The Globe Liberty shoe features Halo 4 details including Master Chief Petty Officer John’s green armor color, his “117” service number as well as the United Nation Space Command branding on the tongue and heel. The Liberty also has the phrase “Spartans never die” embroidered in the inner tongue of the distressed leather skate shoe. . . The Halo Globe cruiser skateboard pays tribute to the legendary science fiction game franchise with a bottom graphic of the Master Chief back on the Pillar of Autumn where it all began, along with a “10-Year Anniversary” metal badge.
Didn’t know you needed special shoes to sit around on the couch all day and play video games? We’re obviously not properly kitted.
We’ve all seen his odd videos filled with strangely impossible often ugly yet occasionally amazing skateboarding tricks, but who has really stopped taken the time to let Todd Falcon tell his own story? Well, this week Michael Sieben interviews Falcon for Vice.com. And what he finds out is equally Falonesque.
Because I have been inventing since 1985 and kept a typed list of the tricks, I know it ends at 2,155, which is a zombie 360 varial to truck driver to Jokerflip 1/4 to primo to double flip to primo, 50-50. That was a ramp combo. (A zombie is a fakie tail stall to Falconplant.) . . . Not only do I have a typed list, but I have each and every trick on video and each session was dated starting from 1988 to present—the library of tapes is massive. I wanted to document each trick and the day it was landed.
And yes, there’s much more where this came from. Click the link and check it.

Airlines are hard on things—bags especially. Burton’s Wheelie Flight Deck is made to get your gear home and back in one piece. The well thought out, bulletproof airline approved carry-on rolls smooth thanks to Burton’s skate-style IXION wheels and features a removable laptop bag perfect for grabbing some last minute in-flight entertainment.
Available in six color ways including a True Black style, this bag should be in everyone’s travel quiver whether they’re taking their first trip or on their 50th cruise.
We’ve been rocking an older version of this bag for years, gone thousands of miles and it’s still rolling, but this year’s Bombay Block Party print (right) has thinking about an upgrade.
The Wheelie Flight Deck retails for $219.95. We recommend that you click to buy.
Yep. Apparently, Alana Smith became the second girl ever to do a McTwist. We’re not really into glorifying trick progression, but sure a 12-year-old girl landing a trick that guys have been doing for 28 years is good right? It happened at Saturday, November 3, 2012 at the “exposed” women’s skate contest at the YMCA in San Diego. Congrats, Alana. You’re good.
Let’s face it. The Weekend Buzz was built for Dustin Dollin and we can’t believe it’s taken so long to get his belly up to Rob Brink and Erica Yary’s bar. Guy could probably be on the show every week without running out of stories (or mixes). That’s probably why this episode is only part one with Beagle. Check it.
