Massimo Cavedoni: “Stoops Mom” part

Arthur Derrien — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:50:56 +0000

Thrasher just released Massimo Cavedoni’s “Stoops Mom” section. What does “Stoops Mom” even mean? The part’s incredible though, it seems like he skates even faster than in the Real video…

I hope someone makes a Ri-Mix with this footage, the first one was the best thing ever:

Here’s how Vans officially welcome Sven Kilchenmann to their Swiss Pro team. That MACBA line is mental.

This week’s wallpaper was taken from our Element in Morocco article Sam Ashley shot for issue 113. I can’t wait see what else Phil Zwijsen has managed to get for his “Hold it Down” section. I heard he’s been stacking up some serious bangers…

Vans: DERP (Derelict Places) – Athens, Greece

Arthur Derrien — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:11:40 +0000

Here’s the third of Vans Europe’s Derelict Places videos and this time their trusty urban explorer led the team to some of Athens’ best kept secrets. Always good to see a bit of Flo Marfaing footage, dudes been killing it for years…

We’ve got a full article about these trips in our current issue (112) so pick up a copy while they are still floating about.

Here are the first 2 episodes in case you missed them: Dubrovnik/Hannover.

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!
