your jittery bloodshot energy eyes? Introducing "Drank:The Anti Energy Drink."
Slow your roll indeed.

*EDIT-"Health Canada issued a warning about Hardcore Energize Bullet liquid energy drink... The reason for the recall was because one vial was found to have been subject to tampering, Health Canada said...A utility knife blade was found in one vial of each product, the FDA said."

Skateboarding needs more obstacle courses.

-Have you ever seen that show with the ridiculous obstacle course? Ninja Challenge or something rad like that? This is that but on skateboards.
Reminds me of this epicly later'd with Haslem. He builds an awesome obstacle course/track thing that winds all around the cheese and crackers warehouse.



Go Skate.

Who would have thought that all it takes to make pipe fun to watch is to make it way slower? 1000fps.

How has no one used this for porn yet? In other snowboard video technology breakthroughs/gimmickry the first 3d snowboard movie in history is coming out courtesy of futuristic scanners Factor Films and lookin mighty sweet.

In case anyone forgot their 3d glasses, here is an alternate 2D (Aka "soon to be old school") teaser. The casting looks excellent.

Thanks to high quality euro shred blog http://broblog.snowbroader.eu/ for the heads up on this development.

Speaking of gimmickry/retrofuturism, I present to you a snowboard deck that was sent back from the year A693L-D to destroy the reputation of anyone caught paying almost $2000 for one. Meet "The Whip"

PS.Goddamn it, I actually really want to ride that thing. This weird fucker not so much-



So lets say you took the your sweet sweet codaboard out for some hotlaps, trying to pick up some futurebabez and you happened catch an edge on a turbo double daffy twister spread 9000 and happened to break your neck and became paralyzed from the waist down. Would you really want to get back on board by bombing around the mountain superman style, head first with no real way to stop short of combining your face and a tree? If you answered yes, have I got an invention for you

surfs up doodz.

But I digress. Back to the subject at hand, novelty filmmaking technologies. I love em. Lets speak a moment on the topic of 3d movies. I am all for the comeback 3d is making in mainstream cinema. Don't let jonas brothers 3d taint your opinion of what could be a revolution in passive entertainment. Tim Burton is all over this shit and has like 3 3d movies coming out including a live action remake of alice in wonderland with Johnny Depp as the mad hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the red queen. Pass the large mushroom.

Pogo A Go-Go

And the award for least sympathy deserved goes to...

I'm not gonna to lie, Although he may be borderline retarded, I want to party with that dude.

LETS GET RAD

Fuck the internet, I think this is the greatest accomplishment of our time. And it was in Vermont. Obviously.


This man is an inspiration. Not enough people in the world follow through with pursuing the things they drew in textbooks during middle school algebra.
