Haters are all around us, especially in skateboarding. Shit, I’m a hater sometimes. In skateboarding, everyone has their own unique style, and it’s easy to bag on others that are different from yourself or your particular crew. Go to youtube and type in Tony Hawk. Most of the comments will be straight hate—bet it doesn’t […]

Where has Kody Noble been lately? Well, he’s been shredding hard up in Montreal, Canada, and on all types of boards and terrain. Kody is what skaters like to call an ATV (All-terrain Vehicle). We’re pretty sure he’s riding four different boards in this video—long and short—he kills it on every one. Kody is […]

WARNING! 90% of this video does not feature riding down stairs! We are not too sure what to say about this crazy skateboard contraption, other than the dude that designed it (PoChih Lai ) most likely spent a fare share of his student loan money on the devil’s weed—which is totally cool—just sayin’. There’s also the begging question: “what […]

This is the best downhill video (see below), ever. Period! Wait, wait, wait—before you go off sending your hate mail to Wheelbase about how my opinion blows—give me a chance to explain myself. Being a skateboarding enthusiast I watch a lot of skate videos in order to get inspired to try new maneuvers, or just […]
Dear McLovin, I was browsing on Youtube recently and I came across a lot of videos of dogs riding skateboards. These get heaps of views for some reason. I think there are other animals that would shred a lot harder than a dog. If all animals could skate, which one would shred the hardest, and […]
