Antwuan Dixon brings Pat Rumney to the Weekend Buzz table and explains why he’s trying to live the straight and narrow. “I’d don’t feel like going back to jail. It ain’t fun. It ain’t cool.” Dixon also talks about the infamous Epicly Later’d profile and his soundboard (which still makes is laugh). As always the man’s wit comes through straight on.

After what seemed like weeks of waiting (ok, only three days), the Roxy Pro Biarritz is finally up and running in two- to three-foot surf.
“We’ve got a little bit of new energy in the swell that’s supposed to be building throughout the day” Dave Shipley, ASP Head Judge stated. “We’ll be starting this morning at 7.30am with Round 1 and move pretty cleanly through Round 2 & 3 today with the likelihood of solid surf tomorrow to finish up.”
And that’s right now. Follow the jump for the official word and heat line-ups, or click play to watch it right here in the comfort of your own Boardistan.com. [click to continue…]

Ignoring for a moment the fact that very few skateboarders in the world dream of riding a skateboard down a set of stairs, Po-Chih Lai’s Stair Rover is an interesting design. Here’s what the artist Po-Chih says about it:
The piece aims to expanding the capability and possibility of extreme sports as we understand them. Inherited from our natural instincts, sliding as children and snowboarding as adults, the focus is on one of the most influential and stimulating sports – skateboading, aiming to push the boundaries further. The piece creates a groundbreaking form of sport which previously never existed and utilises the hidden energy of our cities – stairs. STAIR ROVER – the Stairboard is a product that relies on the other product – stairs, which are found easily within the human habitat, especially in cities. This is an outstanding performance reflecting where we as residents live and what we love.
Reminds us that art is what artists do.
