Considering we just posted Youness Amrani’s interview from issue 109 it seemed fit to for us use one of his photos from it as a wallpaper. I quite like this one…

Remember his 10 tricks for Kingpin edit? That thing was nuts.

Neil Smith interview from Slam City Skates.

Arthur Derrien — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:20:18 +0000

Blueprint’s demise left a lot of us wondering what was store for Smithy. Will he be a part of Jensen and Shier’s new company? Will he skate for another UK company? Will he get on a an American company? Although Slam‘s interview only partly answers these questions, you’ll be delighted to read that the future is looking bright for Essex’s finest and we’ll be enjoying a welcome clip from his new sponsor sooner that we think.

Timeless: Luy-Pa Sin in “They don’t give a fuck about us”

I can barely put into words the impact that opening line had on me the first time I saw it. It takes so many special little details to make a clip as magical as this one. The incredibly precise foot placement between both sand pits, the way he properly kicks his front leg out in front of him when he tre flips (almost Josh Kalis-esque) and the slight pause just before the second push are just a few of them. His smooth switch mongo push and fact he does a nollie varial flip rather than a conventional 180 trick to set himself for the switch back tail also add a bit of extra flavour to the line. The section may be slightly short, but I’m sure we can all agree that it’s better to have a 2 minute part with nothing else but footage of this calibre than a 5 minute one filled with average stuff. It’s all about quality not quantity isn’t?

Anyway I hope you enjoy rewatching his this, I know I did. That blazing Californian sun might even take your mind off how grim the weather’s been lately…

13 minutes of Dallas Rockvam.

Here is what Dallas has been stacking up on his computer for the last 5 years. A lot of it is funny camera phone footage, but there’s also some sick vx stuff in there. Life as an American hobo seems pretty fun…

Cliché’s “Bon Voyage” is going to be nuts.

Mauro Caruso Wallpaper

No matter how much we enjoyed Mauro’s part, with 50 new sections coming out every day it’s easy for us to forget all about it. This black and white wallpaper featuring his steezy switch backside flip could serve as a good reminder that watching these 4 minutes of Sicilian magic will always be a fast and efficient way to get hyped before a session. All you need to do is choose the size that fits your screen and save the image.
