With the rapid pace that skateboarding has been rolling at lately, it’s always nice to see what timeless style and quality skateboarding looks like. We present to you “Soul Rebel”, the Mark Appleyard solo part he’s been working on for the past year. Filmed by Element’s own Kirk Dianda and Mark Stewart, Apples put down [...]
On a contest note, our great friends in Medicine Hat Alberta has long since shaken the snow load off in more ways than one and are now prepared to Beat the Heat at their annual super contest. This one happens to land on another sunny Monday July 1st, and the $5000 purse seems like some sort [...]
We get asked all the time “Know of any contests coming up?” and here’s one more you can enter if you’re in the golden horseshoe area. The ever so rad Element “Make it Count” contest series rolls into the Norton park in Burlington the day after Go Skate Day, June 22nd, so if you’re not too [...]
This is OUR WEEK! Actually, it’s always our week as skaters, but this is that much more special because the longest day of the year is usually the best day of the year to skate. This Friday, not only across Canada, but around the planet skaters are taking to the streets, and parks, to spend the [...]
This is the moment that Ajax, ON has been waiting for! After years of no park, then the MCC metal park (which is still pretty fun) they now have the opportunity to shred one of the most artistic parks we’ve seen in a while, with pretty much perfect down rails, ledges and ledges for days. [...]
It not the first time we’ve seen two of the tech lords from the Plan B crew face off in the Battle at the Berrics finals. This year, it was team regular’s PJ Ladd showing us who’s boss, with a win. We know this was last weekend, but we still had to post it to [...]
This past weekend, the Street League, paid another visit to Sean Malto’s hometown in Kansas City. A few instagram posts we read on the weekend summed it up well stating “this kid is in-f**king-credible” due to his all out reign on the big contest tours. It’s almost as if it’s all about trying to 2nd [...]
I guess at some point over the winter, the DC Canada team snuck a session in at Montreals “South Parc” skatepark and we’re so glad they did. There aren’t many park montages we’ve seen where the level of skating is so foolishly high, that it makes you wonder if they can pull the same tricks [...]
Why does it matter that we look back at the big contests that happen around us? This is the current state of skateboarding, and apart from the big money contests, these AM Contests are no different on a scale of importance when we look back our history with NSA contests that made or broke skaters [...]
Just when you thought the hype around Mike Mo’s shoe was enough (deservedly), DC announces the long awaited Nyjah Huston pro model due out in stores soon! What else do you expect from Nyjah for his first shoe commercial, but to effortlessly back noseblunt Hollywood high. It seems this Impact G heel cushion is just [...]
Online we’ve been seeing the Harlem shake fade away just about as quick as Gangnam style did, however could we possibly see the Carlton come back? We ask the same thing with skate tricks where the famed “darkslide” seems to be making a rebirth at skate spots around the World. In almost some kind of [...]
Playing catchup with all that happened in Barcelona last weekend, it was another crazy X-Games. The street course as usual is something you wish you’d have in your town, however just seeing them skate it was pretty satisfying. First mention goes to Manny “Slaysall” Santiago for winning the SLS Select Series earning a spot skating [...]
