The Foundation Team is tearing up North Carolina right now, and team manager, Mike Sinclair was nice enough to answer my questions at 1:30 in the morning. Skatemodo: Who’s on the tour? Mike Sinclair: Sierra Fellers, Gareth Stehr, Angel Ramierz, David Reyes, Nick Merlino and Abdias Rivera. Skatemodo: Where are you guys headed to next? [...]

DVS Probably spent more time editing this behind the scenes footage from Skate & Create II than for the actual video. Good job guys, yours was my favorite, too bad you didn’t win. See the original videos here: 4 Beautiful Skateboard Movies Via clubmumble.com

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 had the pleasure of seeing Collin Provost rip up our Durham skate park a week or so ago. Seems like a nice kid, and he’s definitely a ripper. ESPN beat me to the punch and managed to get an interview with him while he was here in North Carolina. You can see the original [...]

Normally I wouldn’t put a full post for when The Berrics Recruits some kid to skate for them. But I’m sorry, I thought I was watching some video game skateboarding or something. Nick Tucker is ridiculous! Good Choice Steve Berra and Eric Koston. Here is the video:

I noticed two very prevalent trends at the skatepark today. 1. Everybody seems to be wearing purple … especially purple shoes. 2. Everybody uses shoelaces for belts. The color purple can symbolise many things, but most often it symbolizes sexual frustration (draw your own inferences). AND, using things other than belts to keep your pants [...]

It’s hard to hate on a guy as cool as P-Rod, but this certainly isn’t helping. P-Rod (of x-games fame) has an official “Paul Rodriguez Skateboarding Premium App”. It has such features as: 1. Pauls Twitter Feed and ability to view his TwitPics and Vids from within the app. (really? who cares?) 2. Exclusive Video’s, [...]

C1RCA P-RAM VULC Nice shoe design. I like how simple these circa shoes look. Apprearing in white and brown, the materials are suede and tumble action. Since the words tumble action make no sense to me whatsoever, I’m going to assume it is lingo for fake leather. None-the-less, these shoes have a classic skate shoe [...]

Every Friday, we at skatemodo are going to go through YouTube’s plethora of “Sponsor Me” videos and pick the best ones (seriously, there are SO many). You guys get to vote on them, and the winner will face off against next weeks choices. One year from now, the overall winner will get hooked up. Not [...]

Zero released their holiday catalogue and in it are a few Keegan Sauder skateboards. Guess that means he’s gone all pro on us. Sellout anybody? All kidding aside, I hear he killed it in Zero’s video, “Strange World” (which I have not seen yet). Here he is skating in the Black Box Warehouse ironically listening [...]

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 [...]

Jamie Thomas joined a new clothing company called Insight. It’s the right move for insight to get him on the team… he’s got the steez. They’re going to post a short video on the Insight website on Friday the 13th. No word yet if it is going to be a horror flick, or just a [...]

Here are a couple of skateboards that, while I can’t skate them, I still must have. It makes you wonder what else can be made into a “skateboard”. If you know of anything else, please tell me. Just think, I could be kick-flipping this stupid keyboard instead of typing on it. Tobi Leingruber, an artist [...]

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

The problem with house slippers is that they all make you look slightly gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). These slippers solve that problem? Either way, I want these slippers. via the Es blog

Congrats to Aussie Sammy Winter on making the team at Cliche Skateboards. Not sure about this guy, he lives in Australia, so that’s weird. If there is one thing that Canadians are cooler than… it’s the Aussies (and Kiwis). So I’m feeling mighty fine about myself right now. Seriously though, check him out, he’s rad [...]

The Berrics (Steve Berra) interviewed Vinnie Ponte (of 90′s skateboarding fame and fortune). It was interesting to see what skateboarders do after their moment in the spotlight… It’s not like skateboarding prepares you for the real world… heck, you can’t even claim that it teaches you teamwork like little league soccer does. But Vinnie obviously [...]

Skateboarding and art go together like french fries and a frosty. So… with that in mind, I went through like a million different online catalogues and picked the bestest skateboards that will keep you illin’ on those Saturday afternoons at the skatepark. I have a background in design, so I naturally gravitated towards some of [...]
