Converse: Zered Bassett, Nick Trapasso and Eli Reed in “Star Player Skate” edit.

Here’s a little clip of everyone’s favorite east coast ripper Zered Bassett skating around Boston with Nick Trapasso and Eli Reed. He even takes the boys lobster fishing with his dad…

Stoked to see Zered finally getting some proper recognition.

Remember his Quartersnacks re-edit? That thing was sick:

Madars Apse and friends in VEF skatepark

Madars and his boys enjoying a session in Riga’s indoor skatepark. I bet they can’t wait to skate their new DIY park again, that place looks so fun…

Madars’ DIY operation in Riga.

Arthur Derrien — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 13:36:47 +0000

Thanks to Red Bull’s financial support, Madars managed to fly a bunch of his friends to Riga (Latvia) to help him build this sick DIY skatepark. If you manage to get your hands on a copy of our new issue you’ll see that Wes Kremer, Eniz and the rest of the crew also managed to get quite a lot of street skating done…

Inside 112

Issue 112 is out and the guy on the cover grabbing the Kingpin logo’s P as he flies out of a tight tranny spot is Szymon Stachon.

This month we’ve got an Effect with Kilian Heuberger, the German ripper who found himself in a coma after a blood clot exploded in his brain, mid session. Most us can’t begin to imagine what he went through, so reading about his traumatic experience and seeing him back on his board, grinding down massive hubbas may come as quite a shock.

With Bon Voyage premiere coming up in less than two weeks, we thought you guys might want to find out about one of Cliché’s secret weapons: Maxime Géronzi. If you think this interview is gnarly, wait till you see what he’s got in the video…

As far as trips go, we covered a DIY mission in Riga (Latvia) organised by the one and only Madars Apse (check back this later week to watch the edit), some of Absurd’s Russian escapades and a Vans urban exploration article. The Vans article actually covers 3 different trips organised with the help of Urban Explorers. The edit might give you an idea of the kind unchartered territories they managed to skate, so watch it here.

This issue is full of surprises so grab yourself a copy before it’s too late!

Here’s a little video recap of this weekends bowl comp in New Zealand. Kevin Kowalski and Pedro Barros absolutely smashed it.

It’s hard to think of anything to say about this really. I guess he’s just technically incredible at skateboarding.

TAKE PART & GO BEYOND WITH KORAHN GAYLE

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:40:22 +0000

Red Bull are giving 10 UK skaters the chance to challenge themselves on some of Korahn Gayle’s favourite skate spots around London. For more information, head here.

Pedro Barros is a savage.

Arthur Derrien — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 11:23:33 +0000

I didn’t know Pedro Barros was such a gnarly street skater, you usually see him flying all over the place in bowls, but damn, the guy can chuck himself down some serious handrails. In the streets he’s not exactly smooth or light footed but he definitely kills it. Differnet story in a bowl anyway… Charging shit!
