Altered Skateboarding

Nothing to say about this one. Just have a look!

This video part is a testament to why sloppy style doesn’t necessarily mean bad style. He really fights for every trick! I think Time Code was the second skate video I ever watched.

This is one of my all time favorite video parts, as well as my first exposure to Built To Spill. Unfortunately the sound is out of sync thanks to Craptube. If you can find a copy of this video it’s well worth buying!

I really liked this part when I first saw it. I think it was my first times digging Pink Floyd as well. Toy Machine used to be so sick!

What skateboarding sites do you visit on a regular basis? What do you like about them? Is there anything you’d like on a skateboarding but have never seen one that offers it? Please leave comments with your answers.

"It’s a miracle. He’s a bit groggy, but it seem that he’s going to be completely recovered, and his mind is getting clearer every day."

Omar Boulala, Ali’s brother, told Swedish newspaper, Expressen, "he’ll be back on board before you know it."

It’s nice to hear that Ali is doing well. More information is available at Tacky World.

Mark Gonzales and Christian Hosoi are featured on Epicly Later’d this week. Part 1. Part 2.

New Arizona Video coming April 28th. This is not you’re average skateboard video promo (at least I think it’s for a skate video).

Sublimited is holding a contest to see who can best re-create Guy Mariano’s legendary part from Girl’s Mouse video. The prize is currently sitting at $1000 and is coming from the pockets of Joshua Steimie’s (Sublimited Owner) web design business. That may sound like a nice prize, but when you consider that there are 41 clips (13 of which are lines) to film, that’s a pretty hefty task. If you can pull this off, you’re probably already sponsored and should be out getting your own original footage instead of chasing a tough thousand bucks.

That said, I still thinks it’s a cool contest. Some people are fussing about how it’s stupid to re-create a masterpiece. I see it as a fun challenge. Challenge is the keyword though. I doubt there will be many entries. For Josh’s sake, I hope he adds some more rules to this contest. I’d hate to see him have to dish out $1000 to a lone entrant who’s submitted video is nothing like Mariano’s part.

Here’s Guy Mariano’s part from Mouse to refresh your memory (and for those of you who have never seen it):

Youtube really does have everything. I thought that at best searching for skateboarding bunny would give me some videos of girl skateboarders.
