NYC SUBWAY SKATING
2012-02-07 16:19:00 While skateboarding in the New York City subway system may be illegal, it didn't stop SLAP Magazine and a couple of local rippers from shredding the hell out of the underground "taxi" and documenting it for a full feature dubbed Subway Skating. Peep the madness. All aboard!

2011-11-29 18:59:00 Brooklyn-based punk group, Cerebral Ballzy, pays homage to the 80's skate scene with their latest video On The Run.

AMBITION SNOWSKATES
2011-11-19 05:50:00 As Winter nears we thought it'd be cool to highlight the gnarly hybrid sport of snowskating. That's right, skateboarding on snow! What was once revered as dead-end pastime with no future, has recently gained some rather cool momentum thanks to Ambition Snowskates and their premiere video, Skrill Clinton. We don't care how many people sneer at the thought of snowskating, this right here is pretty amazing!

SHANGHAI 5: SKATEBOARDING IN CHINA
2011-01-01 03:53:00 With all the recent buzz surrounding China and its eminent role in global economics, it might seem a bit of a curve-ball to focus on a burgeoning counter-culture scene. But that's exactly what videographer, Charles Lanceplaine, tackles in his 23-minute skateboard short, Shanghai 5. The film takes a close look at the social context of the relatively "new" scene and gives insight into the lives of participating Chinese youth--a dichotomy between traditional China and emerging pop-culture!

NYC SUPREME
2010-10-12 19:27:00 Cult-classic skateboard brand, Supreme, recently unveiled their latest collaboration with Nike SB. The '94 is the latest shoe added to the SB (skateboard) roster. Derived mostly from 90's New York City and basketball style and swag, the '94 shines as a ode to the timelessness of a true East-Coast skate shoe that existed before actual manufactured skate shoes. From balling to kick-pushing, dope!

Skateboarding With Chinese Characteristics
2008-06-23 03:59:00 Very interesting and insightful article on skateboarding in China, dude. The article is written by college junior, Jonathan Chow, and is entitled, "Skateboarding With Chinese Characteristics." Its money quote and why the article itself is important is as follows: "Forget soybeans, aircrafts, and pharmaceuticals. Popular culture is America's most influential export." It's tagline is that "As extreme sports emerge in China, skateboarding leads the way." BTW, am I the only person over 25 who both watches and loves Rob & Big? More than once, someone from Russia has told me that despite all the anti-American propaganda to which they were constantly subjected, they never hated the United States because they liked our music so much. I have a very close friend (the guy who sent me to Papua New Guinea, actually) from Sakhalin Island, Russia, who taught himself English by listening to US and British Rock & Roll on Japanese radio stations. On a barely related note (I cannot resist ...

Slap Magazine Television and Skateboarding Article
2008-05-30 19:10:00 The impact of television on skateboarding has been debated to death by a lot of people.

If you don't like mtv's version of skateboarding, don't watch it.Bam, Rob, and Sheckler are interviewed in the process of this article from Slap Magazine concerning the television and skateboarding issue, and if you did not pick up the print issue, they have been kind enough to put the whole thing online for you and your cheapskate friends.Check out our sponsors, and keep us skating - Free Shipping on all orders $25 ...

2007 Year In Photos: Skateboarding
2008-03-07 01:36:00 It might be March 2008, but it's never too late to look back on the year that was 2007. 2007 ushered in a lot of growth in the skateboarding community, including two new MTV reality shows about skateboarding, featuring professional skateboarders. This of course doesn't include the MTV show Scarred which features skateboarding bails and injuries in each program that they broadcast. Moreover, the year featured some amazing photography. Hemmy.net compiled a good photo essay of the best photos that came through the lenses of photographers, and while some of them maybe questionable, there was one that stood out to me and the rest of the world in regards to something that we love. Something universal, something pure, something that doesn't need a team or competitive mentality, that something is: skateboarding.

Skateboarding
2008-02-26 15:09:00 When I was a kid, I used to love movies with extreme sports on it like skateboarding, bicycling, roller blades or any breathtaking sports with romantic scene of course. What really interest me most is the skateboarding. Im always amaze on how this street kids play with their skateboards in the neighborhood on how they balance on a rail and would jump so high with it. It is really fun to watch for me. I wonder if JJ would love to have one of these toys one day. I have check on this website warehouseskateboards.com and that they have skateboard complete with cool designs, like this one that I snag from their website. Isnt that cool? You can make your own design too if you want. Kids would surely love this, specially my JJ.Our Love Would Never Fade... Steve & Emz |
