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?

Blue Tile Lounge, Chocolate Skateboards, Momentum Wheels and a few other companies are collaborating over what maybe the feel good skateboarding release this year. The preview trailer is not half bad, the editing looks decent, and things could be looking really good for this one. Here is the trailer for Four Letter Word:
The Spanish skateboarders have been producing some high quality, high def footage as of late and here is another great quality edit. Nomad Skateboards introduces some of their best tricks and stops from their tour of the European nation and then some. It’s not half bad; who knew the skate scene in Spain was so hot right now?
Sean Malto has been on a roll as of late, first going Pro and now landing the cover of Slap Magazine. The Magazine has some 17+ odd pages of Sean Matlo talking about everything from skateboarding to personal life. Slap Magazine hasn’t exactly been my favorite magazine for a long time, but it’s still doing quite well in regards to promoting art and skateboarding in a seamless fashion. Check out the issue at newsstands now.
Just days after the internet was buzzing with Vince’s part in a the Chocolate Skateboards Television edit, here he comes out of the gate with a new shoe sponsor, that being the big boys over at Lakai Footwear. A lot of people want to call Vans the Number 1 skate shoe company, but Lakai has basically took a shot at the empire, and is building up to the number one spot shortly. They are definitely gunning for it, and with the latest signee, they might as well call Vans into check, because Lakai Limited is fulfilling a big gap in the skateboarding shoe market. Or maybe I’m just out of my mind. Here’s the welcome video for Vincent Alvarez, Lakai Team Rider:
Blueprint Skateboards has unleashed this awesome video. Mike Wright might not be plastered through magazines, but the name is going to be bigger, once more peeps check out this skate montage, and slick edit. Check it out below:
