CHRIS HASLAM AND KEVIN HARRIS: OUT OF THE WILD By Sean Mortimer You could be born and graduate high school between the gap when Kevin Harris and Chris Haslam discovered skateboarding. Normally, a generational chasm that wide strains a skate connection but these two renegade Canucks have inspired each other for years. Nicknamed “The Iceman” due to his smooth style, Harris was ranked the second best freestyler in the world in the 1980s. Stacy Peralta describes Harris as the most natural skatebGVK #41: AST Dew Tour.

So Rich of E.P.M. and myself managed a couple press passes out of the A.S.T. crew. As it turns out, video was not allowed, that only slowed me down a couple of times. They threatened to kick me out. I shouted “Do you know who I am?” Apparently they had not heard of G.V.K.. Talk about living under a rock, or not really being involved in skateboarding. (the riding side). You may notice a difference in video quality. That is because I checked out a Get HI Def video camera from the E.P.M. libraryMore Xtreme-Mas
My kids have already been to two outdoor animated light shows this year, which means I went too. I’ve idly wondered how much some of these setups costs. Thanks to Mac’s daughter Caroline for finding Santa’s elves riding a half pipe, or as they say in the industry “Animated Skateboarding Elf Half Ramp.” Apparently there are two different size versions of this thing, coming in at an unbelievable $26,638.65 for the 38″ long model and a slightly less ridiculous $6,565.00 for the 25 foot long versSurf-Knot Art Show Recap

How to Impress a Girl With a Skateboard By Lauren Thompson | December 8, 2008 by Ada Denis When trying to impress a girl that you have a crush on, ride your skateboard and show off your skateboarding skills. Girls can be intrigued by guys who are very talented and have confidence in what they do. Grab your skateboard and perform your tricks in front of the girl.

Not all of the skate news has to be about another street competition, another huge gap jump, another mega-industry sponsored, sold out arena filled with families who would usually go watch a baseball game. And that’s good that once and a while a good idea still comes through and turns to reality. So what the heck am I rambling on about? This past Friday and Saturday, December 5th/6th 2008, the Quiksilver All Day All 80s Vert Challenge took place in Huntington Beach, California which had a buDanny Way is Human Afterall: Video
The header says it all. Danny Way broke two vertebrae in his back recently at the Oi Mega ramp contest in San Paulo, Brazil. According to sources, it has been said that he will be out for the next six months. Wow! Six months of no Danny Way? It’s going to be strange, not only that but the fact that he actually got hurt to a point where he cant skate for a while. I mean, the dude is indestructible. How many gnarly falls have we seen him take only to watch him get right back up and walk away asDude Van Playset

This is why I just love skateboarding and photography - you will never reach a point in time when you can say, that’s all folks. I’ve seen it all. The mega ramp is one of those topics in life which just help me remember why being alive is so much fun.

Aaron, who was born with spina bifida and has been in a chair since he was three, said: ‘It feels awesome to have the record.’ The American teenager is also credited with creating the sport of ‘hardcore sitting’ where daring stunts adapted fMax Wettstein at On Display Men
