Brandon Westgate Venture Ad w/ Interview

Best new pro in skateboarding today, amazing style, power and trick selection. His Emerica pro model is one of the best shoes I have ever skated (On my third pair and yes we have them in stock). His new Venture trucks ad is no exception.





Brian Lotti on the Crail Couch

Stoked to see one of the most stylish skateboarders of all time on the crail couch. Style is a much talked about topic in skateboarding these days and I would like to think of Brian Lotti as being on of the innovators of good style in street skating.

A Gaggle of Reets : The Worst Video Ever Made

I started filming this video as a joke between me and Conlan about 5 months ago. Our original goal was to make a 10 minute long montage in honor of Warren Fosters video "The Art of the Soul Cock". Since that time it grew into a 24 minute not so structured video.

I hope everyone enjoys the video, or hates it. Either way I'm stoked.

Filmed by Cyrus Stafford
Edited by Cyrus Stafford and Conlan Killeen

Featuring
Conlan Killeen
Dane Pryds
Erik Sorensen
Andrew Copleston
Dylan Timmins
Carter Spinks

New Jon Dickson Part 2011

New Anthony Pappalardo Footage!!!

When I first heard Pops had new footage on The Berrics earlier today I laughed and thought this has to be some kind of joke. Low and behold it was true. Pops has and always be one of my favourite skateboarders, his part in Photosynthesis alone is legend worthy.

Heres the link to the new stuff.

and included is the said childhood obsession.

Zero Cold War Trailer and Dane Burman Interview

Zero recently dropped a trailer for there newest project entitled "Cold War". Its looking up to be a really good video with an old school Zero vibe to it.



Apparently they will be running the entire project through a VHS player to give it the that filtered look that you see in the trailer. Very similar to Flipmodes "Caviar" video

Zero also just dropped an interview with Dane Burman about working on the video project, Check it out.

Jerry Hsu "10 From Back When"

Networkskate.com just put up some amazing old footage of Jerry Hsu from around 2000-2004. Jerry is in my eyes one of the best to ever stand on a board, he adds a certain detail of fun into his skating that makes it that much more enjoiable. :)



Might as well turn this into a best of Jerry Hsu.



My personal favourite from Maples "Black Cat" video.



One of the best shared parts ever........





All switch!

Fresh Emerica!!!

8 new shoes from Emerica are now on the wall!












Including Spankys newest pro model "The Situation"









Even got some for the little guys...........Reynolds approved!











The definite stand out would be the newly retooled Leo Romero pro model aptly named "The Leo".










It features an all new 400 NBS natural gum rubber cupsole, which I must say is a blessing if you are into the feel of a vulcanized sole but don't like the obvious foot abuse associated.


Brian Delatorre Welcome to Habitat

Im sure everyone has seen this by now, easily one of the best parts to come out in years.



Well that part as well as Delas smooth stylings on the board have landed him a spot on Habitat.

Here is the welcome video filmed by VX overlord Josh Stewart.
