Amid the noise and haste...

FBM Ghetto Street Contest.

This was one of my favourite jams of a few years ago, it got a couple of pages of coverage in the magazines and I think it was on Props or something so it’s good to see more footage of it…

A loop-de-loop made of pallets?

Epicly Later’d - Max Schaaf (3 of 4).

Schaaf talks about getting his first skateboard…

‘When I lived with my Dad, someone left a banana board in front of the house.
I wanted to take the board, he said ‘Oh someone left it there. Leave it there for a coupla days, if it’s still there…you can have the board’.

So I sat on the board for two days so noone would see it.’

I always explain it to people like this: Like, dude you could come here with twenty grand or twenty five grand and I can build you the coolest bike and you can put on some dirty shit and go around and pretend to be Billy Bad Boy and, you know what, people might buy it. You could never do that with a skateboard. I could sell you the most epic fuckin’ board ever and you could show up at the skatepark with the coolest Lakai’s or whatever they are, and you’re gonna drop in and everyone is gonna know right away that you’re a fucking phony…

Epicly Later’d - Max Schaaf (1 of 4).

I posted about the Max Schaff Epicly Later’d series on here a little while ago saying how excited I was about it and now the first two episodes are online.

If you like incredible skating, old school motorcycles and generally rad dudes, you should definitely watch these.

The man is ‘cool’ and style personified.

Maybe i should let these ones go…

Footdragger manual rolls kill topsides!

Physically and mentally, these are the most comfortable shoes in the world when they’re worn in like that.

‘We Were Once A Fairytale’.

I know Kanye West isn’t exactly flavour of the month at the moment, but Spike Jonze is always the flavour of my month, and this is really worth a watch if you can get past the whole ‘Kanye is a bit of a knob’ thing.

Also, it has various pro skaters (pretty much the whole Girl team) in cameo roles including one of my favourites, Mike Carroll. I didn’t really know anything about this before I watched it so it was cool to recognise random people that you wouldn’t normally expect to see in something like this.
