• Ishod Wair's Raw 'GODSPEED' Clips Prove He's Simply Built Different

  10-05-2024 21:38 via skateboarding.com
  
  Davonte Jolly recently hopped on YouTube to share just under 20 minutes of raw Ishod Wair clips from the GODSPEED era, and let me just say, they're absolutely bonkers. I mean, we all know Ishod is built different... but a little reminder like this never hurts. Settle in and press play. I personally love raw clips. It gives us an extra little peek-a-boo look inside these heavy sessions. And really, it offers up a little more of the skater's personality all the same. Seeing how cool and calm

  Lakai's new collaboration with their friends at Cuba Skate (a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Havana, Cuba) is available now and to hype it up, they sent James Capps, Vincent Alvarez, and Cody Chapman out to rip the streets of Havana and hang with the locals. Take a look: The spots they skate are epic. The soundtrack is on point. The vibes are high! Looks to me like these dudes had a great time out there. And the fact that they all mixe

Plus... getting the nod from Mr. Ed Templeton is nothing to take lightly. It's a big deal having your name on a Toy Machine board! Congrats, Georgia!View this post on Insta

• Robert Neal, Ish Cepeda and Alex Midler Hit the Streets of Hong Kong in Davonte Jolly's New Video

  09-05-2024 22:28 via skateboarding.com
  
  Hong Kong clearly has spots for days and Robert Neal, Ish Cepeda and Alex Midler recently got a taste of the terrain themselves in Davonte Jolly's video, 'From Hong Kong With Love'. Looks like these dudes had a good time (on and off their boards). Peep the clip below!The flatbar spot that Midler skates is an absolute bucket list spot. Anytime I see footage there I'm instantly jealous. I mean, I wouldn't be able to skate it the same way, but even just seeing it in real life would be unreal.

• 'Maka Lassi Bridge Life' Video Tells the Story of Atlanta's Admirable DIY

  09-05-2024 17:53 via skateboarding.com
  
  'Maka Lassi Bridge Life' tells the story of one Atlanta DIY that was sadly destroyed by the city without any notice. This spot was a place to call their own—away from the crowded local skateparks—and and seeing it turn from a concept to a reality is super rad and pretty inspiring all the same. The video is bound to fuel your DIY spirit one way or another, and although it's absolutely devastating that the city came in and destroyed this amazing spot—and all the hard work th

• Where Has Taylor Smith Been? New Clips Surface Along With Commentary From T-Spliff

  09-05-2024 16:45 via skateboarding.com
  
  At one time, Taylor Smith (aka T-Spliff) was a household name just like Riley Hawk and Rowan Zorilla—two of the many respected pros he grew up skating with—but at one point, he sort of disappeared for a while. With that much natural talent, I've always assumed that Taylor could leave his board in the closet for years and still pick up right where he left off. And although that's not technically the case, he did unfortunately lose his sponsors a few years back, forcing him to rev

• Daniel Wheatley Teases New Video 'Blanket' With a Cast of Heavy Hitters

  08-05-2024 19:30 via skateboarding.com
  
  Daniel Wheatley recently shared a teaser for his upcoming video, Blanket and it looks to me like it has an absolutely stacked lineup, to say the least. It was actually pretty funny (and clever) that he hit us with all those names at the beginning of the clip... only to say, "...all have been really busy!" Nick Michel, Reynolds, Jerry Hsu, Manchild... geez! But in fairness, he follows it up with, "But, we definitely got..." and that list is still just as impressive in its own right. If you'r

  Slave is certainly one of those brands who have stayed one-hundred percent true to their roots since Day 1. And it just so happens that Day 1 was actually 17 years ago, if you can believe it or not. I remember when they first hit the skate world like it was yesterday, and in my opinion, they've never missed. So, to celebrate their 17th birthday, Slave hit us with a new graphic—and once again, they nailed it. Take a look:View this post on InstagramA post shared by $LAVE Skateboards (@slaves
