Well we have seen what skateboard reality tv can do, now why not give skateboard-related rap a listen? Fly Society, the new rap group that includes Pro Skateboarder Terry Kennedy, newcomer, “Hit”, and former Lil Wayne affiliate, Currens$y, have released a new song and video called “Fresh”.
Watch the video below and notice the cameo by P-Rod, Gorecki and Jereme Rogers. Makes you wonder what this will do as far as giving more exposure to Skateboarding, and if it’s a good thing. One thing is for sure, Kr3w is stoked

April 1st at Breckenridge has become a huge party day for all the local shreds. Its sick to see the whole snowboard scene together on one day having what seems the most fun you could have on the mountain. Hunting down a good set of retro gear, setting you stance back, maybe cutting a swallow tail, spraying everyone and everything in sight, and slashing like all the old school shredders is what its all about.
We were on the hill pretty early, the local holiday was still pretty low key but there was a good foot of fresh to be had. We headed directly for the T-bar and Imperial lift. After a short hike (around some very winded Welsh blokes) we had reached the summit of peak 8 with open powder fields in all directions. Once we had exhausted the new snow and some clouds rolled in we blasted our way to Park Lane. We were immediately surrounded by neon and snowblades, it was chaos. Constant soul trains with 2-4 people on a lip at any time, spread eagles, and the all mighty method were being thrown with screams of delight.
It was getting pretty dangerous in the park, after seeing more than a few wrecks we were thinking of calling it. Breck beat us to it. Soon the parks were closed to anyone wearing a “costume” and therefore empty except for the a few steezy shreders here and there, apparently the resort was not as stoked as the rest of us. Didn’t stick around to see the “gapers” unleashed on the rest of the mountain.

If you are going to buy one book this year it should be Faces of Skateboarding. Faces of Skateboarding was created by Swedish Photographer, Daniel Mansson. Mansson travelled for two years to create this awesome collection of 50 portraits capturing some of the world’s most influential Skateboarders such as Tony Hawk, Danny Way, Jason Lee, Eric Koston, Tom Penny and a bunch of others. The book is 160 pages and is sure to give you some motivation to go skate.
Here are a few shots from Faces of Skateboarding:
Daniel Mansson definitely has raw, documentary-portrait style, using using sharp contrasts and natural moody lighting. Mansson is a advertising, press and skateboard photographer, located in Stockholm and Los Angeles.
