Comet Skateboards: Introducing the “Marcus Bandy” Ltd. Edition Guest Model
Our friends over at Comet Skateboards have just released the first two boards in their new Guest Boards series. One of these boards is for Noah Sakamoto and the other is for our editor in chief, Marcus Bandy. Marcus’s board is called A Sheer Rad Occurrence and its design “incorporates the principals of raw, street skating alongside an inclination towards the riding of pools, spillways, and winding roads.“ Hell yeah!!!! This deck is Limited Edition, and only 500 boards will ever be produced. Peep the above intro video and then make sure to check out the specs and details on how to get your hands on one of these badboys:

Video: Rayne “K Rimes Road to Recovery”
The road to recovery is one hell of a battle, both physically and mentally. Kevin Reimer already knows this and he has risen to the challenge. After his injury last year, K-Rimes got straight to work and put in the hours to stretch, strengthen and push his new ankle to the limits. Mr. Kevin Reimer is back on the scene and looking crispy and clean in this latest Rayne video release. peep it!
Video: (Tennessee/Kansas/Illinois) Landyachtz Midwest Tour
Fresh from Guff’s Oven is the third video featuring Landyachtz’s Midwest Tour. Have you ever caught a jumping Asian carp with a bow and arrow? Well, these dudes have.
Out of Ohio, the van gets well-fitted with some fireworks, fills up with some proper BBQ, and skates some local gems. They had to say goodbye to Billy, but don’t worry—we have a feeling he’ll be back.
From here on out the van goes west for Buffalo Bill and the tour keeps rollin’. . .
