There’s something special about watching and re-watching skate videos from years ago. Styles shift and we find ourselves laughing at (or perhaps longing for and looking to recreate) what once was. Technology improves and we wonder why we didn’t think of this-or-that sooner. Visions of what skateboarding is somehow shift and align with “what’s right”, …
Pushing. As skateboarders, we all do it. Some of us aren’t too fond of it (Can’t I just GO?), and others are super gung-ho and training like it’s the Tour de France. Push races — like the Golden Gate Park Push Race — come in to play in an interesting manner: The less-than-stoked individuals find …
A few weeks back, just before the new year, we decided to get the Wheelbase Team together for a little “family outing.” Liam Morgan, McLovin’, Amanda Powell, Pete Eubank, Justin Preston, Marcus Bandy, Ryan Evans, and Dubes all piled in the Resource Distribution van, along with two mini kegs of Stone Brewery’s “Rumination” as well as …
Since the beginning, skateboarding and filming have gone together like peanut butter & jelly, like two peas in a pod, like Laurel & Hardy, like Mike and Ike, like Nutella and more Nutella, or (if you’re in to that sort of thing) soap and water. “I get it, dude. Now tell me something I don’t …
The coming of a new year means recaps of the year gone by. This also equates to stacks of skateboarding clips: most awesome, some badness & the unfortunately ugly. Caliber Truck Co. has just released their “End of the World Tour” recap for the year 2012 AD and, fortunately (though not surprisingly), it is most …
Earlier this month, well over two hundred skateboarders from across the globe either hopped on planes or piled into various other people-movers, and converged on one of the longest standing skateboard parks in the world: Jacksonville, Florida’s Kona Skatepark. Each and every one of these skaters traveled to Kona for one reason and one reason …
It’s not every day that our favorite recreational activity gets attention from the slightly-more-mainstream media, let alone some attention in a positive light that doesn’t involve “chillboarding” or sidewalk surfing. It has come to our attention that the Huffington Post, a liberal/progressive content aggregator, has taken an interest in the world of downhill skateboarding in …
Nothing like a solid raw run clip to get your heart pumping! Bonus points if it’s captured somewhere you don’t find yourself too often. This clip snags that bonus: It’s Guajataka, y’all! Homegirl Katie Neilsen sent this our way to help get us even more stoked for our upcoming trip to Puerto Rico! (As if …
Bruno y Toti are at it again, this time with a compilation of some truly sick clips dating all the way back to 2011. As expected, this duo’s clip-stack features some snazzy moves; most of which I’m not even certain exist just yet. Most importantly, these dudes are having fun while pushing their limits. (Ice …
The title says it all, folks! (Well, most of it anyway…) S-One Helmets have hit the lengthyboarding industry head-on with V1 of their Longboarding Team. The first three slippery sliders to grace the roster are Peter Eubank, Nic Escamilla and Ari Chamasmany. These fellas have been heavy in the left coast scene for a while …

Exploration, skateboarding and shenanigans? You know we’re down! Landyachtz sent their crew to Orca’s Island this past summer with no plan but to explore what the island has to offer and to document the happenings in the form of this “Skate & Explore” edit. [Spoiler: Turns out this place is off the chain, equipped with …
It’s been several months since we’ve seen a video from the crew at Rider Approved Designs, but that doesn’t mean they’ve been slacking! This bunch of dudes has been skating all the hills within reach and stacking clips like Pogs over the past year and have finally dropped the slammer in the form of a …
For those not “in the know”, the Whistler Longboard Festival is an annual event presented by Arbor Skateboards held in Middle Earth British Columbia at the aptly-named Whistler Sliding Centre. As you view the recently released stack of clips from the event’s cable cam, be sure to set the video to 720p and turn your headphones up to …
Nothing like starting off the new year with a new sponsor! James “The American Dream” Kelly — a NorCal native — is digging his roots a little deeper to join forces with the crew at Caliber Truck Co. We sense good things to come of this! Perhaps Caliber will take it upon themselves to make yet another a shralpnasty video for …
I’m a crusty old man, for sure, but I’m cool with it—the adventures I’ve experienced are worth every arthritic joint and flabby encumbrance acquired along the way. It’s super strange though to think back on how long I’ve been addicted to the same damn activity of skateboarding. Sometimes when I’m kicking back after a road …
At a time when many of us in the northern hemisphere find ourselves caught in a dilemma between the urge to skate and the comforts of a cozy living room, it’s nice to get a glimpse of the fun the summer sun can bring. The Arbor Skateboards team has been back at it with their …
