Shake Junt releases official Chicken Bone Nowison commercial

The fuckups over at Shake Junt have been working on a video for just about as long as they can't remember. The title for the cinematic masterpiece-to-be is Chick Bone Nowison. Brilliant. And if the title wasn't enough, they even recorded a rap song with the same title. As you can imagine, "Chicken Bone Now-its-on" are pretty much the only lyrics to the song but its pretty friggin classic nonetheless. Its in the video. Check it out.

Air Force One Macedonia

From: TetonGravityResearch

This week's episode of Almost Live joins Dash Longe and Dylan Hood in Macedonia as they lay down first descents with the help of a Macedonian police helicopter. As Dash describes, "It turned out to be two police officers flying us around in a police bird...pretty rad." One For The Road Almost Live is a web series that follows the TGR production team and athletes around the globe as they shoot their 2011 ski film, One For The Road. It provides insight into the lives of the world's top riders as we take an inside look at what goes into first descents, building and hitting massive backcountry jumps and traveling throughout the most exotic locales on the planet. "Almost Live" plants you on location with our crew in the middle of the action. Stay tuned throughout the season and watch the drama unfold.

Lensbaby Scout Fisheye review



I have been needing a fish-eye lens for my new Canon T2i HDDSLR for a while, so I was stoked when Lensbaby offered to send me their Scout fisheye to review. I had been looking at the verious 8mm fisheyes which provides a 180 degree field of view like the now classic death lens. The Scout is a 12mm lens and not quite as wide with a 160 degree field of view but is a lot cheaper than most fisheyes. As part of Lensbaby’s Optic Swap system, the fisheye optics can be switched out for other optics like pinhole or plastic lens. If you already have a compatible Lensbaby, you can buy the fisheye optic by itself saving around $100. I had been using the GoPro HD hHero for fisheye shots but that has it’s own limitations. Here is an unscientific comparison of the VX-2000 with a century .3X fisyeye, the GoPro, and the Scout.




I was impressed that the Scout was made of metal and has a very solid feel. The vignettes on the edges give images an early 90’s feel. The aperture is changed not with a ring like on other lenses but by switching out aperture disks. This requires you to unscrew the front element and drop the disk in place, a bit cumbersome when you are out in the streets but I doubt most people would need to change disks very often. I had a lot of fun shooting with a fisheye again and the Scout will likely be my go to fisheye for the foreseeable future.


If you are serious about shooting or filming skateboarding then you’ll want a wider, sharper, more expensive lens. If you are taking a more laid back approach and you think you may use other optics in the Lensbaby system then the Scout is worth considering. Below are a few skate shots taken with the Scout.

Alex Perelson and the tailgrab 900

Young lad Alex Perelson may have just immortalized his name into the pages of skateboarding history. He is already the youngest in an elite group of humans who have landed a 900 degree rotation on a skateboard. Tony Hawk, Giorgio Zattoni, Sandro Dias, and Bob Burnquist are some pretty impressive company.

Tony Hawk did it first in 1999, using a mute grab to hold his board to his feet during the intense rotation. Now Alex has added a new degree of difficulty by grabbing his tail.

Some may argue that a tail grab isn't thaaat hard, but i don't see those people doing two and a half rotations while ten feet above the coping of a 15 foot vert ramp. Check it out for yerself.

Co-founder of Thrasher magazine dies in S.F. suicide

On Monday Eric Swenson took his own life in front of the Mission police station in San Fransisco.

Swenson was an active icon in the skateboarding industry; co founder of Thrasher Magazine(1981) and Independent Trucks.(1978)

The articles and photos in Thrasher focused on this new generation of skateboarders and pushed the success of Independent Trucks by advertising its products.

Obviously stunned by the news Thrasher Magazine released a statement,
"People talk, but seldom act. Eric Swenson got things done. Never one to clamor for the spotlight, he preferred the hard work, orchestrating the show from behind the scenes. It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of a dear friend and one of our founders. His mark on skateboarding is extraordinary. Without him there would be no Thrasher Magazine, Independent trucks, or Spitfire wheels, to name a few. He leaves behind his wife Linda and sister Rebekah, along with a tremendous number of admirers."

Eric Swenson was 64.

Things you don't usually see

I recently read a surfing book that had some pictures of "wormholes" behind a wave that had been taken on a reef in Tahiti. I'd also seen a shot a while ago that Bluesnapper had taken at a northern beach which had these same things adorning the back of the wave.

I was surprised to see the same thing in some photos I took last weekend.

How do they form? Are they full of negative ions? Are they more common than I think they may be?

Anyway, whatever the answer, I like them. They are something I rarely see.

Go Skateboarding Day 2011

Skateboarders around the globe will celebrate the pure exhilaration, creativity, and spirit of one of the most influential activities in the world by blowing off all other obligations to go skateboarding.

Founded by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC); every year on June 21st we have another reason to go skateboarding. The day originated as the day for skateboarders to have fun, to raise awareness about the issues we face; to show the world what skateboarding is really all about; to reclaim our culture; and to define skateboarding as the rebellious, creative celebration of independence it continues to be. In the years since the first celebration, the holiday continues to grow, but the mission remains the same.

