Some of the Carve Wicked boys (Alex Perelson, Tim Zom, Rob Smith, Phil Zwijsen, Sam Pulley, Jake Collins, Julien Benoliel, Sam Beckett, Fernando Bramsmark and Sox) recently spent seven days in Portugal shooting an article for Soma and Sidewalk. The full edit will be out very soon but in the meantime enjoy this funny little trailer put together by Alex Pasquini.

Head over to Skateboarder Magazine’s website to check out some of Jonathan Mehrings‘ photos from the second Builders Jam in Bangalore, India.

Have you seen the full article about the trip in our current issue (114) ? If not you might want to pick up a copy before they run out.

Our exclusive edit featuring  Stefan Janoski, Al Partanan, Omar Salazar, Rob Smith, Chet Childress, Daryl Nobbs, Jan Kliewer and more should also be dropping towards the end of the month so keep your eyes peeled.

Here’s a short clip of  Sam Beckett, Jake Collins, Rob Smith, Div Adams, Colin Adams, Alex Halford, Reiss Johnson skating Manchester’s new park: “Beast Rampz”

This issue is a bit of a Sweet X SK8MAFIA special as we’ve got two double interviews with their riders. One with Eric Pettersson and Javier Sarmiento, the other with kickflip shiftying cover boys Wes Kremer And Josef Scott Jatta.

We’ve also cornered Cliché’s newest pro Flo Mirtain to ask him about working on Bon Voyage, how he feels about his new status and what we should expect from him in the near future.

As far as trips go we’ve got two pretty big ones in store for you. The first is this year’s Builders’ Jam in Bangalore with Stefan Janoski, Chet Childress, Lennie Burmeister, Rob Smith and many more. The second is an 80s launch ramp themed Parisian excursion with a few of our favorite European Converse riders including Pontus Alv, Jerome Campbell and Kevin Rodrigues.

There you go, now that you know what we’ve got lined up for you all you have left to do is pick up a copy before they run out!

Here’s a full recap of what went down in Varrazze last weekend.

Rob Smith finger flips a 13 stair , has a Nassim Guammaz tatoo on his shoulder, only does two tricks that do not involve grabbing his skateboard, smashes glass into his mouth as he attempts to drink alcohol, does one of the gnarliest drop-in’s I’ve ever seen, and most importantly “bangs like an Orangutan” (according to his song). Enjoy.

Here’s the first of a series of 10 “Pushed” leftover edits. This one features Pontus during a little Carhartt mission in Malmö. As you’ll notice our very own Alex Irvine was also on that trip and I got him to dig out both his and Pontus’ photo of Rob… Enjoy.

Hugo Liard, Phil Zwijsen, Sam Beckett, Manhead and Rob Smith turn up the lark-o-meter and fit in a bit of festive shredding in Skatepark Amsterdam.
