Asher Bradshaw, the 9-year-old skateboarding wunderkinder has kind of blown the whole 900 thing up by landing it at his age. Say what you will about underground baby racing, but this is truly impressive.

Robbie Brockel, Davis Torgerson and Jack Olson serve up some good, old fashioned Wrecking Crew action in the ditches of the great American Southwest. Kinda makes you wanna hit the road to flash flood country, doesn’t it?

The launch of the new Vans.com site has even Steve Van Doren looking a little confused. Luckily, Vans President Kevin Bailey has a good handle on it:
“It was imperative going into the new site development that we merge Vans storytelling and brand content while showcasing all of our product categories in the most comprehensive way for our consumers,” Bailey said. “The new Vans.com allows consumers to engage with our brand, find the product they want and from there, locate a store, buy online or purchase however they choose.”

During a break in the 2014 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro Smith Optic surfers CJ Hobgood and Yadin Nicol took some time to make some good days great. And it worked pretty well, apparently.

Here’s a normal clip of an average old guy throwing down ten tricks on the mini at Camp Woodward. What is special about this edit (aside from the blunts) is that the skater, Bret Anthony Johnston, is the director of creative writing at Harvard and his debut novel (Remember Me Like This) just dropped on May 13, 2014.
Now, watch that edit again. Yep, Johnston may be the best literary fiction writing skateboard professor in the world. If that isn’t enough reason for you to check out his book, then here’s a review from the Washington Post. Oh, and both John Irving and Tom Perrotta liked Remember Me Like This as well. If you know them, then you know.

We’ve been trying to figure out why we like Madars Apse’s web series It’s A Mad World, and all we can come up with is that it’s fun to see America through the eyes of someone from Eurolandia. Seriously. In this episode (we don’t know the number) Madars heads to the American Southwest and enjoys some of the most spectacular views the world has on offer. ..oh, and there’s some skating, too.

Christian Hosoi has taken his iconic Hammerhead skateboard design and transformed it into a surfboard with a little help from the heads at the UNIV Work Shop, in Encinitas, California. Here’s how they tell it:
The collaboration was born in 2013 and then Christian came down to our UNIV Work Shop in Encinitas, California and the first Hammerhead surfboard was shaped. The original is 5’5” by 22” and is true to scale to the skateboard dimensions. With a hulled-out nose, deep single to double concave, sharp rail and four-fin setup, the Hammerhead is designed for high performance surfing and flow.
Looks like a big skateboard for the waves, right? For the official word from UNIV, follow the jump.
