If you haven’t heard about Comet Skateboards‘ Ithaca Hill Jam by now, please tell me what rock you’ve been sleeping under and where I could possibly acquire such an item. The 2013 Hill Jam was one of the homiest bro-down slide sessions we’ve encountered and the waterfall of radness poured strongly that day. Don’t let …

Turning “regular” water into “Forty Water”? Go on… I’m listening! From the looks of it, Bonzing Board Co. has made a new friend. Her name is Dead Frida and she is a nun who hails from the weird city of Thebayarea. If this in-depth, heart-felt examination of Miss Frida’s lifestyle isn’t enough to convince you …
Taking into account the recent digi-merger of our two online identities, it’s no surprise that our board-riding brethren in Australia (or “South Ameristralia” for the Redditorially-inclined) would be so kind as to include a live-stream of their skateboard festivities for the rest of us to enjoy!

George Mackenzie “G Mack” now rides for Rayne. That’s rad—we like that! Wooot! It’s also stokin’ to catch some visuals of George’s motorcycle as well as some recent shreddings in the BPs.
