Hella’wood Full Length Video by Chris Thiessen
October 23rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Hella’wood is an 18-minute long skateboard movie by Chris Thiessen filmed with a Sony VX-1000 video camera and put together in Atlanta, Georgia in the summer of 2009. I’m no expert on video filming so maybe somebody else can tell us how the effects – if any – were put over the film. I like it, the film has a good flow to it and makes the tricks look like fun. It’s as easy as that for me!
Featuring Kris Markovich, Rhett Freeman, Dallas Rockvam, Ryan Fitch, Candler Woods, and many more.

Vert Attack 3 – Fläsk TV Documentary Clip
October 23rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
If you haven’t noticed yet, I admit that I tend to try and add in news/videos/whatever about vert and bowl riding a bit more than the usual street clips – just personal preference and it always gets my blood cooking for more when I see where vert skating is headed.
For the past three years, the skateboard city of Malmö in Sweden has rounded up vert skaters from around Europe to let the world see that vert skating is very much alive. Fläsk TV recently put their short documentary of the Vert Attack III from January 2009 online – here it is, making me hungry for more!

Europeskate Pic Of The Day October 22nd 2009
October 22nd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
My mate Piper (Pipeshots.com) from Konstanz, Germany is down with skating on all types of terrain and knows how to capture skaters in action on film in a very fine fashion as well.
He was recently traveling around in the Basque region of Spain and he hooked up with Txus (the owner of Zut Skateparks who had just finished his latest pool construction project in Sondika – close to Bilbao. The pool coping had just been set and they got the maiden ride in this clove-shaped pool which has the same form as the renowned Turf pool.
Photo set-up: Nikon fm3a, used the available light, 5,6 aperture and Kodak Ektar 100 film
Antiz Skateboards team visits the Bastard Bowl
October 21st, 2009 / 2 Comments » / by Jonathan Young
I’ve written a few posts in the past about the great idea the Bastard Clothing people had of building a wooden bowl ABOVE their store – and here’s another video showing the ANTIZ Skateboards team – especialy Samu Karvonen – enjoying a good session indoors. I’m checking the flight prices to see if I can afford it. My wife is cool, maybe it will work in November?

The online photography book is going to be big…really big! But that’s fine with me as I love to have a lot of good photos to flip through and connecting with so many good photographers/skaters is loads of fun.
The latest Pic Of The Day comes from Erik J. Gustafson (check out his Flickr account here…) featuring a night time pole jam by taken with a Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. Simple as that…enjoy it!
Juergen Horrwarths Change Of Guard 2009
October 20th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Juergen Horrwarth is currently THE vert representation for Germany in the world of high flying skateboarders. Recently he set up the Change Of Guard 2009 event which goal was to get a group of vert skaters from around Germany together in the Berlin skatepark with one of Germany’s largest vert ramps for a weekend of exchanging trick ideas, learning new tricks and basically having a blast (pardon the pun!).
A great idea to support vert riders which allowed these skaters to be in the same session with guys like Jürgen himself, Renton Miller, Sandro Dias, Sam Bosworth and Sam Beckett.
Rumble in Ramona 2 vert video madness
October 20th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Put together a good looking ramp, a bunch of core vert skaters, live music, dancing women, booze and what do you get? A damn fun weekend or just Rumble in Ramona 2 which shows that skateboarding does still have roots and you don’t need a big stadium to show it. This is my idea of a good session and the lucky skaters still have great weather!
Lincoln Ueda was announced the winner and with those airs, it’s no wonder…
