In November I started writing the Shred Sessions article for Absolute Underground Magazine. Here's the first of hopefully many more.

Chapelle's first interview in 5 years

As a long time fan of Chapelle's Show, it's nice to hear from the guy after all the ghosting he's been doing over the past years.

Oulgh!

New short video of throw aways

Apologies/Excuses/B.M.

Sorry about the lack of posts, we've been out skating.

Canadians

An interesting segment brought to you by the shake junt posse while they were touring Canada.

55 Bay

It's been much too long since our last post, so to make up for it, we present to you the online debut of 55 Bay in its entirety. Enjoy!

Thomfoolery in Sooke

Going to Sooke this often is reminding me of when I first started skateboarding, at which point I was making the trip out to skate the park almost every weekend. Upon my most recent visit, I got to film a few tricks with Thom Munro, a local Sooke ripper who has a very unique trick selection. Enjoy...

Portland heroes

It's time for fresh spots again, this time it's a road trip to Portland. The crew has been rounded up, The Spot Bible is packed, and hell, Matt already left. Might as well watch these videos of some of the slayers who have come out of Portland over the years and get hyyyped for the trip. 2 more days.

dildo baggins

I've heard Cort say this before, and I thought it was pretty strange, but I guess there's more than a few of us mixing L.O.T.R character names with fucking.

Livin' the dream

It's our 100th post!

And I'm still eating shit

Koston - Constantly killing

Cort gave me the heads up on this one. Look at the incredible style on this "J-Peps," from Koston. I certainly have never seen this on a hubba.

Sooke 'till you puke

We went out to Sooke yesterday to check out the park additions that we had yet to skate, and made use of all of them. It was a blast and I can surely say that my next visit to Sooke will be sooner than the last one. And, while some of us were close, we left Sooke before any puking took place. Here's the footage:

prerogative women

I had forgotten about this until I came across it while bathing in the filth of the SLAP boards today. Fittingly, Mike Gordon used to have this board and would rave about the provocative woman on the bottom. I feel like he surprised us with it on a road trip once.

vee dub

Our homey Cyrus recently released a montage he filmed at vic west over the last little while. The video features a wide variety of Victoria's skateboarding talent, including the likes of 55 Bay. Peep it and enjoy.

Tilt Mode 'zine new issue!

The newest issue of the Tilt Mode Army's web mag is out now, check it out.

Hubba Hideout RIP Jan. 15, 2011

Willie Nelson plea bargin

Willie Nelson got roasted with some weed down in Texas, but being a local hero, he might be able to clear his charges by paying $100 and performing a song in the courtroom. This is the article. Also, Willie talks to Larry King about being high on his show, see below.

Pony skateboards

A good friend of mine recently showed me this website, it's chalk full of $100+ decks with some pretty neat-o graphics. No homo.

More NBDs

This guy stood out the most to me when I first saw him in the Right Foot Forward montage. Backside nosepick on a handrail, anyone?

Nate Dogg R.I.P.

O.G. Dogg Pound member and notorious hook man, Nate Dogg brought us some of the greatest rap choruses of all time, not to mention the legendary phraise "Hey-ey-ey-ey, smoke weed every day." So naturally it was a sad day in hip-hop history yesterday when Nate died at the age of 41. For those unfamiliar with the beautifully deep voice of the Nate D-O double G, here are a few songs he held down the chorus for, pour some out and enjoy.

Parksville

Some crappy skatepark writings I encountered while in P-Ville





Doesn't it seem a bit early to write-off the whole year?

Deeec wallride

I remember watching an Antiz video from back in the day, but hadn't heard anything from them since, until I stumbled upon this ad:

This is what happens when you are sick and sit at home for 3 days

Gooey

I didnt really think that this was possible but there is no limit to where skating can go anymore, as we have all been shown but this is the kind of thing we like to see and its super sick

New Mike V

Mike v killin it like always...................................................fuckin loser

Arto is back on flip. Read it in Thrasher today.

More Think Love

Awhile back, we expressed our Think love through a post on here. Our hopes of another similar ad were fulfilled and then some with a Russ switch flip banger. Makes me wanna return to Frisco. Think Golden.

New Highest Ollie

Right now in skateboarding, everything is being taken to new heights, fast. Even the measly ol' ollie hasn't reached its pinnacle, Aldrin Garcia recently broke the world record of 44.5 inches with a 45 inch monster snapper. Here's the footy:

OneSix Game of S.K.A.T.E.

Couldn't think of a better way to spend a winter day than playing a game of S.K.A.T.E with allll the homies. Thanks to Nick @ OneSix for putting this on, hopefully it happens again soon. Click right ^ here ^ to see the video coverage of the event. In related news, we derived some inspiration from this, so you may see a 55 Bay hosted Game of S.H.I.T.E in the near future. Better practice gettin' dirty.


Finally got my wheels on this beauty ^

Who Cares?

What ever happened to Carlos Ruiz?

Fun fact: He back lipped El Toro

Look Closer

Sammy killin' it down under

While it may be Winter here, the Aussies are enjoying their summer. Looks like Sammy Winter is especially enjoying it, snagging the cover of this Oz mag with a snappy ollie.
