Günes On Polar

Jan — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:07:34 +0000

Swedish tech dog and smooth operator, Günes Özdogan is the latest addition to the Polar squad. He’ll be joining the pro ranks along with Polar mastermind, skater-, videographer- and just all around artiste-extraordinaire, Pontus Alv. The team is currently about to embark on a trip to Poland to visit the homeland of their previous addition, Michal Juras. If you happen to live in Poland, look out for those guys; all you other people, keep your eyes peeled for Günes’ board to be dropping soon.

Not the newest latest, this piece has been around for a week or two. But nevertheless, this one is a true gem and since it hasn’t found its way onto these pages yet, I take this opporunity to show some love for sick skating beyond hammers and stair-count. Eye-candy like filming included.

Moshing Galore!

Jan — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:45:51 +0000

Sure enough, the premier has been a blast. The video certainly can live up to the hype. Some all around wicked shredding by doctor skate and friends. Despite a composition revolving more or less around shining a light on the man himself, this piece still ranges far from cockiness. It rather serves as testomony for a sheer and profound love for ripping hard and never compromising; in other words: the mosh it down way of life!

Mosh It Down

Finally, Mark Frölich’s vid is about to drop! Premier (and big birthday celebration) tonight at Barcelon’s Jamboree. Be there to witness the moshing or if you can’t make it, check the piece out on the www.

Epic, Near-Death Drop Ins

Jan — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:32:20 +0000

In response to Alex’s post regarding this month’s drop-in from The Rad, a few other epic near death drop-ins came to mind…

…one from one of the very first skate-mags I ever held in my hands, crica ‘89. The image of Frankfurt local Martin Wagner in a Monster Skateboard Magazin, instantly ingrained into my tender and innocent mind, establishing a spark of loco – one of the fundamentals that make up skateboarding’s radness!

And another one, that almost ended tragically, with David Conrads going to front feeble split seconds after Helge Tscharn had pushed the button on this one, sending David flying pretty much directly to his dome piece! – Sirens. Hospital. Fractured skull… splitting from the hospital a couple of days later, just to skate a comp in the local park!! – The spark of loco is strong with this one!!

Hirschi on Antiz

Jan — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:45:56 +0000

Roland Hirsch, aka Hirschi – Berlin-powerhouse, fixie-fanatic, mean ollie-machine; to make it short: A person which is no fan of going small or slow on anything done – is the latest addition to the Antiz squad. A perfect fit if you ask me! Seems like for now it’s a distribution deal, but I’m pretty sure, this will go far…

“Give Gas, Hirschi!!”

Today’s visual comes from Sam Partaix’s banging Interview in Issue 80. Trust me, the roll in to this gap is a trick in itself.
