Thought we skipped Gary Rogers and Skateline this week? Nah, we just late.

Skateboarding
In an effort to help you spend at least an hour of your Friday correctly (if you haven’t seen it before), we present Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy in its entirety (plus a little advertising). It’s the story of Brewce Martin and the infamous Skatopia.
Skatopia’s owner, Brewce Martin, dreamed of a place where he could live and breathe skating… a place where people forget their “outside” lives by plunging into high-energy craziness. A continual work-in-progress, this rural farm is a mecca for skaters who want to live outside society’s rules.
Enjoy. Oh, and don’t forgot, this is still going on. Bowl Bash 18 runs June 20-23, 2013.

Don’t think we’ll ever get tired of watching skaters attempt anything at El Toro. But theses edits are especially compelling when the warrior ends his attempts with a “Ow, fuck, fuck . . . I’m done dude, oh god. God dammit, fuck. . . ” Those were, however, some seriously valiant attempts.

Lifeblood Skateboards is “honored and proud” to welcome Josh Rodriguez to the team.
Josh visited Kevin Kowalski at his very own backyard bowl (which is more like a private skatepark) to rip though an afternoon upon the challenging and unique terrain nestled along the Oregon Coast. Ready for more concrete and pool block, Josh followed up with an evening skate session at Phil Tedder’s bowl before he flew back home the next morning. This young gun is on the rise!
Check the video and you’ll understand exactly why.

The ATL Twins, Brandon Biebel, Harmony and Rachel Korine, and Chad Muska all together following the premiere of Korine’s film Spring Breakers. Maybe someday we’ll understand why. Until then, we’ll just blame it all on Chris Nieratko.

Nick Tucker, the skater who grew up in SD and moved to LA, is now on Supra. And the team is hyped.
“I’ve known Nick since he was just a li’l guy coming up from San Diego,” fellow SUPRA team rider Kevin Romar said. “It’s dope to have a homie you’ve known for a long time on the same team as you. Congrats Nick, you earned it. Welcome to the team.”

Got three words for this skate stopper remover: stop, drop, and roll. Seems like a man so good with power tools would have learned that in kindergarten. Guess not.

In celebration of the Thrasher Magazine Death Match (March 15, 2013), Converse is releasing 240 pairs of this “limited-edition” Converse Texas CTS, apparently. Guess Orange is a big color in Texas sporting or something.
Performance features of the Converse Texas CTS include a molded, multi-density Lunarlon drop-in sockliner for extra comfort; abrasion-resistant suede; traction rubber vulcanized sole; and full memory foam in the collar and tongue for a true customized fit. . . Only 240 pairs of the Converse Texas CTS will be exclusively available in Texas and will be sold at Nice Kicks, Tekgnar, and Fast Forward for a suggested retail price of $65.
If only these things had a little, inset, white star on the side. We’d be all over them. Follow the jump for the official details. [click to continue…]

Confession: our first “real” skateboard was a purple, anodized aluminum Banzai Skateboard. Got it for Christmas after dreaming about it for months. It had both nose and tail kick long before it was cool. It rolled smoothly and quietly and it hooked us for life. Every feeling of stoke we had for that board, came flooding back when we saw Lost’s new Hesher Metal Cruisers. It appears we’re not the only one’s with anodized aluminum fantasies.
“The earliest memories from my skateboarding days in the 70’s are of riding my Banzai aluminum double kick skateboard,” said Matt “Mayhem” Biolos. “Flashy fun from the past is the polar opposite of all the plastic stuff so many brands are putting out. We wanted to do something special and exquisite.”
And it seems they have. The boards come in four anodized colors with laser cut logos, translucent, color-matched wheels, and die cut grip. The Hesher Metal Cruisers are sold only as completes for $149 a pop. Banzai, indeed.
