SKBSG SK8 NEWS UPDATES


Josh Brooks

The premiere took place at The Grove theater in Anaheim, which looked like something out of a Hollywood movie.
Flip's premiere of "Extremely Sorry," the video that took six years to complete and is the final installment of the Sorry trilogy, and got some interviews with a few of the riders. Click read more down below to watch them.

As for the video, it's too soon for me to say anything of worth. I'm letting it sink in and I want to see it again.

Congrats! You're gettin' paid!


Morgan Smith kind of came out of nowhere a few years ago, ending up on Blind and, to me at least, typifying the type of skating I grew up watching in the '90s—baggy pants, super tech tricks, consistency—but in today's era. Not only is he good at skateboarding, but he's from the often and unfortunately over-looked Toronto scene. So I caught up with him to learn more about him, Toronto and the '90s-influenced skating that I think I forced him to admit he does, by repetition...kind of how he warms u
