skateboards on seshn

 Today was a blast, woke up again before 8 am,  had the breakfast of champions at McDonalds, skated the square & walked the city searching for grip-tape.  A Big Thanks to Ivan at  Mystic Skates for helping us with grip-tape and razor blade.  We have a little refrigerator in the hotel..  We stocked it with all the goodies to make peanut better and jelly sandwiches.   Prague is pretty cheap but you need shop outside of the touristy places.   Check out these crazy energy drinks.  The Marijuana drink is a tea,  I have no idea what the other are but you can get an idea names.   I’ve never seen a battery drink before. This place is fun!  We meet with David to shoot some photos tomorrow around noon.  Andrew and I will be skating at 8 am to try and get our tricks again.  

Peace Out!!

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:

If you missed Van’s Downtown Showdown, then you missed out on an amazing day of skateboarding. Here’s a video highlighting one of the special obstacles created specifically for the event. It was built by Creature, and skaters really had to watch their heads, or they would face an untimely doom…this looks sick.

Element skateboards just updated an awesome video of their team hitting up train stations, warehouses and more indoor action than you can shake a stick at. Although, I do not recommend doing the same, unless you’re backed by Element skateboards money or Mike V’s fist! Check out the video below:

With all the hype and web news sites going crazy over the Iron Man movie that is breaking records, it’s only natural that we see some decks coming to the surface from Powell. These were released in the mid 90’s and were Steve Caballero’s pro decks on the classic brand. These are hot commodities on ebay, collector’s walls, and anyone that’s a fan of both comic books and skateboarding; like myself. Look for Powell to make a huge comeback this year, as they are currently filming for what could be the best video of 2008; with full parts from Cab and more.

Love him or hate him, right now Ryan Sheckler has bigger balls than you. Check out the footy below of Sheckler slappin the mega ramp around like he owns the thing. You can plan on seeing more of this action this year at X Games… The thing I am not stoked about though is listening to all the damn girls screaming when Sheckler does anything.
