“For the past few years, I”ve been running around the globe so much that I’ve missed out on the institution that is the East Coast backyard bbq. It’s in my blood. So simple and yet so fun. It’s been a daily occurrence on this leg of the trip. Camping out with all the bros at Freddy’s grandma’s house, spending nights by the fire, reflecting on the waxing and waning of the moon, and spots searching around in-between demos and signings. Morale is high.”—Keed Reed

Check in with the Flip team as they make their way through Europe on a mission of carnage, brutality and good ol’ fashion skateboarding. They started at Copenhagen Pro and they are currently riding in “das Sprinter” van across Germany in search of the most epic spots and late night watering holes, with a demo/signing in between all of the chaos. In a few days they will be making their way to Spain to conquer the mighty streets of Barcelona, so stay tuned for the next update.

“I’m excited and honored to have Wenning aboard Selfish to be the first link to building our team. He’s one of the pros that I enjoyed watching skate. He has a classic style and has been an innovator for as long as he’s been around. I look forward to building off of this foundation and extending our team” - Jereme Rogers



The KR3W team held it down and put on a gnarly demo for the Chicago crowd on the second to last stop of the 2010 Zumiez Couch Tour. Lizard King, Erik Ellington, Greg Myers, Furby, Jim Greco and Boo Johnson killed it, Muska held it down on the mic and announced, and the top 5 skaters of the Chicago Best Foot Forward ripped following the demo. Miles Canevello came out on top in Chicago skating everything on the course with speed and great style.
1st place: Miles Canevello
2nd place: John Oskvarek
3rd place: Steve Villarreal
Krew also released a video of the demo, check it out.

Last night was the launch party for the 15 Yearés Of Photoés book by Atiba Jefferson at Space 15TWENTY in Hollywood. Being a photographer myself, I really look up to Atiba, because his photographs are not only amazing, but a majority of them are iconic photographs that have been embedded in my brain. The book is filled with all of them and then some, many which are a part of TransWorld SKATEboarding history. Everybody who wasn’t out of town made it out in support of 15 Yearés Of Photoés, and had a great time. The book is out in bookstores and skateshops now, you know you’ve been waiting 15 Yearés to get it!

SKBSG NEWS UPDATES

The Almost Team rolled into Denver with almost the whole team, except for Daewon Song. The legendary Rodney Mullen showed up as the anchor, and Chris Haslam lead the way in the demo. Lewis Marnell destroyed the double-set with super tech tricks, landing consistently and properly on bolts every time. Ricky Webb skated great, flipping into the hubba with crooks and back tail. Cooper Wilt, Justin Schulte, and Ray Maldonaldo put together some great lines all over the course too.

The Zumiez Best Foot Forward Am Contest Series Results:
1. Julian Christianson.
2. Phil Hansen.
3. Matt Pennington.
Denver has one of the best skate scenes in the country; great spots and great skaters, so we knew this stop would be amazing. Every time the Zumiez Best Foot Forward tour stops in Denver, that winner always makes the top 3, and moves on to the HH Finals at X Games, so we’ll see how they do this year. A lot of familiar names showed up again, and youngsters Phil Hansen and Wyatt Milhollan just keep getting better and better with a bigger bag of tricks and big-man style. Phil got 2nd and barely beat out Matt Pennington who got 3rd and the New Era Originator of the Day by laying down some serious hammers, like a 360 hardflip, which has never been done on the tour. Two-time HH Finals winner, Julian Christianson continued his unbeaten streak in Denver with his switch, nollie, 270, flip and shuv variations all over the course. Julian is tough to beat, so we’ll see how he does on July 1st in Minneapolis.

Bear with us, YouTube embedding is being funky today, but you can still click on the images and peep the vids on the ‘Tube.
This weeks YouTubes are dedicated to my main man out in Paris, Mister Chasone who sent me a link to Kein Rodriguez’ part in the newish Nozebone video and suggested that I do a skate shop video themed YouTube section. Skate shops are the life blood of skateboarding, please support your skater owned shops with your hard earned cash, they have your back way harder than mall chain stores and will put the money you give them back into making local videos or hooking up local kids instead of into the down payment on a red convertible sports car. Without further ado, kicking of with Chas’ man Kevin Rodriguez:
YouTube Preview 
Image How gnarly was this part when it came out?! How gnarly would this part still be if it came out in ten year’s time?! This has to be one of the all time greatest video parts on the planet, from Coliseum skate shop, the always-face-melting PJ Ladd:
YouTube Preview 
Image RDS skate supply has grown into something way bigger than just a shop, but I’m putting this one in there because I’m backing Ryan Smith hard and I remember this period when he was coming up and every month he had something sick come out in a magazine somewhere. The description says it all: “Hard hitting Canadians.”
YouTube Preview 
Image FTC has dropped more memorable skate videos than any other shop; this is from their first video Finally filmed and edited by Aaron Meza, featuring some serious finesse from Mike Carroll.
YouTube Preview 
Image
Finishing off this week with two links from the same video, Dan Wolfe had such a massive influence on skateboarding with his sick filming and editing style and pinnacle East Coast videos, it seems only proper that he closes us out with a double whammy from back in the day. Have a good weekend and support skater owned shops:

Quiksilver Canada Tour Blog Day 2
Words & photos by Matt Ramirez
Day two in Montreal had something planned but it was cancelled, so that means we just get to skate and film. Two problems to start off the day—1, Reese is still MIA with a gnarly flu. And 2, Danny’s board is on the Quiksilver bus and the bus is nowhere to be found, or lost, or something. We’re still not sure. We waited in front of the hotel for a couple hours and decided to cab it to the first spot. Here’s a tip for traveling in Montreal: If the hotel calls you a cab, make sure you know exactly how many cabs they called and use them all. The hotel asked for too many cabs twice, and the one cab driver that comes up empty gets mad, really mad.
The first spot is at the top of Montreal. It’s all marble ground, ledges, and stairs and you can see the entire city. It’s also kind of crowded with tourists and the sun bounces of the marble ground into your face. It’s a cool spot, but some of the guys aren’t feelin’ it. Riley gets a couple shots on the ledge and we were over it. Jordan Hoffart and some of the guys wanted to stay at the spot, while a few of us decided to break out to skate around the city.
Back at the hotel, still no bus, and Danny still doesn’t have a board. So, Dario from Canada hooks us up with a zip zinger and we’re off. Skating around Montreal is fun, but it’s also like a real life game of Frogger. The drivers here are sketchy. They drive fast and have no patience for anyone, especially seven guys skating through traffic. Tory Goodall is a new Quiksilver Canada team rider and our guide through the city. He rolled his ankle the day before we showed up so we didn’t get to skate with him. But he’s a good guy and down to spend the day on a bike so we can find some stuff to skate. Leeper and Riley got some shots at the last spot and we were done. Kind of a frustrating day, but there’s good news back at the hotel. The bus finally showed up, Danny has a board, the Laker game is on at 9:00, and Reese Forbes is back on his feet. Tomorrow we have a shop signing and demo at big indoor park. Should be fun.

Most guys start off a new spot with a grind, Riley starts off a new spot with a front blunt

Cruising through Montreal can be sketchy, just stay on the bike road and you should be fine

Riley killed time on this little spot while we waiting for our tour guide
