These dudes have skated across the entire US, I think Canada, definitely South America, and maybe Mongolia—who knows? This time around though; Adam, Paul, and Aaron skate across Africa’s Morocco. To most, skating across an entire country might seem a bit counter-intuitive on a number of levels, but these dudes get their rocks off on …
Check out our latest Wheelbase Product Review for the Loaded Fattail:
Agenda President, Aaron Levant, just announced that there will be a “longboard skateboard segment” introduced at the upcoming Agenda trade show to be held in Long Beach, CA on January 5, 6, 2012. Some of the longboard brands slated to attend:
The Brazilians are on some next-level shit right now. They are setting the standard, yet again, for sliding skateboards down hills. This video from Fernando Yuppie, featuring a recent Brazilian slide jam, is proof that the Brazilians are killing-it and pushing hard-wheel sliding further than it’s ever been taken before. Watch this video, try to …
“A sheer rad occurrence rules!” When I read that sentence this morning, a cluster of words I found hidden in the aging pages of a 1993 issue of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, I was taken aback. I had to read it a few more times in order to register its full implication. Yeah, I know, it’s …
So here’s a Fresh new Sunset Sliders edit of the shredding that went down at the second annual Menlo Park Skate Jam held a few weeks back. Also, we have a few words from the video’s editor and Sunset Sliders brotha-man, Doug York:
The Floridian skaters are really making their presence felt this year. Andrew Mercado of Gullwing Trucks went out there to shred and has been telling us about how rad the Florida scene is ever since. Also, Bustin Boards rider, Will Royce, has definitely been makin’ moves in the downhill race circuit as well. Hell yeah …
So here’s a shot of the premier issue of the Skateboarder’s Journal quarterly print magazine. We are very excited to see that Wheelbase columnist, Peter Grant Eubank, made the cover! And that our editor, Marcus Bandy, shot the photo. Congrats guys! The publisher of The Skateboarders Journal, Jack Smith, told us that the magazine is …
The Arbor team recently headed up into the Mountains to do a little R&R, some R&D, and most definitely some shredding. Here is the first episode of their “Get Elevated Tour” video. “Rad dudes” plus “sweet filming” equals “watch this bad boy video now”.
The concrete jungle that is New York City has been a hotbed of skateboarding for a long time now. Many shredders have taken on the endless miles of concrete, asphalt, and iron in order to forge their individual Paths of Rad. Countless numbers have weaved in and out of its traffic—auto, human, and otherwise—so as …
Hello Gnar-Ghouls and Shred-Goblins, Are you sick and tired of the same old boring Halloween filled with broken dreams and melted candy corn? Well then, drop that busted pillowcase, pick up your shredsled, and get some treats for tricking at this year’s Halloween Slide Jam 2011.
While lurking hard in New York City for the Broadway Bomb, we had the opportunity to meet and hang out with so many new and inspiring skaters. We also had the chance to kick-it with some of our East Coast homies that we don’t get to see that often. The Davenport brothers (Travis & Brian), …
Like Hansel, “Landyachtz is so hot right now. Landyachtz.” This new Landyachtz video, Eh Team Episode 19: Get In The Van, is a must-see for sure. You wanna raise your stoke-o-meter, watch this video. You wanna view the whole Eh Team killing in, watch this video twice. You wanna experience the epitome of shredtasticness, watch …
Local events are always bitchin’ because it’s all about the community building. Now, we don’t want to sound like some “hugs-not-drugs” d-bags, but we’re serious. You can go ahead and spend heaps of cash throwing a strategically marketed hype-fest, but it will never compare to the local crew of skateboarders getting together and throwing a …
A few of our homies in the Texas skate community are throwing a jammy-jam event later this month. They sent over this flier and the following info about what’s gonna go down. We think they have since changed the location, so make sure to check out there Facebook event page (click here) to confirm that …
Mr. Cody Shea just sent us (and when I say “just” I mean a week ago. Sorry dudes.) the third and final installment of the Five Mile Documentary. If you haven’t seen the first two click here: Part One & Part Two. As we said before, these homies got serious Heart and have made shit …
If you are a skateboarder you probably rock through shoes faster than the band Kiss rocks through face makeup, so getting the right shoe for your specific need is critical. There are all kinds of radical footwear out there that cater to skateboarders and provide the synapse you need to connect you to your shredstick. …
England’s Huck Magazine is one of our favorite magazines over here at Wheelbase. The reason we like ’em so much is because they are not scared to run content that others wont touch. They do not fear getting a bit sociological, political, or philosophical. Basically, they don’t dumb-it-down like many other mags. Over the years, …
Jimmy Riha is a Wheelbase homie no doubt—dude rips and is always down—stoked to see him getting some much-deserved coverage. Enjoy!
NorCal style means a lot to me. It has shaped the way I ride and think today. Summed up in a few words it is: smooth, simple, and stand-up. I remember watching Rizzo, Duran, and Sakamoto bomb some hills right when I started skating. My mind was blown, nothing looked kooky, nothing was forced. Fluid, …
Hello all, The Wheelbase crew will be in NYC, and that general vicinity, from Oct 5th through the 12th. We’ll be lurking hard and shredding harder during our stay, and one of the events we’ll be attending is this one right here. Earthwing rippa, Steve Kong, sent us over this info detailing the event happenings. …
