Sheffey is back.
17 years. Man, oh man. I feel like I should be 65 years old or something,
looking back on the Sean Sheffey board on the left and remembering it
hanging on the wall at my local skate shop when it first came out 17
years ago.

PRIVATE PIPE
This is Shaun White's just-completed halfpipe on the backside of
Silverton Mountain, in the shadow of Storm Peak. This is just below
the famed 'Grande' and the 'Hanging Valley' and 'Hidden Valley'
runs, in an area shown on the map as 'The Lake'. The pipe was built
by Red Bull (with some pipe dragon assistance provided by Oakley),
just for Shaun's training purposes. The box at the bottom of the pipe
is a custom-built foam pit for practicing new tricks...

moi (insérer fausse modestie ici). Lisez l?article sur le site web, ou encore
mieux, achetez la revue en kiosque dès aujourd?hui.

those who actually skate
?Today, skateboard footwear is an $800-million-a-year market.
And everyone wears skate shoes ? without necessarily skating in them?
Skateboard shoes exert a tremendous influence on fashion ?
and vice versa. But while much has been written about the
evolution of skateboard riding technique and hardware, a
comprehensive account of how skateboard shoes emerged
remains missing. Until now.?
MADE FOR SKATE tells the stories behind the shoes that
carried skateboarding through it?s colourful history.
The long awaited 400 page book comes in a nice matt hardcover,
measures 23*29 and must weigh more than 4 pounds.

enjoi skateboard art show
One of the reasons I have loved enjoi, ever since they began, is that
their ads already approach you with what you're going to think
anyway. As a skateboarder, no matter what type of person you are,
you are bound to open up a magazine and either 1) talk sh*t on
what you see or 2) make an innocent joke about what you see,
even though you might like the skater or the company or whatever.
None of these jokes are to be taken seriously, which is the beauty
behind it all. And, when you open up to one of enjoi's ads, they have
basically said that little joke that you probably would have associated
with that picture.

The Study
In these tough economic times, industry heads and retailers must work together to bring excitement and innovation back to the table. After many late nights brainstorming, the capsule concept of shop within a shop to re-educate and bring back awareness to Alphanumeric was developed.

One of our favorite East Coast crushers Nick Dompierre,
can you?
The only thing might even make it better was if it was all filmed in
HD 16:9 or something... oh wait, it is! Serious big thanks goes to
Nick and Roger Bagley for hooking this gem up.

BITE THA BALLOON
In 2007, skateboard-dude Dave England got an idea ?
fill a bowl (the skateboarding kind) with balloons and send
a skater through it. Soon after he filmed Matt Beach doing
just that. We posted the video above for your viewing pleasure.
Writes England, "I had this idea for a while to fill a skate bowl
with balloons and try to ride through them. It seemed like the
chances of it working were slim. I figured they might make your
wheels stop. We finally tried it anyways and as you can see...
it worked just fine."
But of course, a for-money version was created and now the
skater-haters are in a tizzy. Rightfully so ? these dudes cling
to their culture like a baby monkey to its mother's back. Click
continued to see what some people are calling the "ripoff" version,
which was produced by JWT Endland for Aero candy. Skating-
legend Bob Burnquist and skate-cinematographer Ty Evans
teamed with Aero (a Nestle holding) to make 'Feeling the Bubbles'.
In the video's description, the creators admit, "First there was the
Youtube Balloon Bowl. Now Bob and Ty have taken this amazing
idea to the next level by skating through a world of them!"...
