Dylan Rieder, Natas, Greyson Fletcher, Ryan Wilson, Jack Fardell, Alex Gray, and Chippa Wilson apparently went to New Zealand and did their thing. Monster Children was there to hop on board and document a little of it. It looks like Team Average 2.0.

It’s the mainstream vs. the subculture in Drift this summer’s latest addition to the Hollywood surf movie cannon. The film follows the Kelly Brothers as they fight to surf and find success in the booming Australian surf scene of the 70s.
After their mother escapes from Sydney to Margaret River in the 1970’s, the two Kelly brothers spend their youth searching for the perfect wave. Out of necessity the family launch a backyard surf business – re-thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling merchandise out of their van. Battling big waves, small town conservatism and criminals, the brothers give rise to a global brand. A story of passion, corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, DRIFT tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.
Or something like that. The film reportedly opens August 2, 2013.

Ah yes, the backyard ramp. We’ve skated a few in our time. “After all the skate parks of the 1970’s closed down and before street skating took over, there was the backyard ramp. In part one of this episode, Grosso sits down with Lance Mountain to reminisce about the “golden age of the backyard ramp” in this edition of Jeff Grosso’s Love Letters to Skateboarding. Enjoy.

There was a time when all we’d skateboard on was Lib Tech Skateboards. And then they became too hard to find. Are those days over? We’re not sure, but we do know that Sky Siljeg knocks the teeth out of pretty much everything he skates. And, so what if he and Mikey “L’il Swayze” Swearingen, Chad Fenlon and Edwin Swagerty didn’t even leave the State of Washington on this tour, it’s still fun to watch from the safety of our command module.

We never get tired of watching Walker Ryan skate, that’s why this remix of Walker’s Perpetual Motion part is that much better. It’s like peeping it for the first time all over again. Only different. Sort of. Either way it’s smooth like glass.

Yes, Sewa Kroetkov’s manuals are so solid you could build a house of cards between his feet. If you wanna check out the rest of the Venture Trucks complete summer drop click the link. Otherwise, back to whatever it was you were doing.

We’ve been super stoked on big mountain Jeremy Jones’ sponsors lately. First he signed up with the American Pistachio Growers, then he got hooked up with Vermont Peanut Butter.
Now he’s taken to outrunning avalanches for The Silver Bullet. What’s worse is that his beer run is for some country singer who is likely recognizable among people who listen to that kind of music.
We can’t really fault him. He’s a great stuntman and light beer reportedly goes real well with nuts.

Kane Stewart, son of San Clemente, California’s longboard shaping icon Bill Stewart, is doing lead vocals in a band with his cousin Brad Shultz (of Cage The Elephant) called Plastic Visions. Their debut EP dropped on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 and this is their first single. It’s called Kamikaze and it sounds pretty good, like The Pixies. Watch the edit and you’ll see.
