The bell curve of toilet humor’s hilarity, for most of us anyway, seemed to peak at a time in which our older sibling’s 11pm curfew was to-die-for. Does that mean crude humor can’t be brought back to life in forms other than doodlings of genitalia on the back of your friend’s homework? Sure. And also …
DUDES! Today is the day! “What day?” It’s International Polar Bear Day! Why all the excitement, you ask? Well, aside from a seemingly more mainstream goal for today’s festivities, Bear Trucks is offering two lucky individuals some free Polar Bear Trucks, for a small amount of effort. The “lucky” one will receive a set of Polar Bear trucks …

That’s all the info we’ve got at this time, but for being such a big part of the skateboarding event scene over the past …
Wheels are to skateboards what tasty beverages are to a well-balanced meal at your favorite fast-food joint. You can stick to a classic cola or you can get whacky and mix Orange Soda with Dr. Pepper only to find out that it tastes like something you’d force your little brother or sister to drink because …
Coming in hot from the land down under is the crew from Animal House Reference! These Aussies sure know how to maneuver lengthy skateboards and cameras. Matt Bates seems to be leading the pack on the former, while Kristian Farugia continues to hold it down on the latter. Their most recent edit The Machine Returns displays some of …
Back for the fourth year in a row, MuirSkate’s Downhill Disco (A Freeride Style Cones Race + Slide Jam) has evolved into a three day long cluster of events that is guaranteed to have something for everyone. Everyone, that is, who enjoys skateboarding on ramps, music, skateboarding on hills, more skateboarding on ramps, after-partying*, and shenaniganizations. This …
Sean Spees is no stranger to rad edits. This time around Sean and videocrafticizer Aviel Hod hoofed it out to Cowtown, a moderately remote hill somewhere in Northern California, to collect a clipstack of high speeds, big slides, and switch slides to boot. Sean rides for Original Skateboards and this happens to be the first edit to make it …

Caliber Truck Co.’s family gatherings seem to be a bit more exciting than most. The last family gathering I attended involved some serious Bunco sessions. Now, don’t get me wrong (it was awesome to see Grandma jumping up & down and to witness my uncle making baby noises) but I would much rather be skating …
…And suddenly, my current gloves feel uncomfortable. Summing it up more eloquently and compactiviously than I could at this moment in time, Loaded released the following chunk of text to whet the palms: Over several years of riding and crashing, our Goldilocks team of downhillers saw the need for a middle ground glove that was …
Wild for the night? What’s one night in the bucket of life? Hardly a drop. A week plus? Now we’re talkin’! It would appear that Hayden Conroy of Road Rider went wild for, like, ten whole days in America’s down under, aka Puerto Rico. I’m not gonna dig too far in to the “deeper” meaning behind this edit and/or …
If you’ve been keeping tabs on the industry over the past few months, it would come as no surprise for me to mention that our very own contributor, Peter Eubank, has recently joined up with a select few to comprise S-One Helmet Co.’s brand new Longboarding Team. (If this is news to you, click that link right there!) It …
Without a doubt, the best thing about skateboarding is everything about skateboarding. Big hills, little ditches, vice-versa, strike-that-and-reverse-it and all the obstacles in between seem to find some special place and purpose within the realm of the skateboarding world. Without getting ostrich deep or entirely too sappy on the topic, I’m just gonna let you …
Wanna know the best way to tell that spring is just around the corner? Take a guess. I’ll wait… Nope. It’s got nothing to do with a xenophobic muskrat. I can tell this is going to take a while, so I’ll just jump right in to it. Event announcement videos, dude! The one that’s got us the …
In an effort to satisfy the seemingly insatiable demands of the City of Angel’s up-and-coming downhill skateboarding scene, the Mountain of Angels Outlaw Race took place recently somewhere in the hills Los Angeles County. Being an area boasting a population of upwards of 18M residents, the greater LA area is destined to have some talent …
“Moronga Dust? Sick, dude, this video’s gotta have tons of ‘thane lines! …Oh, you meant like real dust?” *Skeptical Face* As we all come to learn over the span of a few sessions, patches of dust and dirt on the hill can make for some unpredictable slides. That is unless, clearly, the hill is covered entirely …
For the past 10 years, Hot Heels Africa has been bringing the thrill of downhill skateboarding to South Africa as a leg of the IGSA World Cup. Seeing that this event is older than your average third-grader, it should come as no surprise that the Official Hot Heels Africa 2012 Recap (crafted by Retroyspective) is a …
Releasing a new wheel seems to be a hit or miss as of late. Some wheels may be too reserved in their design, while others may be a bit too “forward thinking”. What steps might a company follow ensure that they’re going hit the nail on the head with their new release? By doing precisely …
