Here’s the latest trailer about the Maloof Cup that is going down this July. If you’re not aware what the Maloof Cup is, then you need to wake up! It’s a skateboarding contest that is going to be giving away 100K to the #1 street skateboarder. The street course, to be made in Las Vegas, will be specifically designed for street skateboarding and will not feature some lame X-Games quarterpipe crap. This is the real deal, and it has been recently picked up by a national network for live coverage, just like a legit sport.

Element skateboards presents their latest video entitled “Elemental Awareness Future Nature”. Element TV Episode #85 brings to us some great footage from one of the busiest skate teams in skateboarding.

Andrew Reynolds joins an elite crew of skateboarders on Nixon Watches. The official Nixon website revealed today that Andrew Reynolds is the latest skateboarder signed to the watch giant and will have his own style and flavor embedded into a new watch line up. This comes as great news for Reynolds, with his new Deathwish project launching out of Baker, and the new Emerica shoes which some say could have “lights” on them. (according to recent ads) Andrew Reynolds has been doing some great things lately, and this could be seen as another piece to the puzzle. Altamont & Nixon…now that’s a collaboration that has money written all over it.

Man, I wish I could be featured on Food Network, or at least eat some of the food that they create on the show. I should have gotten a degree in video or something along those lines. Because then I could be the camera guy for some of those shows with great food being made. Or, become a professional skateboarder and be featured just like Kris Markovich! Featured skateboarding on Ace of Cakes. Here’s the footage:

If you’re not familiar with The Berrics, you should definitely check in sometimes. They have a full site of media, videos, and photos from Steve Berra’s and Eric Koston’s skate park called “The Berrics”. You may have previously seen the park in episodes of Rob & Big, and they produce a ton of videos with teams from across the nation coming in and throwing down some tricks. Well, right now they have a full page of “BANGIN” which you can check out by visiting the official Berrics, Banging Webpage.

The one thing that I don’t like about The Berric’s, and it is minor, its that you can’t directly download any of their media. But some people are able to decompile the flash player, and bring you gems like: Jason Lee Skateboarding at the Berrics, and I don’t mean classic Jason Lee footage, I mean recent footage, like this below, just wait for it…it’s the whole Stereo Team, but you can clearly see Jason Lee midway through skateboarding and featured:

Mark Gonzales has teamed up with Elwood clothing for a 100% cotton t-shirt that you might be interested in. Now, I know what you’re thinking, who cares about 1 solitary t-shirt? Well, this shirt is not only 100% cotton, it’s 100% organic cotton! So all you guys trying to go “green”, this is a good place to start, and Mark Gonzales has some squiggly lines for a design in collaboration with Dan Drehobl. Why not?
