Today in Durham, there is snow on the ground… so what that means for the first Saturday in about 6 months, no skateboarding. But what is almost as good? Basketball, so that is what I’ll be doing watching today. Gonna watch UNC play Texas (and lose), then Duke will Destroy Gonzaga. What a great day. [...]

So Christmas Eve is coming up in only 10 days. What the what? And you still need to buy yourself that special someone something rad for Christmas? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. 1. Theeve Trucks. Ok, so they’re not available now (soon), but these babys are made of frickin TITANIUM. They were literally designed [...]

Full disclosure: I haven’t played this game… and honestly, I kind of want to. I had some high hopes for this game that just haven’t panned out. Here are some of the reviews it has received. Gamespot.com 3.5/10 — “Tony Hawk Ride is the ultimate triumph of gimmick over game.” IGN.com 5/10 — “If you’re [...]

This video will instantly put you in a good mood, mainly because of the combination of awesome eighties happy song, and ridiculously small mini ramp. Do you have an extra corner in your house? Maybe a hallway that you barely walk in? Why not convert that wasted space into a mini mini-ramp. [via The Skateboard [...]

Holy crap! Ryan Sheckler is in a movie with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… not only that, but it is about the tooth fairy. It looks so bad I could barely make it through the preview. Ryan plays a hockey player in a minor league hockey team. Just to be clear, he does not skateboard in [...]

I would do this: All indications are that this is real… I bet bucky lasek could do this. Social Bookmarking

Don’t ask me how I came across this online poll… but I did. Here is the actual link: pollpigeon.com It is funny how he is more famous with tween girls than he is in the skateboard world. Also this week, his CFO was charged with embezzling more than $365,000 from Ryan… I don’t blame him. [...]

Active asked Chris Cole questions from an iphone… the results are somewhat interesting. The bombshell was that Chris Cole tried Wallenberg 68 times! If you don’t know what Wallenberg is, check out the second video below (It’s a contest that Thrasher puts on). It’s pretty gnarly. Other interesting parts of the interview: He graduated from [...]

There is no doubt in my mind, that P-Rod is the most beautiful piece of man out there in a world of skateboarding heshers. Not only does he have beautiful hair and big brown puppy dog eyes, but he is also one of the most successful skaters out there right now. Sponsored by Nike, PLan [...]

I’ve been noticing Ryan Sheckler posting a lot of strange stuff on twitter, and on his facebook page lately. Last week, it was the announcement of his Ethika underwear line. This week, he posted this photo on Facebook. Really Ryan? A shirtless glam shot for Facebook? Really? What is the deal? This guy has over [...]

Thrashermagazine.com is running a classic piece on Andrew Reynolds. He won skater of the year in 1998… and he’s still awesome ten years later… and just a little more ugly. However, in his defense, he has the most buttery frontside flips… ever. Here’s the video. [photo from brainfood] Here is some bonus footage from a [...]

If you’ve never checked out Trickipedia on The Berrics’ website, you should. There is something mesmerizing about seeing the same trick done about 10 times in a row… but maybe I’m just slow. Here is Billy Marks doing a whole mess of switch big spin heelflips Social Bookmarking

Saturdays are the best, especially when they involve skating… and made EVEN better better, when you get to skate with pros. Toy Machine is skating at our local Durham skatepark today, and I’m psyched. As you can see by the picture I edited, I’m most excited to see Billy Marks (I covered the other dumb [...]

As far as MTV’s realty shows go, they all suck except one.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve watched my fair share of Run’s House and every time the Real World is on, I watch it too, but that doesn’t mean they don’t suck.  That is why it is so confusing to me that the Fantasy [...]
