Featuring Kyle Chin & Ethan Cochard

So I hit up Adam the other day to see if he had any gems to share with Skate[Slate]. Here's a capture that he sent The Slate that all you video heads out there are sure to recognize.  Turns out we were only a few days off his latest release launching tomorrow [HERE] Of course we'll be posting it up on Skate[Slate], but there's some tasty new videos there now to keep your belly full Until then.

Oh we cant wait until tomorrow!

Greetings one and all. Seeing as it's the last week of January, I trust that many of you have already abandoned your New Year's resolutions and lost any optimism you may have had to finally start eating right or grow two inches or whatever you had planned. That's okay. It means that the year can start in earnest. Set aside your disappointment and enjoy what you've got. Or don't. Here's some stuff to take your mind of the fact that you are weak-willed and unable to floss everyday like you promised you would:

Philip Lemire from Landyachtz had an interesting experience upon his arrival in Bogota involving glue and a stolen skateboard. Listen to him tell it in his own words. The whole story...

Want to get sponsored? Ride your skateboard more than anyone else you know. Not enough? "You have a lot of crashing to do, a lot of shit to eat, a lot of traveling to pay for, a lot of work hours to do, and a lot of saving money to do." Daniel Hawes has a few words on how to do it right. A guide for writing sponsorship requests

Ronin Trucks just whipped up a new website and it's now online. Check it out for more info about Mischo's truck of choice. Ronin Trucks

Free For All Boardshop just posted a video of a slide jam that went down in Quebec City this fall. Plenty of happy times and limbo slides make for an enjoyable watch. Slide Jam 2011

The Skatesgiving crew hit a run in West Virginia known as Mordor and things got heavy. Cue the "One does not simply..." jokes now. Check it out now on SkateHouseMedia. Skatesgiving: MORDOR

You're a hamburger.

In this week's roundup we explore themes of love, lust, violence, and redemption. And skateboarding. In other words, everything that matters.

A Laguna mother writes a well considered and fair letter outlining her concerns regarding an increase of young hill shredders in her neighbourhood. An excellent reminder that most people really just want you to be safe and are willing to meet you halfway. It would be nice to see more people take a balanced approach like this rather than jumping straight to extremes. Coastline Pilot: Skyline has become dangerous place for boarders

Do you like Lord of the Rings, slide jams, dub step remixes, slow motion footage, and jump ramps? I recommend The Good, The Rad, and The Gnarly. Do you prefer to laugh at the misfortune of others? I recommend Fail 4. Either way, there's plenty of footage from the King of Clermont event in Florida.

Landyachtz is set to start dropping episodes from their South American trip on Thursday. Check out the teaser and mark your calendar, it's going to be good. Landyachtz Longboards - South American Skatecation Teaser

And please, remember the Titans.

Mike McGoldrick doing one of his classic knee pad slides while attempting big standies

It seems like just yesterday friend Bricin Lyons was giving a quick Striker style speech at the Marc McCrudden's Drop Premiere in Vancouver [MM SCREENING ROOM]. Or Mike McGoldrick pushing the boundaries of his crafty stand up slides on badass hills. Or Kyle Martin switching to ride for Landy around the same time Wolfgang Coleman and Lee Cation put on a Boundary Session. It's all a blur like the above pic. I used to say, "so much footy, so little time". The truth wrung true when after 2 years of shooting with my whatever camera, we still had no videos to show for it.
