It has been a fun-filled and wild week packed tight with ups-and-downs and all sorts of interesting skate shenanigans. Well, we just keep on pushing through to the other side like our dawg Jim Morrison, and here’s our latest Weekly Wrap-Up for July 18 through July 24, 2015.
First off in video news, this week we have a really fun recap of the Austrian freeride event, Alpenraushen, featuring some funny drunk dudes narrating at the beginning and some fun skating after that.
Our buddy Perropro of Spain is a busy guy lately. Here is the first of two of his videos this week that got our stoke provoked. This vid is from Bustin Boards and featurs Toti Bicicleta on their new Shrike deck.
Kyle Ramsey of NoCoast just dropped this edit of Matt Ewalt on one of his many local runs in the state of Colorado. Peep it.
Jenkem Magazine also dropped this crazy vid called WTF? The Goober. Please watch it in full.
Ever wanted to know what it’d be like if some Brazilians made a Brazilian Top Ten Longboard Fails video, with commentary? The wait is over. Ha ha!
Here’s that second Perropro video. This one’s for the Orangatang crew and features the flatground/freestle/footwork skating of Sam Holding.

In EVENT NEWS, We have a whole lot of good reminders so you can get registered this weekend and have fun with other like-minded skaters at an event near you this summer: Northwesterners def check out Cathlamet Corral on August 21-23, 2015! Here’s last year’s video from that event. East Coasters def hit up the Central Mass 6 event on August 7-9, 2015. Colorado-ers & Utah-ites make sure to hit Pikes Peak Downhill on Sept 11 &12, 2015. Lone Star Staters and Panhandlers do not miss The Patriot Race (and other cool stuff) going on in Austin, Texas on Labor Day weekend (Sept 4-6, 2015). There are a lot more where this came from, but that’s all we have time for in event news.

In Wheelbase Magazine specific news: First off, we were purchased earlier this week by by multi billion dollar corporation known as ALLBYEE (All Lugubriously Lumbering Bigness Yum Eat Everything!) for ten trillion US dollars, Stoked! Anyway, nothing will change, except we have made it “huge” from skateboarding. Ha ha! Just kidding. But for seriously we did release a couple cool articles this week and you should check them out: Keep On Tuckin: Mount Shasta & Action Now: Why I Ride Long Boards. Also, stay tuned for a bunch more new new next week.
We only have a couple Wheelbase Magazine Print Edition: Issue Three copies left, so grab one asap before they are gone. Better yet, gap all three issues and feel the full-rotation of Wheelbase printed stoke: Issue Two and Issue One available here in limited supply! Thank you in advance for all the support!
Have a great weekend, y’all! SHREDLOVE!
