The dudes at TypicalCulture.com always have something good going on. This week they did an interview with Shane Cox, and it’s definitely blogworthy material. Oh, and here is a product review they did on our urethane a long time ago that we forgot to post. Photos below by Brian Walnum and Ray Zimmerman. Three thumbs up for Shane!
You all remember the Texas Death Match presented by Cons and Thrasher we posted about a while back? Nolan was terrorizing the place in his usual style, and scored this sweet full page photo in the latest Thrasher Magazine. You think you can do that backside single footed power soar? Think again. Mister Johnson rides a Welcome.
In other news, the Blueprint Skateboards video Make Friends With The Color Blue is one of the most inspiring skate videos of the past few years, so if you get a chance to buy a copy or at least view it, please do.

The boys over at SLAP Magazine sat Mr. Coakley down for a little chat. Click the image below to read Kevin’s interview as he discusses the new Blueprint video, being the first American dude on the British brand, and why he’s got so much love for Boston. Kevin is cool.
What are you going to do this Saturday? Nothing but this: get in your busted-ass vehicle, drive to the Hollenbeck park in Los Angeles, enjoy a day of hanging with your favorite brands, and watch the Make-A-Wish Skate Jam & Best Trick Contest. Be sure to stop by the Broadcast booth and use the keyword “hello” to receive a cool high-five. Special thanks to everyone at Skateboarder Magazine for helping to put this event together, because a good cause combined with skating is always awesome. Proceeds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The fine folks over at 2HeadedHorse present to you this visual delight starring Broadcaster Patrick Melcher. Can you find Waldo Gareth? And if you roll like Melcher, you get interviewed for GQ and shiz. Check his Gentleman Quarterly interview here.
We’re down for the Foundation team, and we are certainly down with the crew at Backdoor Skate Shop. So it goes without saying that we wanted to share this little video they done posted over at Transworld.
We all know that TSM is a legit mag. They do it right, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that they Geek’d out on the new Broadcast Wheel Company line. A biggy thanks goes out to the fine folks at The Skateboard Mag for noticing a little brand like Broadcast.
“There’s a new wheel company on the block called Broadcast, and the wheels and team are both looking good. Heavy-hitting pros like Ethan Fowler, Gareth Stehr, Paul Shier, Danny Falla, and Shiloh Greathouse are nothing to be taken lightly. And as far as the urethane goes, Broadcast has all sorts of shapes and sizes and some sweet colors to boot. Try ‘em out when you get the chance.” – The Skateboard Mag. Go to your local skate shop, pick up a copy of Issue 73 and enjoy.
Joel Meinholz, bitchez. Anyone who has been following his skating already knows that Joel’s been in it for the long haul, and that he possesses a style and power that can only come from skating the gritty terrain he is so prone to session. He’s got some rad footage in conjunction with the new Rasa Libre flick, where you can see the video of this back noseblunt. Atta boy, Meinholz.
In case you haven’t noticed, Jeremy Holmes has been holding it down for the past 12 months. With a tech/silky style reminiscent of many of our heroes in Mouse, it’s obvious that Holmes pays special attention to detail and gets things done properly. Take a moment to catch up with his Skateboard Mag Minute, his HYPE! video promo, and most recently, his feature on the Captain & Casey Show. If you’re like me and can barely stomach the Captain & Casey Show, just FFWD to 3:00 and enjoy. It’s likely that you’re going to want to walk right out the door and go skating.

This new skate film from Blueprint Skateboards should be on the top of your videos-to-purchase-and-watch-daily list. Trust us, you will NOT want to just download it from some sketchy forum- this vid features the antics of Broadcast homies Paul Shier and Kevin Coakley, and it’s probably going to be one of the best flicks of the year. If you’re in the UK, this tour poster shows the dates & locations that you can make friends with the color blue. Elsewhere, visit blueprintskateboards.com for dates. |
