New year and it’s tradeshow time again around the globe. Just this weekend the BRIGHT show is slowly but surely closing up (and again, I missed it!!!! Will I ever make it to Frankfurt? Who knows…) and yes, you get the news about what went down there.
Across the planet the brand new Crossroads show took place while across town – in San Diego – the ASR trade show was on as well but this year several large companies pulled out of the ASR and the Crossroads show attracted a bunch of skaters to take part in …yeah, a contest again. The Crossroads Best Trick contest with a $7,000 dollar purse and a lot of fun involved. Here are some pics, a video of some of the action and the results of the day. A lot more pictures after the jump, so hit the link as well!

DVS Skate – Freaks & Greeks Tour
September 4th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
The DVS skate team will be landing in Greece Spetember 15th, 2008 and along for the ride will be pros Kerry Getz and Chico Brenes along with international riders Paul Shier, Mark Baines, and Flo Mirtain. The crew will be stopping along the way to visit some of Greece’s skateshops for demos and signings.
According to the news clip I received they could be up for checking out some of the ancient sites spread throughout the country…where ever they land and skate, it will most definitely be good to see some skating from a country which does not get a lot of attention – damn, I’m scolding myself.

DVS Dudes Dudes Dudes video free and online
May 12th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
The latest video release to make some major waves is DVS’s “Dudes, Dudes, Dudes” video which is yet another great free video which is viewable now either directly from the DVS site (click here to watch it – I had some problems with the load time and I have a fast connection), through YouTube (embedded right here but of course not with the good quality), at your local skate shop and soon in Europe along with either the Sidewalk Skateboard mag or Dogway Magazine.
Packed with enough tricks to make you want to leave the spot in front of your monitor real soon, I’d suggest watching it all first. It’s more than worth it! I grabbed the four parts off the net for you all to watch but I’d suggest trying to get the real thing.