Check out the official Go Skateboarding Day for events in your area.

Legendary skateboard artist and former art director for Santa Cruz skateboards, Jim Phillips Sr. created the 2011 edition in the artist series of collectible posters promoting Go Skateboarding Day.

The Chosen-PIT CREW

One of the most respected skateshops in the country, Pit Crew, just outside of our Nation's capital has thrown it's hat in the ring and it's pretty much on from the very first sight of the RT Mulligan and Benji Ross' Plymouth Horizon.

This video has a good mix of dorking around, bombing hills good times and straight up shredding. And that drainage ditch spot these two skate basically will make anyone jealous. These two do a good job of showing what they can accomplish in an afternoon in their hometown with nothing more than a bro-cam.

Let's see what your spots look like. Show us what you and your homies do on a summer's day? This is your chance to live like a pro just by filming you and your crew being yourselves. Let's see it.

Wow. There is just TOO much going on in this. These Nitro Circus shows are indescribable. And I think Pastrana is literally marrying Lyn-Z. That's funny how it's thrown into a montage of world's firsts on motorcycles, bikes, and skateboards. Even WHEELZ did a wheelchair frontflip. Kid is amazing.

The Chosen Bus Tour


LINCOLN PARK
Lincoln Park in East LA was designed and brought to fruition by Nike and Nike Pro Skater and LA native Paul Rodriguez aka P-Rod. With it being Paul's stomping ground it only made sense that Lincoln Park be the first stop on The Chosen bus tour. What away to set things off. Tons of crews and the homies turned out from all parts of Southern California to session the park, skate with P-Rod and catch a performance by Hanni El Khatib.



The Chosen bus tour is also a great chance for rippers to get seen as P-Rod discusses in this video of the night's festivities. Listen closely to Paul's final words, "Only you know you're special and being CHOSEN will follow."

If you know you're special, let's see it. The Crew Video contest is well under way and it's anybody's game right now. With just over a month left to film and submit your crew video time is of the essence.

GET THOSE VIDEOS TURNED IN!

You don't want to regret it later. This is your chance to make it big.

And if you're on the West Coast, make sure you catch THE CHOSEN tour as it comes through your town.

Dates are as follows:

June 17+18 @ Windells Camp at Mt. Hood, OR

June 21 + 22 @ Woodward West, CA

June 24 @ O'Neill's Santa Cruz, CA

June 25th @ Santa Cruz Boardroom, CA

SWATCH GIRLS PRO France 2011 - Highlights of Day 1

SWATCH GIRLS PRO France 2011 - Highlights of Day 1

From: quattro media

The SWATCH GIRLS PRO France 2011 event was officially launched this Wednesday morning. 72 surfers met at the beach break of Les Bourdaines for an exciting and promising event. The first heats were in the water as early as 7.30am this morning to benefit from the best wave conditions forecast today. The surfers were greeted with 4ft swell and strong currents, tough conditions for the start of Round 1, which translated in rather low scores all through the heats. Initially scheduled at 12.30pm then at 3pm, Round 2 was eventually postponed until tomorrow as the wind grew stronger with the tide. There is much at stake for all surfers as the SWATCH GIRLS PRO France will be a turning point in the season to either maintain a position or qualify on the 2012 WCT. In the Juniors event, the SWATCH GIRLS PRO France will offer the opportunity to the winner to qualify for the ASP World Junior Series event to be staged in Bali, Indonesia, on October 3rd.

Nyjah Huston wins Street League Kansas City

It's safe to say Nyjah Huston has 300,000 reasons why he's happy founder Rob Dyrdek decided to bring back Street League for a second season.

Huston made it back-to-back wins in 2011after he came from behind to win at stop #2 in Kansas City. After being on the brink of elimination in the first section, Huston battled his way back landing a huge Nollie Inward Heel Flip off the top of the Big Section on his last attempt to take the top spot.

Huston has managed to stack up a solid career earning in just 2 events adding another $150,000 dollars boosting his 2011 season total to $315,000.

As you can imagine he had some positive words to say about Street League after the contest, "I'm just super happy I was able to win two stops in a row. Street League is by far the best skating contest ever and looking forward to the next stop in Glendale."

Chris Cole made a strong run at the win but came up short finishing 2nd followed by Chaz Ortiz who rounded out the top 3. Local boy Sean Malto successfully returned to competition after an injury that held him out of the first stop. He managed to take home forth place.

Not all was lost for 5th place finisher Ryan Sheckler who won the $15,000 best trick award when he landed a Caballerial Kick Flip in the Big Section for 9.4 points.

Here are the official results from stop 2 in Kansas City

1. Nyjah Huston 72.6
2. Chris Cole 67.1
3. Chaz Ortiz 63.8
4. Sean Malto 63.4
5. Ryan Sheckler 61.8
6. Torey Pudwill 57.2
7. Mikey Taylor 21.9
8. Paul Rodriguez 7.4
9. Shane O'Neill 6.8
