The Big Push 2009 – All Videos Right Here
November 22nd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Some comments have been coming in, asking just about if I have been sleeping while the Big Push 2009 has been all over the media. Easy answer – no, I wasn’t sleeping 
I’ve been reading the Sidewalk Skateboard Mag, watching videos and just enjoying it while thinking for myself: who am I going to vote for. Six teams involved, the judges points are in and now it’s up to us to help decide which team wins fame and fortune. What was the difference to last year?
a) Each team was allocated a specific geographic area – hopefully meaning less repeated spots and a more comprehensive sessioning of the country.
b) Each team were set regional specific tasks – i.e. everyone doing certain tricks at certain spots, set concrete parks to visit and film a line at, obscure trick list to fill out and, most importantly NBD challenges at one iconic spot per area.
c) This year the winner will be chosen 50% through online voting and 50% through points garnered through completion of set tasks.
That’s all folks – voting will close on December 10th 2009 and for all of those who don’t have a copy of the latest Sidewalk Skateboard Magazine, I’ve added all of the videos in here (thanks to Mpora.com) – 6 videos to choose from. The link to the voting page is after all of the videos, click on the following link to watch all of the videos!
ETNIES Hates Breast Cancer!
October 20th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Doing something good with skateboarding for a worthwhile cause is always a message I will proudly push with Europeskate. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. Etnies has put together a product package to help support the Boarding for Breast Cancer organization, here’s the official press release – support it if you can!
“Hate is a strong word, but etnies means it when it comes to the fight against breast cancer. Together etnies and Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), a non-profit, youth-based breast cancer awareness organization, have teamed up for the fourth year to release a special-edition girl’s collection during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month. In stores now, for each item sold, a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to fund breast cancer awareness and educational programs.
“As a brand that encourages a healthy and active lifestyle for all girls, it is essential for us to take part in organizations that advocate the importance of breast cancer awareness, education, prevention and fun all at the same time,” said Jeff Taylor, etnies brand marketing manager.”
etnies has combated its hate with product designed with love, offering a special-edition girl’s Perry Mid sneaker and tee shirt that will be sold online and at select stores nationwide to support the cause. The color pink is the recognized color for breast cancer awareness. Both the B4BC tee shirt and sneaker come in bold shades of pink and feature a heart ribbon graphic that represent the fight and hope for all those involved in the prevention of breast cancer.

Slapped on the title Sangria Nights and here you go, enjoy!
The Big Push 2009
September 14th, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
Just making sure that one of most traditional 5 day contests in the UK is getting started tomorrow, September 15th 2009 and it runs until September 19th 2009. Here’s the “official” announcement from Sidewalk Skateboard Magazine which has taken over as the host as Document Magazine had to close shop:
Now in its fifth year, the Big Push is a well-established and highly anticipated part of the UK skateboard calendar. Created by Percy Dean of Document magazine, the Big Push aims to pit the premium skateboard teams in the country against one another on a whistle-stop tour of the hottest and most iconic skateboard destinations that the UK has to offer.
“This year, the Big Push sees the reins being taken by the UK’s largest skateboard publication Sidewalk and aims to be bigger and better than ever before. With teams from Vans, Nike SB, DC, Adidas, Etnies and Team Shiner, and pre-assigned area specific tasks for each team, 2009 should see the most varied and explosive Big Push yet.”
