Yes, the shoe giants will try nearly anything to get you to buy a pair of their sporting footwear posing as skate shoes. adidas is even willing to rewrite the history of one of tennis’ greatest living legends and present Stan Smith (yes, that one) as a long closeted skateboarder. Watch, laugh, cry, and then go buy the same pair of shoes that you always buy. And if they’re adidas, score one for the snarky adidas marketing team!

If you think about it right turn left turn is about what it all boils down to.
“Right Turn Left Turn” looks at the season of five snowboarders exploring the art of turning and everywhere it leads them. From a beginner’s side slide to the perfect high speed carve Think Thank Special Projects aims to show how the simple act of turning your board can unlock an entire universe of snowboard self expression.

We’ve seen Leticia Bufoni skate and she kills. She’s won the women’s World Cup State street title four times. Now, she’s dropping a little something else in the pages of Men’s Health & Fitness Brazil. “Confira maid foots da garota MH de fevereiro,” it says. Apparently, that means “Check out more photos of the MH February Girl.” So we did and we’re having a rough time connecting these photos with the girl we used to see bombing the street course in black jeans, a tank top, and a black bandana . . click the link for the rest .

Legendary skateboard photographer Jody Morris has collected his photos into an elegant, lovely hard bound book titled 20plus. Featuring photos from two decades of skateboarding 20plus is a necessary addition to every skate library.
Here’s what skateboarding documentarian Sean Mortimer has to say about the book:
Morris’ unifying love of skating is clearly seen through his images as Skid Row skaters are snapped alongside legends like Tony Hawk and Danny Way. Morris’ close relationship with his subjects allows for rare images of iconic skaters lounging in graffiti scrawled tour vans, shredding abandoned buildings, avoiding dessert dust storms. . . It’s Morris’ rare ability to blend the culture into the action that makes him one of the most sought after action sports photographers. With over 70 magazine covers to his name, 20 PLUS is loaded with definitive images from an insulated culture.
20plus is available online at Half Acre Paper for $39.95. Click the link to purchase, or follow the jump for more info. [click to continue…]
