Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Update

by The Editors on March 5, 2025

Because, you know. Of course we all need the THPS 3+4 reboot. Plus, you can play it on a PS4. Still. Plus, Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright and Yuto Horigome. . . but reportedly no Bam Margera. Huh? Still haven’t played the 1+2 reboot all that much. Oh well. Guess we’ll be able to wait until the alleged release in July 2025.

Stacy Peralta Explains His Skateboard Art

by The Editors on October 21, 2024

We all know the art Stacy Peralta has created on his skateboard, on video, and film, but now he’s creating paintings about skateboarding. In this documentary, Against The Current, he explains it all.

Stacy shares his various inspirations from childhood to present day, and the challenges and lessons learned while working to develop this new visual language in his iterations of these tools of joy from the past. . . The work also explores his temporal and obsessive relationship to the skateboard collection that intrinsically holds the memories of those ephemeral halcyon days. As well as the decay and degradation that entropy and time have on our prized possessions, and even ourselves.

Spend a couple minutes to watch it. Then, roll up the coast to Cambria, California and check out his art show at Cruise Control Contemporary gallery.

Jannard Sells Malibu “Home” for $210 Million

by The Editors on June 19, 2024

Jim Jannard, the action sporting genius entrepreneur behind Oakley BMX/motorcycle grips, glasses, and, more recently, Red Digital Cinema has reportedly sold his Malibu, California beach home for $210 million according to a story in the New York Post. This apparently breaks the record for most expensive home sale in California state history: a record formerly held by the Jay-Z/Beyoncé Corporation at $200 million.

This 15,000-square-foot stunner sprawls across 9.5 acres of prime clifftop land, boasting a private 300-foot stretch of ocean near El Pescador State Beach. . . The palatial pad includes eight bedrooms, a staggering 14 bathrooms, a massive courtyard, a gym and two guesthouses. . . Interiors designed by Michael S. Smith — the same guy who revamped the Oval Office at the White House — feature ornate columns, beamed ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling steel and glass windows. . . The backyard includes a lush lawn and a pool with ocean views.

Work hard kids, and all this can be yours.

The Tampa Bay Times checks in on the Tampa skateboarding scene from Ryan Clements’ dream driveway to Brian Schaefer’s the SPoT with all the heads, shops, skaters, and manus in between, thanks to some clever reporting by Paul Guzzo.

Tampa Bay is a global hub for the skateboarding industry. It’s where the modern skateboard was designed, where a historic skatepark is located, where a major skateboard competition is held every year.

Click the link and remind yourself that regardless of the current times, Florida still has a few good things going for it.
