If you missed the live webcast of the infamous day the 2012 Volcom Fiji Pro didn’t run (June 8, 2012), then VeeCo has been nice enough to clip a little edit together so we can all watch it up close and personal.
British Columbia’s Mischo Erban has just broken the Guinness World Record for speeding down a hill standing up on a skateboard by going 80.74 mph, according to a story on Engadget.com. Yep, looks pretty fast. Straight, boring, but fast.
Transworld Surf’s Chris Cote is doing a great job on the International Surfing Day web-a-thon, but his “popular swimwear model” co-host Susan Holmes-McKagan does not appear to be having much fun. But it’s early. We’re sure it will get better as the day grinds on.
Who knew the “world’s best wave pool” was in the middle of a Middle Eastern desert? Apparently, Globe knew and they shared it with Dion Agius (or was it vise versa?):
A few weeks back, Dion Agius and crew embarked on a journey to the Middle East. A journey for waves. A journey that would bring Dion to unleash on the world’s best man made wave. A studio for surfing. Smack in the middle of a desert mountain range in a foreign land.
There was a concept. A concept involving 10 Russian models, a Lamborghini, and Dion boosting virtually every air in the book, plus a couple new ones. Electric blue water contrasting against wild mountainous backdrops.
We’ve always been impressed by the way the crew at Agenda has been able to pull together great graphics, logos, etc. . . for all their shows, but we never really looked past that too much. Apparently, real artists are at work behinds the scenes. Dabs & Myla designed the poster for the Agenda Show Long Beach. Here’s their story. (Be warned, it’s a love story.)
Nyjah Huston kept his flawless ways rolling this weekend in Ontario, California as he topped the qualifiers and then grabbed top spot in Street League Skateboarding #2 (click here to watch it all if you missed it). Pretty soon they’re going to have to call this the Nyjah League. Does anyone else have a chance?
Tonight, the Street League gets down to qualifier business at 7 PM PST live from Ontario, California. The big question on everyone’s mind–will Nyjah Huston continue his fat wallet project? We’re going to say yes. Finals are Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 5:45 PM PST. In the meantime, check out a little practice action from DC Shoes. Click here to watch it live online.
