“Zak Hale is a sponge, he soaks up all the words of wisdom, advice and information while traveling on the road with the crew…he’s going to rule the world by the time he’s 25″ – Dean Blotto Gray
Talked with all around young radical dude Zak Hale for this week’s yobeat hump day feature. Happy hump day. Happy Leap day. Enjoy the interview with Zak.
Had a rad time shooting this video the weekend before christmas a few miles from the house. It just premiered this morning on revolvermag.com. This is the third Will Haven music video I have directed. Big thanks to Adrien Contreras, Jeff Irwin & Kaleb Hall for helping make this one happen. Will Haven’s “When The Walls Close In” for your viewing pleasure. We wanted a spooky and bloody mess and that’s what we got. Hope you enjoy the outcome.
Meeting Chris Carnel at 16 introduced me into a world of snow filled landscapes, professional snowboarding, desert lunar landings, skateparks, coffee shops, insane photography, reno and obscure punk and metal bands. Thanks, Chris. Your influence has been immense. Click here for an awesome read with Chris.
This should be neat-o. Live in San Diego? Well get the fuck here! Music by DJ Horsepussy. Cold beer by Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Santa Cruz Skateboards has been making “cruisers” long before “longboarding” was synonmous with that one brand from Southern California. These “cruzers” are the real deal. Santa Cruz just released a gang load of new one’s, here are wreckreation’s favorites:
Pharaoh. 8.3 x 32.5
Art by the master, Jim Phillips. Two graphic choices. Straight outta Egypt. Comes available as deck only, wall hanger, or as the catacomb complete. Either way, it’s a win win.
Jammer Big Strip. 8.9 x 35
This is like the board being skated in the first photo above (regular jammer strip), but this cruzer re-tooled a wee bit bigger. Comes with Bullet 140s and Road Rider 65mm wheels (78a’s). Good setup, bro.
Goddess. 9.3 x 36
The graphic says it all. The goddess will make you happy.
These cruzers are available now worldwide.
Get out and skate, friends.
Creature won this year’s Tranworld Skate & Create contest with the following video below. Knew this was a winner when I saw it premiere here at NHS a month or so back.
The Steve Olson narration pretty much wins ya over instantly.
David Gravette displays stellar skateboard skills in front of drunk bar crowds.
Emmanuel Guzman threw down inside the bar.
The video that changed everything. Creature’s winning skate & create. Watch this and eat your heart out.
4 new creature offerings. Happy Valentine’s Day.
It’s been pretty grim and low tide out there everywhere (minus the northwest) this season. Curtis Woodman has been making it happen this season. This video will a test to that. Good on ya, Curtis. Snowboarding to Operation Ivy will get you mightily stoked too. Curtis shot this video in Chile, Montana and Washington state. Ride the white wave. Ride the white wave like Curtis.
Last week at Squaw. Still low tide. Pray, pray, pray.
Some classic Christian Hosoi reissues coming out of the Santa Cruz factory. Limited to 450 each. 3 colorways.
These boards came out really great. Two more Hosoi issues planned with Santa Cruz. Get these before they are history.
A gun that you can skateboard? Yup.
Jason Jessee skateboarding his AK-47 board at his secret compound. You can’t go to Jason Jessee’s secret compound and skate with him, or shoot guns out back, but you can buy his board. This thing is sick.
Available now at finer skate shops worldwide.
“I thought it must surely be the fairest picture the whole world affords.” – Mark Twain on Lake Tahoe. 1861.
And just in case you missed Curtis Woodman’s part from the Comune video. You missed some bangers. So enjoy it now.
