Dudes, in case you didn’t know, Nashville gets DOWN! If I ever had to leave Louisville, I’d move to Nashville, no question. If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, check out this latest clip promoting the upcoming NOLO video. Amazing skating at amazing spots by some of my favorite people around.
Kentucky’s own Alex Davis is the subject of an upcoming short documentary from the Toebock Media Group. Stay tuned for the release of the full video.
We receive a lot of YouTube links here at theProgram. They all get watched, but we don’t really make it habit to repost content like that. However, this footage of Cotie Robinson and friends in Lawrenceburg, Indiana is pretty sick and definitely caught our eye. Enjoy.
Mega-homey-friend of theProgram and face-and-file behind the counters at 35th Ave Skateshop in Tacoma, WA, David Waite just alerted me to a link to the video he and his counterparts have been working on for the past year or so (maybe more, I don’t really do time). It’s full of juicy Northwestern spots and a load of ripping, so I’m almost certain that’s it’s gonna be right up your alley. It’s online for this week only, so get it while it’s hot!
Well, well, well…looks like Cole Wilson and Matt Ballard can now officially be called a “winning combination.” Ballard’s edit of Cole’s ripping earned them the top prize in Crailtap’s “Skate with Band of Horses Contest.” They will be flying out to Los Angeles to skate with the band at the Girl Skatepark and watch them play live on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Congrats fellas…an honor well earned.
Dave Ackels’ Absorb series is back with episode #17. Is it my favorite to date? I think it just might be. A perfect amount of skating and Ohio weirdness….love it.
One of my favorite people on the planet, Paul Zitzer, is featured in today’s mini Top 5 over at the Crailtap site. FUNNY CUZ TRU.
From the looks of this new trailer for the upcoming Void Skateshop video, they’ve taken things to a whole different level. See you at the premiere? Only if you ain’t no sucka.
Jay Masonek has been a homey of mine for a few years now and he just wrote to let me know that he’s finally finished with the video he’s been working on for 5 or so years. With a visual aesthetic that comes from Jay’s mind-bending approach to life, Shred the Gnar is a great cross between the artful direction of the Habitat/Alien videos and the lo-fi, low budget experience of a Krooked production. Plus, Mike Rusczyk and Tony Manfre have footage in it…what more could you ask for? Support independent filmmakers and underground skateboarding and buy a copy. That way, you can sleep a little easier next time you intersteal the new Transworld video.
West Virginia-based skateboarder Blair Burns does a blog where he documents the skateboarding scene in his state. According to this video, he and his friends recently headed to more Midwesterly landscapes and took an impromptu roadtrip to some outdoor skatepark in the Bluegrass State. Sleeping in the Dry Ridge bowl? Just crazy enough to be inspirational.
