With all the destruction that Sandy caused it’s good to see that some Florida surfers got something good out of here. Cavin Brothers from Colorblindmedia.com offer up this little collection of Sandiness.
Not sure there is anything else we need to say about this other than Tony and radio show host and author Jason Ellis sit around, tell stories from their times together, poopy pants, and eat bugs. Yum.
Haven’t been up to Tahoe’s Alpine Meadows in a while? Maybe this spring shred edit starring Toni Kerkela will cause you to think twice about it next time.
Here, let Nike and some energy drink with a cow on it rub your face in their big, bulbous, bulging wallets and show you how epic snowboarding looks when they spend way, way, too much money to “get the shot.”
Hey, I know let’s film Austin Smith juggling eggs in Phantom slo-mo. How rad will that be? Then you throw a boot in a snow storm with Danny Kass standing behind it throwing horns and going “Arrrrrggggghhhh.” Oh my gawd.
On Saturday while we were rolling a quiet bowl and casually carving pumpkins the rest of the Southern California skate world was at Bucky Lasek’s house for the annual Bucky’s Bowl-B-Q. Here’s a little of what you missed.

The next time we’re asked “what’s wrong with today’s college students” we’ll point to this video of an entitled, bratty, obnoxious, rude, cargo-short wearing, flipflop sporting longboarder on his way to class. It is obvious that this kid should have been spanked as a toddler. Sadly, he’ll likely end up the CEO of a major corporation, because these are the skills American business seems to appreciate.
The Danny Way Waiting For Lightning bio-pic officially hits theaters (and digital downloads) on December 7, 2012.
Waiting For Lightning is the inspirational story of visionary skateboarder Danny Way. The film follows the journey of a young boy from a broken home in Vista, CA, whose passion for skateboarding would one day bring him fame and a lifetime of accomplishments. Way’s drive has no limits as exemplified by his creation captured on screen, a ramp of prodigious and dangerous proportions, across many cultural and ideological boundaries to attempt the impossible: jump China’s Great Wall on a skateboard. It’s a film about how much abuse the body can sustain, how deep you have to dig to survive the challenges life presents, and how high and far dreams can fly.
