We approach our second recommended Worthy Skateboarding Source with great caution. Here’s why: 1. You can end up staying on The Chrome Ball Incident for so long that you’ll start relating everyday normal things such as showering, eating and breathing to skateboarding (nevermind assessing the skateability of local architecture) . 2. There’s something special...
‘Mindfield’ still a relatively new video and Anthony Van Engelen’s track is somewhat set aside from those it stands beside (Mikey Taylor’s Dinosaur Jr. and Jason Dill’s Animal Collective for instance).

We’re getting closer to #PrettySweet, if we get a video part from Brian Anderson that’s as great as what we got from ‘Yeah Right!’ we’ll be very surprised. Of course the skating is top notch and Corey Duffel says of Anderson when introducing this part for Thrasher’s ‘Classics': “BA is beast, he’s the sickest skateboarder...
We spoke to Matt Bennett – Toy Machine Pro and inventor of the Bennett grind – Enjoy How did you first get into skateboarding? What do you think you would be doing if you had never stuck with it? I got a Ninja Turtles skateboard for Christmas 1990. That just hung around...
The credits of a skateboarding film are after all, watched. Often glimpses dedication, trivia and lifestyle are found here. Mogwai’s track closes Emerica’s video perfectly as we watch Suski’s smoothly filmed line, Joey Poirez’s mini section, travel and let’s not forget as the song slowly fades we see what skateboarding can be – paying a...
