LOTY, Canadian Thanksgiving, and THEHESHXSCOOTERS
"This would be such a good spot if the curb wasn't there" is a thought had by everyone except Steve Nesser. Photo: Chad Benson
Steve Nesser has two kids, a skate shop, a skatepark, and still fully handles business on a skateboard. I am excited to see what he has in Send Help's Get Born, which debuts tonight.
Zack goes up to Canada, and then back down to the States. Zack goes up on this board slide, and then back down to the ground. Photo via Monster Children.
Zack Baker went to Montreal during Canadian Thanksgiving and wrote a cool piece about his trip on Monster Children. According to the article, they (Canadians) don't listen to Christmas music on the radio after their Thanksgiving, only Drake.
2014s LOTY (Lucas of the year) goes to Flo Mirtain. I love the pop shove-it backside 5-0 backside 180 out and the firecracker UP the stairs. This part feels more like Bon Appetit than Bon Voyage (this is a good thing (sorry fam, but dead ass). Classic Cliche stuff, dudes.
John Herbert has a new promo for his video New Life, due out 2015. Poor Oskar managed to somehow rack his berries on the ledge next to the Smith Triangle rail :(
Juice Design makes some seriously special content. I first took note of them when the Silas Tokyo part came out. The colors in that video popped like no ones business. You mix that with the amazing talent of the adidas team and it is pretty much a done deal. The new clip featuring Chewy Cannon and Benny Fairfax is obviously amazing. Chewy does a 50-50 into a red piece of shit and Benny Fairfax will go down in history as having one of the best styles ever, as well as a great frontside shove-it.
You already know how we feel about Cory Kennedy. This new Belling-HAM part is exactly what we love about Cory: he skates loose like he has a few cold boys flowing through him, he keeps a smile on his face, and it always looks like he is just out enjoying himself having a session not a filming mission (despite grinding totally gnar kinks backside).
Kramer and George shred. Milwaukee dudes just have more fun than everyone else. Check the original, which uses the sausage making music incredibly well, here.
And, on a final, sad note, THE HESH is now blogging about scooters. It's a crazy world we live in, adapt or die.
We've got a remix of Jamiel Nowparvar's Glue Factory footage coming up for Monday, Happy Halloween players!
