Watching this Todd Falcon clip (which is promo’d as “the first new Todd Falcon footage in 5 years) reminds us of the stereotypic movements of the Fossa at the San Diego Zoo. Locked in a small cage for far too long the Fossa simply runs through a series of motions over, and over, and over. Kind of like Todd’s primo double flips.
Two questions (from the sea of questions that wash over us while watching this video): Why can’t Mr. Falcon simple roll up into Primo without stepping off every time? And doesn’t stepping off the board and flipping it around kind of negate the whole “34 in a row” claim?
Our goggle requirements have always been pretty simple: if the lenses keep branches, snow, and ice from hitting us in the eyeballs without fogging and we can see out of them without squinting, we’re stoked. That said, these new Dragon APX winter eye coverings look pretty dope.
Here’s what Dragon says:
. . . the APX goggle has proven to withstand the harshest, most technically demanding conditions. The flagship product of the line, the APX goggle,literally redefines what a goggle can be with our new patent pending Infinity Lens Technology. By completely eliminating the frame profile with this innovative lens system, the APX goggle has maximum peripheral vision and the highest level of performance. LESS IS MORE…APX
For those of you who didn’t watch a lick of the Caffeinated Corn Syrup Tour Salt Lake City here are the bullet points: Ryan Decenzo slayed the street course and Shaun White lost the vert contest. If you’d like a little more detail than that follow the jump for the results. [click to continue…]
Ever wanted to lock up your skateboard to a bike rack after a roll to the store? Yeah, we never have either. But that hasn’t stopped San Diego, California inventor Tom Piszkin from coming up with the “Valet My Stick” skateboard lock, according to a story on First Coast News.
“Theaters don’t want skateboards in, restaurants don’t want skateboards in, a classroom gets cluttered with skateboards, so there are lots of places where they are starting to be restricted,” he says. . . Piszkin came up with the ideal solution. . . It’s like a bicycle cable lock, but with a loop big enough to go around the skateboard truck, or axle.
To quote the skater interviewed, “I never really actually thought about a skateboard lock.” And neither has anyone else.
Ashbury has a new am. His name is Justin Fronius here he is in an edit by Working for the City’s Jon Stark. If we knew anything more about it, we’d tell you for sure.
The day after Irene stormed through New Jersey (August 28, 2011) a few Belmar Beach surfers decided that they couldn’t just watch all those waves go by unridden so they did what any surf starved Jersey boys would do: they made a run for it.
This collection includes a three-tee collaboration series with photographer Tobin Yelland, featuring three of the artist’s photos which seek to capture skateboarding lifestyle of the early ’90s.
Laura Enever, Tyler Wright, and the girls roll up and send the boys packing in the short film LunchBreak by Fran Derham, according to a story in the Tweed Daily News.
“First Love gave us the idea to make a more drama-based film. It’s a four-minute short film, normally in surfing films you don’t get many story lines. It’s just music video after music video.” . . Ms Derham said the film will hopefully appeal to a mainstream audience and not just to the surfing elite.
Has a bit of an outsider feel, but definitely worth checking out.
