PLG Pierre Luc Gagnon And His Skateboard Mag Minute

July 12th, 2010 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

PLG Pierre Luc Gagnon And His Skateboard Mag Minute

If you have ever had the chance to watch Pierre Luc Gagnon aka PLG skate a vert ramp live, then you probably were rubbing your eyes or maybe just shaking your head about the incredible level of skateboarding PLG has reached. He does tricks in the vert which are for many of us hard enough to do in the streets. Enjoy Pierre’s Mag Minute and enjoy it a few more times – he’s got quite a few bangers in there!

P.S.: the audio track isn’t working in Germany so if you are having problems with it, head over to The Skateboard Mag websiite for the real thing.

Checking In With Bob Burnquist

Checking In With Bob Burnquist

Bob Burnquist is just a one-of-a-kind skateboarder, not that I really have to mention that but every time I come across a video showing what he’s up to, it’s basically beyond what I can imagine as skateboarding. Take a moment to catch up with Bob as he shows and tells a bit about what he has been up to. Yet again, the ramp tricks are in a different dimension – plain sick!

Oakley Vert Series 2010 - Battle at the Bay footage

I realized that I’ve been slacking heavily on my vert skills lately – I haven’t hit the vert ramp for over a month! And then on top of that I miss out on posting the news and footage from the Oakley Vert Series 2010 which just kicked off in Great Britain. Time to get my stuff together – dive in to catch up with me on the madness that went down this past weekend with the so strong vert riders representing Great Britain (and the mad Finn dude thrown in there as well…) – it’s getting quite insane!

Vert Skateboarding Flashback – Houston 1991

December 23rd, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young

This one is for all of you vert skaters out there – looking back in the past is always a fun thing to do, especially with skateboading as it has changed, been redefined and has attracted new skaters to ride the ever growing vert ramps besides the old school skaters. Here’s a bunch of videos from back in 1991 at the SUAS in Houston, Texas with Lance Mountain, Mike Frazier, Bod Boyle, Darren Menditto, Omar Hassan, Dave Le Roux, Remy Stratton, Tony Hawk, Bod Boyle, Darren Menditto, Omar Hassan, Remy Stratton, Buster Halterman, Chris Gentry, Eric Nash, Chris Miller and many others ripping it back when some of you guys out there didn’t even know how to spell skateboard

I just love watching these runs which aren’t packed with flip tricks and 540s (nothing against those tricks, but I just like a good mix!). There are three more videos after the jump, don’t miss them!

Vert Attack IV in Malmö Sweden – January 30th 2010

November 13th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

As the vert fever continues to rage in my body and mind, great news out of Sweden has been announced: the Vert Attack halfpipe contest series will continue in 2010 with the fourth annual contest being held January 30th at the Bryggeriet Skatepark with 1000 Euros up for grabs – the money is definitely not any reason for being their, I expect to see loads of vert skaters from all over Europe turning up!

Watch the action from last year’s event after the jump below – over 36 minutes of vert skating!

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!

Juergen Horrwarths Change Of Guard 2009

October 20th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young

Juergen Horrwarths Change Of Guard 2009

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.
