Welcome to our latest Weekly Wrap-Up skate-news collection featuring news, videos, photos that our crew has collected & assembled here so you don’t have to get lost in the white-noise that is the wide world of interwebs. Checkka-checkka-check it out:
Let’s start our hefty video mash-up this week with this wild Krux Truck Co. edit featuring rider Jeff Dechesare doing triple flips down double-sets and 360 inward heel flips off of huck-worthy gaps. Remember Bruno from Spain? —that dude who skates hills and also the streets like a champ? We’ll he’s back from wherever he was and Loaded Boards just dropped this follow-run of him ripping down a hill in the north of Spain. We’re always stoked when Jenkem drops a new vid on their channel, and this one, in collaboration with Slam City Skates, which is the fourth installment of our Regulate Series, all shot in the chuddy streets of London, is a tasty and raw street edit. NCDH just dropped this moody and speedy black and white edit called Thunderclap and featuring the east coast speed boarding/mountain road riding/DH of Garrett Gourle. If you were def since birth would you have the confidence to bomb hills like a champ? Sergio Evans of Spain ain’t scared to drop in and charge hard. We mentioned the “Carving Systems” dudes above, but we’ll mention em here again because their Loaded TV #3 just dropped and we love it.
