Lowcard Mid90s Chris Atwood "Credits Footy"

Hyphy shit from Da Bay. Go 'Niners, amirite?

Dennis Busenitz Euro Lines Full Video Part

What is there to say? Best skater in the game, in my opinion. And since I haven't posted anything in three months, I'ma also leave some rando Adidas clips, "Busenitz for President" and Jake Donnelly's new hotfire as well. Enjoy.

New Yaje Popson "Dece" Video Part

This former leprechaun ninja from NYC is all growed up and, man alive, can the boy skate! Tricks and style. Good work, dude. Line at "the other Tompkins" in Bed-Stuy is notably sick as nuts.

Magenta Hill Street Blues 2

This past weekend in San Francisco saw a crush of skateboard-centric events ranging widely from the easily-accessible-to-the-uninitiated Dew Tour to the humbler presentation of a new film by free-wheelin' French dirts Magenta Skateboards.

And while the latter definitely catered to those more apt to drink tall cans of Tecate out of brown paper bags than bubbly yellow corn syrup and/or monstrous concoctions of taurine/caffeine/etc., both, indeed, were displays of total ripping.

Check out the Magenta trailer:

The scene at the show.

The premiere, held at Book and Job Gallery, proved to be popular amongst the Bay's dedicated street-slashing set. Alongside the video was a two-floor installation of photographs by Color Magazine's Isaac McKay-Randozzi, John Lindsay, Stereo-pro and friend-of-Magenta Ben Gore and others. The photographs, many of which depict the stunts/spots/skaters featured in the video, read less as a catalog of production stills than an earnest endeavor to capture a sense of the attendant adventure inherent in skateboarding: the triumphant rollaway, the migratory hit-and-run approach to city spots (and non-spots, too), the often unnerving clack-clack-clack of racing the sidewalk's approaching end into a blind intersection--an essential expression of skating's violent bliss.

And at just 16 minutes, it's well-suited for pre-schralp viewing. Order a copy from Theories of Atlantis by clicking here.

Forrest Edwards: Unhinged Thrasher Part

Loading the player ...

A few short years ago, this would've been an ender part and a career milestone. In 2012, it's a web-clip of a dude with no board sponsor. Pretty crazy, huh? Is it the internet age's destabilization of the marketplace for physically-reproduced creative content or the now-seemingly entrenched expectation of free-of-charge access to books, newspapers, movies, music and, yes, even amazing skate footage?

Whatever your personal take, and my own disbelief at the absurd advancement of technical prowess aside, one thing is absolutely certain: This foo rips shit to fuckin' shreds.

Darin Howard, sign this dude up on the DLX program!
