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 currently. He is one good tech skater, packing out loads of different flip, manual, 360 trick in the book and more on top with some of the most perfect and non-sketchy landings I’ve seen. A kid to watch - yet again. Ummmm, that’s probably why he’s the recruit of the day, right?

Find out more about Theotis in this interview over on the Active Ride Shop website and click on the picture below to watch his slick video part at The Berrics….and while you are at the site, check out the many other videos. Steve Berra is still ripping it very well is all I can say.

DC Shoes European tour and a vert slam

Ouch! Not the upcoming DC Shoes European tour that is but I’ll get to the “ouch” business in a second. The DC tour kicks off on July 12th with the DC team being split up into two groups, one taking on North Europe and the other South Europe. Stops will be made in Oslo, London, Stuttgart, Zürich, Turin und Malaga before both buses meet up again for a final demo and party in Paris, France.

The entire action will be covered with video footage and photgraphs on www.dcskateboarding.tv so try to make one of the demos or watch the site for all of the details. No news yet on exactly who’s going to be on board but I’ll find out!

Oh yeah, here’s a short video of a friend of Rob Dyrdek who never skated before. After checking out the flat, he decided what the fuck, I’ll drop the halfpipe….well, take a look, he “checked” out the flat again. He definitely took home a nice hipper with him

Stop searching for videos - Skateboardcinema.com

Skateboardcinema.com

I was just sifting through my emails as I have a tendency to forget about some good ones which I actually wanted to answer to and bring at least a short post.

Johannes from Skateboardcinema.com contacted me asking if I could mention the site. Well Johannes, sure thing. I think the site is cool, it has loads of new and up-to-date video links so it saves me time searching and lets me watch. That’s what I want when I have a website - less work, more fun! Here’s the description of the site from the horse’s mouth:

“For some years skateboard companies have started to put out video footage for free on their websites. No matter if their riders go on tour, film a complete full length video or take part in a contest - all the outcome goes online. Nowadays it is easier to name the brands that don’t upload videos than naming the companies that put video clips online. With tons of videos you might lose track of them.
At SkateboardCinema.Com you will stay up-to-date about the latest and most interesting video clips and movies online. For your pleasure we have collected the videos of your favourite skateboard brands and we will direct you to the clips. We have just launched our page - run and done by two skateboarders - with over 700 legal videos, sorted into clips, full length and podcast videos. Enjoy Skateboarding”
