Pools story or Ryan Sheckler interview?

Strange title huh? Yeah, I didn’t know how else I could combine two articles I found thanks to Skatedaily.net which are both good reads. The first one is titled “Pools” written by Lance Dawes which goes through the history of pool riding and integrates a bunch of quotes from well-known skaters dealing with the topic. Nice [...]

Theotis Beasley at the Berrics skatepark

Time to return to The Berric’s, Steve Berra’s and Eric Koston’s skatepark ( if you didn’t know yet ) and they have been busy as usual. Well what do you expect actually, them not skating their private park?? Of course not. Their latest recruit, Theotis Beasley, has got some smart footage up on the site [...]

Take a peek at ÜBER Skateboards and Rockers Hardware

Last week I hooked up with some of my mates over at the Hamburger headquarters of ÜBER Skateboards and Rockers Hardware for a look around their place of business and to dig my prying eyes deeper into what is going on with this fast growing company. Basically the roots of these companies come from Manuel Weschenbach [...]

2008 Skateboard Deck review from Transworld

I have always been really interested in checking out the newest skateboard products hitting the market and these days it is getting harder and harder to keep up-to-date with the many different companies grabbing for a piece of the skateboard market pie. Transworld Business has put together a very nice gallery of skateboard decks coming out [...]

Featured Photographer Piper

I know Piper from a long time back when I used to live in the small German border town of Konstanz, all the way down in the south of Germany, right on the border to Switzerland. When I first moved there from Miami, Florida back in 1985, I was shocked coming from a large city [...]

Cody McEntire and 4 minutes of video

Sunday afternoon, I’m a bit beat still so I’m cruising through the Interweb and I came across this damn good short video featuring Cody McEntire. Let me be honest here: I’m more of a vert/pool skater but I must have had my earphones on cause this guy is damn good. Check out his riding right [...]

Bastien Salabanzi speaks with Europeskate

A couple of weeks ago I got in contact with the guys behind Jart Skateboards, mostly being a bit curious about what is going on with Mr Bastien Salabanzi, a personality in skateboarding with incredible board control and an array of tricks in his pocket that most of us will never even get close to [...]

Featured Photographer Toño

Well, this is the only name he gave me - Toño - but that sure doesn’t make a difference with his photography and editing skills. Nice eye candy from this Spanish photographer! Who are you? Tell us a little bit about yourself (age, what you do in life, where you live) My name is Toño, my age [...]

Ed Templeton’s blog and upcoming Deformer book

Reading, writing, breathing and consuming skateboarding daily really allows me to find out a lot more about the subject than is seen at the first glimpse. Of course, this is nothing new as with any subject matter, the more you deal with it, the more knowledge you acquire (or should hopefully). Not that a lot [...]
