Transworld Skate & Create

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:17:19 +0000

We always look forward to the TWS Skate & Create video competition. This year we gotta give props to the crew at Etnies for recreating the indoor World Industries park and filming a fun session in Hi-8. Broadcaster Shiloh Greathouse had a nice little cameo. It’ll make you want to check your calendar and count back to 1993. This is one of the many reasons why we love skateboarding. And we love this, too. Coverage courtesy of Transworld & Etnies.

Brian Lotti: Now, Later, and The Chrome Ball Incident

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:45:07 +0000

Brian Lotti is a first-class guy. A pure skate technician. How many other skaters have received this type of praise from the one and only John Cardiel? If you haven’t already seen Brian’s part in Now N Later, or if it has been a while since you’ve watched it, we suggest you sit your arse down and study the skills of the proprietor of the big spin. Yep, that’s right: Mr. Lottery brought you the Bigspin like Mugatu brought you the piano key necktie. The reason we mention this all here is because Lotti is the subject of the latest Chrome Ball Interview. Style never fades, rust never sleeps. Man, lately I’m feeling just about as cushiony as the citizen on patrol lady in this photo.

Million, Billion, Trillion, Centillion

If this is the level of skating that is passed off as merely “worth mentioning… but honorably”, I think the future is looking mighty bright. Or on the other hand, maybe it is a sign of skate society reaching a dark zenith that it has reached before, prior to collapse. Like the idea that a star is brightest right before it explodes into a million pieces from overcombustion. Sometimes I pretend that because of the complexity and advancement of trick skating, the entire concept of maneuver-based skating will eat itself and digress (or progress) back to the initial skateboarding palette of carving, knee cruising, and miniature ollies, once again establishing the truth that we are all just a bunch of kids looking for something fun to do (regardless of how long we have been skating or how “good” we are at doing it). Maybe I am just thinking too much and I should just enjoy this rad montage from our friends at SLAP Magazine, featuring the talents of a hundreds of skaters fighting for the title of One In A Million. Enjoy your weekend.

Hung out with Gareth Stehr the other day and talked about art, motorcycles, and good places to eat in Los Angeles. He’s been working on his bike for a while and soon it will be ready to hit the road, the ultimate motorized vehicle for seeking retribution and good times. There will be some exciting things coming from Mr. Stehr soon. You might want to know that Gary skates the 53mm Hipster Killers.

Steve Olson recently interviewed Gareth Stehr for the latest issue of JUICE Magazine. We suggest that you pick up a copy and check it out because Steve has a bitchin way of interviewing skaters that really reveals how much they love skating. There are some rad never-before-seen photos of Gareth, too. He also talks about his art, what it was like growing up skating in New Zealand, and how he paid his own way to the United States to embark on his journey to skate every day.
