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 …
Comet Skateboards is making the last call on the first round of their Community Board Design project. The initial thread for idealogical input has been closed, so now it’s coming down to voting on various points of interest (in the form of +/- responses for such items as rocker, kicks, w-concave, et al.) for the soon-to=-be-prototyped freeride …
It’s not very often that you get to see what goes on behind the scenes in your favorite longboard manufacturing facility. If you’re unable to see it in person then it’s even less likely that the view you get is one of significant radness! Rayne Longboards upped a quick peek in to what goes on behind the …
If you’re going to lug your whole crew across the country (to San Diego, for an extremely rad event nonetheless) you best be planning on skating everything while you’re there! That’s precisely what this edit is. Original Skateboards has just posted the recap of their trip to San Diego for MuirSkate‘s 2013 Downhill Disco. They’ve managed …
Perhaps most frequently acknowledged as being the home of Cornell University, the town of Ithaca, New York is also home to a sustainability-oriented community. Pulling a large part of the weight in the sustainability field is the crew at Comet Skateboards. As an officially recognized “B-Corporation”, Comet Skateboards does their part to ensure that they …
Who says everything is backwards down under? Based on what we’ve just learned, it’s all headed in the right direction!

The four part event series (set to take place over the course of four …
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. What’s to come of this new relationship? A new Pro-model perhaps, more rad vids of maximum shred? world domination? Who knows, but we’re …
It has just been announced that Arbor Skateboards has appointed Brandon Stewart (founder of Caliber Truck Co.) as their new Skate Marketing Manager.

Good thing April Fools’ Day has already passed, because I don’t know what I would do if I found out that the Wriggle Dog Extreme Skateboard Enhancement Product was a hoax! Bonzing Board Co. appears to have created a performance enhancing drug specifically tuned to the demanding nature of dogwriggling*. I’m going to go out on a limb and ass-u-me that …

As you can see, the events are listed in chronological order. (This puts the San Pedro Shred: Festival of Skate way up there on the left! HINT HINT!) …
Rayne Longboards has a van a.k.a. a motorhome a.k.a. a “magical, motorized living room” a.k.a. Tiffany Minx. Miss Minx, as she is apparently oh-so-lovingly referred to, transports the Rayne crew where they need to go when they need to get there. The journey at hand covers the Rayne crew’s cruise from the 2012 Maryhill Freeride in …
Divine Wheel Co is making the dude typing this text very jealous with the release of their Ditches Be Crazy edit. It’s currently hovering around freezing in many locations on the east coast and the thought of riding curved pavement for what appears to be an eternity while wearing shorts and a tank top is beyond …
Landyachtz Longboards found skate spots off the beaten path and mingled with the locals during two weeks of racing in Puerto Rico. Something tells me that they (a) have been to PR before or simply (b) had a guide to all the sick spots ’round the island… Either way, we’re stoked to see how their trip went …
Switchback Longboards be blastin’ down the hills at high speeds all the live long day, and throwing down at rad events whenever the opportunity should arise. Their recent edit for the Saltspring Slip & Slide III should serve as proof of all of the above and then some. It would also appear that these dudes like …
2013 is destined to be a monumental year for the downhill racing scene: Eight race tracks, on four continents, have been selected and fine-tuned to make the IDF World Tour something to write home about. Or, perhaps more realistically, a reason to post sick edits. (Case-and-point seen above.) The 2013 IDF World Tour will kick off …
