• Shintaro Hongo Putting His Stylish Stamp on Japan for LOLAS Hardware

  16-06-2023 20:10 via skateboarding.com
  
  You can't keep this kid out of the streets. It seems like every month or so, Shintaro has a new part out or at least footage in a new vid (See WKND's Jit and Tightbooth's latest). Super consistent with a great style and he's always finding new spots and ways to skate the streets out in Japan. Peep his latest effort for hardware brand from Australia/Japan, Lolas. It's been used before, but damn, that Sundays song goes well with some smooth street skating, don't it? Good times with the h

• All-Terrain: Skaters Fearlessly Barge Dirt Jump Track, Wallride A Tree (Clip)

  16-06-2023 17:39 via skateboarding.com
  
  This looks as fun as it does sketchy. No other way to put it. The ATV spirit is alive and well as John Worthington smashes through these dirt jumps with his monster truck set up at full speed. And that tree ride? Just think of it as an organic bonus! View this post on InstagramA post shared by John Worthington (@jworthit)
  It’s always rad when people set up these boards and venture into the mountains to explore terrain that would otherwise be unthought of to skate. We see the dirt jumps and

  16-06-2023 17:26 via skateboarding.com
  
  Animals, these guys! T Funk, Zach Allen and Brody Jacobson each have unique, outta control styles, and I’m saying that in the best way. It’s rad because you never know what you’re going to get with these maniacs, but you know it’s gonna smack you hard. From the streets to the TF, these dudes stay charging.

  It seems like there’s always some new, obscure obstacle set up at the Bakerboys park too.

• Admiring The Technique of Felipe Gustavo's Quick Flick (Video)

  16-06-2023 17:15 via skateboarding.com
  
  Three clips, each impressive as the other, and Felipe asks us which is our favorite. One, two or three?While it’s hard to choose, that’s hardly what’s important here. What I’m focused on is Felipe’s precision and impressively quick flick on each of these. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Felipe Gustavo (@fgustavoo)
  If you blink at the wrong time, you’ll literally miss the 360 flip on that first slide. That’s a heavy trick, especially on that l

• Grip It and Rip It with Trent McClung's New Video Part

  16-06-2023 16:00 via skateboarding.com
  
  Sure the first 20 seconds are obligatory "gripping your board" footage. But then Trent McClung just goes on a clipping-up spree for Mob Grip. First at Edison Park in Huntington Beach, which we highly recommend you visit if you're in the area, then on to the sun-drenched streets of SoCal. Ride along. The kit doesn't change, so this very well might be all in one day. That ledge spot looks dope. He battles a frontside bluntslide pop out for a while, but of course gets it. Then he hits a switch

This breakout part for Highwater Skateboards was filmed over the course of a year in and around the Bay Area.Just when you thought the SF spots were rinsed, Keith comes through with some unorthodox food for thought. Dolphin flips, underflips, and straight up no flips. 3rd and Army and Pier 7 ain't been hi

• Tony Hawk's "Ode To Tron" Promo From 2001 Is A Sight To See

  16-06-2023 03:02 via skateboarding.com
  
  Tony wrote, "Ode to Tron: 'I am Sci Fi' promo from 2001. My switch game is sick in the digital realm." Ha! It's funny in general, but in a nostalgic, fun kind of way. But yeah, they did mess up his stance. Just another classic, unknown relic from The Birdman, and as always it's a straight up gem. It's crazy to imagine how much of this stuff is just buried in boxes (or buried in the never-ending mess of the interwebs) waiting to be discovered. View this post on InstagramA post shared by

• Watch: The Vans Team and Quartersnacks Hit Argentina's Insane, Natural Skate Spots

  16-06-2023 00:52 via skateboarding.com
  
  If you've never been down to Argentina, put it on your short list of travel plans. When it's winter up here, it's summer down there. The food is amazing and affordable and the skate spots are mindblowing. You really won't want to come back. The Quartersnacks crew and the Vans team got together to finally make the trek down there (they had been planning since before Covid), and they weren't disappointed. Taking that team anywhere will definitely get you some sick clips and photos. Peep the w
