Journey with us as we jettison our latest Weekly Wrap-Up news collection for Feb 13 - 26, 2016 straight outta the cockpit of our shredworthy skate vessel (wheelbasemag.com to be exact).
This right here is another one of those “two-for-ones”, as we were on a filming mission last week and were unable to get enough web-time to seal the deal one last week’s collection. But do not fret! This double-whammy of shred goodness is sure to light your lit and spark your donkey with more stoke than a naked switch raw-run down Tuna or a handstand Megaramp 720 revert. Facts.
Let’s start things off with our buddy and Muir Skate rider Jasper Ohlson as he shreds some of his favorite spots in San Diego. Skate everything!
Next up we have some quality survival tips for riding downhill in neighborhoods and in urban areas via Thrillstream of Vancouver, Canada.
Our favorite family-owned skate brand, Street Plant Brand, just dropped this video featuring the “Brave New World” demo by the Bones Brigade in the summer of 1987 in Point Pleasant, NJ. OGs include: Tommy Guerrero, Jim Theibaud Mike Vallely, and Mike McGill.
James Kelly dropped another new Raw Run for the Blood Orange crew. Get raw and watch it.
Did you see that new-new from Yeehaw Gear? It’s dipped, and the “Grim” artwork on this new crewneck sweatshirt was created by none other than Wheelbase Fam artist Kris Haro. Swoop one or swoop two—it’s up to you:
Gullwing Truck Co. just dropped this little Duane Peters video ripping the iconic Baldy Pipe as well as some pools with Shaun Ross. Classic shralping.
Bustin Boards very own Toti eats hills and wheels for breakfast. Def check out this phenomenally fast run in Spain.
Carhartt just released this killer documentary about skateboarding in Mongolia back in 2004 and it’s called “Mongolian Tyres”. Directed by Henrik Edelbo and featuring the skateboarding of Pontus Alv of Sweden, Scott Bourne, of France, Quentin de Briey of Spain, Tom Derichs of Germany, Julian Dykmans of Belgium, Vincent Gootzen of The Netherlands, Geoffrey van Hove of Belgium, Hugo Liard of France, Chris Pfanner of Austria, Kenny Reed of USA, and Muki Rüstig of Austria. Watch it and get inspired to travel and shred!
Speaking of traveling around and skating shit, the European Roots team just dropped their annual flashback video featuring their team riders on their skate trips from last year.
Brett Ciabattini has good style and doesn’t dress like a chump. We like that. Especially because he goes hard on his skertboard. Here’s a rad S1 video of him bombing hills in Colombia.
