Quiksilver And Transworld Skateboarding The Program Part 2
December 11th, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
The Quiksilver / Transworld Skateboarding “The Program” video series continues with part 2 featuring skating from Christian Hosoi, Tony Hawk, Omar Hassan, Justin Brock, David Clark, Kyle Leeper, and Austyn Gillette. This time around the mountain and wave logo gets some transitions and a bank. Justin Brock wins for me with a trick at the end plus a frontside stalefish in the tightest transition.
Quiksilver And Transworld Skateboarding The Program Part 1
December 5th, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine and Quiksilver got together to film the Quiksilver skate team at a unique location with the Quiksilver logo built as the obstacle to skate and edged with concrete. The end result looks a bit like the TWS Skate & Create videos, just a lot less went into the construction. Alex Olson, Omar Hassan, Reese Forbes, Justin Brock, David Clark, Kyle Leeper, Austyn Gillette, and Danny Garcia took up the opportunity to shred it with every slide, ollie and manuel possible. Enjoy the smooth ride in the first part of three videos entitled The Program.

The Race to S.K.A.T.E video contest with is running on the Shred or Die web platform (sponsored by Quiksilver) took off last Friday, March 6th 2009 with Kyle Leeper putting down 5 tricks, starting really easy and packing in – probably for most of you out there – some harder but still tricks can be landed. Check out the video and test your skills. I’ll be working on it as well 
Quiksilvers Race to SKATE video contest
March 4th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Starting this Friday, March 6th 2009, Quiksilver and the Shred or Die website are collaborating to bring everybody with a video camera, access to the internet and of course the necessary skills the “Race to S.K.A.T.E.” contest. Here’s what it’s all about…little hint: the following pro skaters are involved…Kyle Leeper, Danny Garcia, Reese Forbes, Alex Olson and Tony Hawk!
Quiksilver will upload a video of a different Quiksilver pro doing five tricks. Your job is to film yourself doing those same five tricks earning yourself one letter per trick spelling S.K.A.T.E.
Upload your video to Shred or Die with the title “Race To S.K.A.T.E.” The first five skaters each week to successfully do this will win a prize from Quiksilver and ShredOrDie.com!
Rules of the Race to S.K.A.T.E.
1. Tricks can be done all at once (in a line) or separately, but all 5 tricks must be in one video upload.
2.Tricks must be done exactly the same as the pro trick; a backside turn in the trick must be done backside for the skater stance, if the pro is goofy and you are regular you must turn the same rotation for your stance.
3.Tricks must be landed cleanly; land the trick and ride away, no toe drag, no hands down on ground to keep balance.
And what can you win?

Skateboarding time-warps back to the 80’s
December 7th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Not all of the skate news has to be about another street competition, another huge gap jump, another mega-industry sponsored, sold out arena filled with families who would usually go watch a baseball game. And that’s good that once and a while a good idea still comes through and turns to reality.
So what the heck am I rambling on about? This past Friday and Saturday, December 5th/6th 2008, the Quiksilver All Day All 80s Vert Challenge took place in Huntington Beach, California which had a bunch of old vert skaters meet up and ride on 80’s boards AND a typical vert ramp built in 80s style. Now I bet a lot of the people reading and coming back to the Europeskate site have not grown up riding on boards which all had different shapes, which were a lot wider, which had real tails, rail guards and a bunch of other accessories which just are not needed / wanted anymore.
Just like Tony Hawk himself says, it was a lot harder to ride these boards and do the tricks in the ramps back then. I won’t say I miss it now, but it was a lot of fun and it’s good to see thes pro riders getting together to relive the “good old times”. I’ll put up the results once I get them…
Swedish Pirate Cup 2008 starts today
July 4th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Sweden is really getting a lot of coverage lately and right on time I found out about the annual Pirate Cup which is starting today with it’s first stop way up north in a town called Örnsköldsvik. Just to get your geography knowledge up to notch, have a look where this place is:
It’s a ten stop cup event with the finals taking place at the Stockholm skatepark some time in October, the date wasn’t set yet. The whole event is sponsored by Pirate Skateboards, Quiksilver and Adio Footwear and if I picked the info out correctly I think the first place spot gets you a sponsorship with some or all of these event sponsors…not bad indeed!
Get all of the information you need from these guys as I won’t try any more Swedish translating…
