Rogie Gets Crumpled

In News, Video Pond on May 17, 2013 at 3:48 pm

Heroin will be rolling out a new trailer every week until its July 1st premiere of Video Nasty, which will feature the familiar faces of Fos, Daniel Shimizu and Chet Childress along with a score of their fellow plank pushing, no-good junkie teammates (just joking, nice bunch).

This first installment finds longtime rider Rogie towing the line in between injuries.

AM/FM Soul Mates

The adoring couple sit down for a Free Lunch and bring pretty much every bad manner stereotype to the table. Aside from the smiling, they’re really good at smiling.

Better Green Days Ahead

In News, Video Pond on May 15, 2013 at 3:52 pm

Few companies do more to benefit others in need than Jim Thiebaud and his Real skateboards. This time they team up with Green Day for a special series of decks, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the Oakland Children’s Hospital.

Good looks, gentlemen.

We Need To Go Back And Refilm That ‘Cuz Dickhead Fucked It Up.

In News, Video Pond on May 15, 2013 at 3:29 pm

From the looks of it Converse dumped the majority of their budget for this commercial into the scuba gear and fancy cameras necessary to capture the true essence of lobster hunting. So don’t go saying they never did anything for skateboarding, you spoiled bunch of ungratefuls.

“Perfect, Just What I Wanted, Another Filming Project.”

In News, Video Pond on May 13, 2013 at 4:27 pm

As if filming (see Agonizing) for Pretty Sweet wasn’t enough Stevie comes through with another 2+ minutes of footage for a shoe that doesn’t even have his name on it. Maybe he got to pick a colorway, that’s always worth it.

Somebody Is Getting Soft

In News on May 10, 2013 at 3:52 pm

gulp.Enjoi decided to pull its “ex-girlfriend” t-shirt and the above ad after a change.org campaign was started and had garnered 1,800 signatures (up to 2,664 at the time of this posting). Dwindle, the company that distributes enjoi and Globe, has yet to issue a written apology but has been doing plenty of damage control and deletions on its social media sites. For more details, head on over to the big boys newsroom.

Makes you wonder, What Would Rocco Have Done? I think we all know the answer to that.

Shit You Come Up With When High

In News, Video Pond on May 9, 2013 at 4:06 pm

Some people do bat shit crazy stuff when they’re not on their skateboard, as evidenced in the above clip. Horns to these boys for pursuing a childhood dream and turning it into a reality.

First Last Name First, Please.

One of the few who you could just as easily enjoy listening to them talk as you do watching them skate. JJ gives you the lowdown on the type of rig he’s mashing around on these days. No, yeah, this totally counts as news.

A Boy Named Hatchet

Hatchell goes lone wolf and rips the Thrasher park a new bung with his own brand of transitional wizardry. Remember this?
