Taking a break from the real world of skateboarding for a second and appreciate the work of this artist.

Roboman shreds the gnar for sure. I’ve got some great videos lined up in the next few days so make sure you check back everyday!

This week we’re going to let you in on a little secret.

Adio Skate Shoes has a new “Deal of the Week” website, click here to check it out. Right now you can buy a pair of Sumner V.3 for $24.99 .

Here’s the good news… Guess what? You can actually get these cheaper by buying them from Shoes.com
and then price matching them to Adio’s new deal of the week website!  Do it, you will thank us later.

Prepare to be amazed. This video is from the New York Times interview with Bob Burnquist over a year ago. This ramp is absolutely ridiculous, I mean just imagine having this in your backyard.

All we can say is, WOW!

Nice Footwear, a company I and most others always wrote off as being lame (partly because of their name) is coming back in a big way.

I first caught wind of this “comeback announcement” press release announcing the signing of three new pro’s Brian Sumner, Chad Knight and Tom Knox to their pro-team.  After reading the exciting news I thought probably the same old mediocre shoes would be there.  Well much to my surprise they have some pretty sweet looking skate shoes going on.

Like these for instance:

The “N-Paisley” looks to be a pretty sick looking unique shoe  in what seems to be an endless stream of copy-cat’s these days.  Now, I’m not declaring Nice Footwear to be the next Supra or Fallen but, they are making steps in the right direction.  For that I applaud them and hope they make some more quality shoes.  Other information in the press release reassures their dedication to the sport and shoe quality.  Which is also respectable.  With that, make your own judgment and peep this other sick pair of Nice Shoes…

Check out this sick video of what skateboarding would look like without the skateboards.

Rad!

Downhill skateboarding champion Martin Sweeney from the UK shows off why he is the worlds best in this amazing video..

Bonus: Check out this kind article about giving skateboards to underprivileged kids.

It seems like everyone got a kick out of the first Human Skateboard video. Hence we bring you the “response” to that video made equally good. Check it…

Rock on!

Sole Tech (Maker of Etnies, eS, and other of your favorite shoes) had a sweet media day showing off hot new products and general plans for the ‘08 year.  Skate Shoes eXtreme wasn’t invited, but hey that doesn’t mean we won’t report on it.  Transworld Skateboarding did a good job in their article showing off shiny Youtube videos of all the fun they had.  And I quote,

“Early the next morning our day started in the STI Lab—an impressive research center where everything from impact pressure to shoelace durability is tested on a number of machines, not to mention the mini ramp and eight-stair rail they have set up. The amount of effort in their R&D was impressive to say the least. A lot of pros that ride for other companies hit them up for their G2 insoles! After lunch we got short presentations from the brand managers and head designers of etnies, Emerica, and eS. We got to peep Mikey Taylor’s and Andrew Reynolds’ new shoes while we sipped on some brews—not a bad business meeting. After that, the etnies skatepark was ours to shred padless. We also got treated to a little shopping spree in the company store. Those new Herman 2’s are killing it.”

Who knew that an impact pressure shoelace durability test even existed?  And, not to mention the “Shopping Spree” I mean does Transworld editors honestly need any more shoes?  Well enough with our jealousy - go ahead and read what they had to say about the fun filled day.

Thought some of you might think this is kind of cool. Well if you don’t think it’s cool then there is probably something wrong with you..

Who would’ve thought you could use a human like that?

Basically, upload videos of your and your friends snowboarding, skateboarding etc. and you could possibly win some cash or prizes and be helping out a sick site.  From what I can tell this website compiles user-submitted videos.  Anyways they’ve got a bunch of rad vid’s that you should check out if your sick of the same old youtube crapola.
