Unknown shredder Jordan Morrisette is right on Kegan’s heels taking the flying squirrel urban.
At first I was impressed, but after further review, I feel pretty low right now. Seriously, this guy’s legs aren’t working, and he’s mopping up quite nicely. He can do vert, he can do street, he can jump gaps, flip tricks, all without the use of his legs. I wish I could land my stupid kickflip every time. Or hit a long set of stairs with a rail, but instead, I’m just feeling bad….two working legs and I can’t do half the stuff. Og De Souza is his name, and he loves skateboarding.
Oh and if that was just too much for you, check out this trailer for a little known documentary on professional skateboarder John Comer. Comer has only one leg, the other one was amputated and he skated with a prosthetic. So no more excuses, go out there and rip it up, skate like there’s no tomorrow, these two cats did.
If you have ever wanted a job in the skateboarding world, now is your chance to brush off your portfolio, take a day off and hang out with the bigwigs in the skate industry and get a job. They are having a career day, where many top skateboarding companies will be looking for new talent, and basically giving you a chance to work in the industry, instead of just skateboarding for free. Imagine getting paid to work for Girl Skatebaords, or Lakai Shoes? Even the janitor gets to skate the mini-ramp! Check out the official Career Day website here, and get your resume ready. It takes place March 21st, so you got a little time, don’t sleep on this opportunity.
Everyone loves free gear. I love free stuff, and though I never seem to get anything for free, we can at least try to score some free stuff whenever the skate companies decide to throw us poor skateboarders a bone.

Recently the Lakai footwear crew landed in mainland China, but one thing bugged me about this epic event. The guys from Lakai, coming off of one of the best skateboarding dvd’s ever made, is skateboarding the same spots that Zoo York skated last year, and documented it on video! I’m not trying to start some beef between East Coast Skateboarding and West Coast Skate Shoes, but come on now, can’t we see a team go to China and skate something that hasn’t been skated before? Instead we get the same old spots, same old tricks, but new school mentality. The Lakai team still ripped it, and Slapmagazine.com was along to cover it.
Our Geisha are coming to life… well, on wood panels, for now…
The cypher13 team whipped up these paintings over the weekend for our homies bday. He’s kind of an eighties freak.
the cypher13 team cranked out some custom kayak helmets for Shred Ready’s upcoming Asheville, NC art exhibition.
