Some contests seem to have just gone past my noticing in the past few years. I do have to admit that i have been looking out for vert and bowl contests more. The Simpel Session contest series has been around for seven years and 2008 will start out with a bang from January 25th through the 27th in Tallinn, Estonia as a long list of the world’s top street skaters (and BMX riders) arrive to show their skills on the brand new contest park especially designed by Nate Wessel and it will be built by Sessionramps.

Quiksilver integrates skateable architecture in the community
November 28th, 2007 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Skating, walking, riding – however you choose to get through a city, you can quite often find yourself staring at different pieces of architecture, stairways, rails, benches etc. and thinking of how you would try a certain trick on it. These objects are already integrated in the world around us – we take them for granted even though we are happy to see them there, waiting for us to skate them. I received a link from an Italian web blog about how Quilsilver integrated advertising and real skateable objects into the architecture in Copenhagen. Take a look inside at this cool idea… Read more…
Team Pain hits Antwerpen, Belgium with new concrete skatepark!
November 27th, 2007 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
This is a dream come true, nothing less than that for the skaters in Antwerpen, Belgium and the rest of Europe to be honest! Team Pain came, built and conquered the earth they put their hands and machines on with a mixture of metal and concrete formed as usual incredibly. There’s a fullpipe with a closed end at this place! Maybe everybody reading this says ’so what’ but after being around skateboards and skating myself for 30 years I’ll see one for the first time face to face really soon!!! Jump inside for more pictures straight from Team Pain. Read more…
Rick McCrank gets new éS shoe and stars in a podcast
November 27th, 2007 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Rick McCrank’s new éS pro model shoe, the Avers has received another new look and this time through a collaboration with Girl Skateboards which presents the Girl logo on the side panel and a repeated éS and Girl logo pattern on the footbed. The entire shoe was said to be inspired by his good friend and graffiti artist, Lee Matasi (RIP). It’s a good looking shoe (well talk about being impersonal here!) if you like to brownish/orange look. The Avers is also available 4 other color series.
And Rick isn’t just making/promoting/selling shoes…he does skate and he can talk as well. What am I blabbering about? Check it right here… Read more…
