I know I’m late to the party on this one… The video was actually originally uploaded back in February, however here’s the awesome teaser for DC Europe’s first ever team video.

It was announced last week that Alien Workshop had officially become the property of Rob Dyrdek – one of the original team riders who has been loyal to the brand for about two decades. It’s actually a pretty rad story, from a royalty cheque of $2 in 1991 from a single board sale, to the millionaire TV icon and brand owner he is now… Crazy. Chris Nieratko interviewed him …

This is a rad clip created by Disillusion Magazine and Nixon called, This is Andrew. Reynolds talks us through living in LA, drugs and alcohol as well as the places skateboarding has taken him in his life. There’s also a section on the importance of skater owned companies and their commitment to the riders – am I the only one thinking about the clip sponsor being (until recently) part of a public company?

It’s been a couple of weeks since I caught a Battle but the Berrics was on fire this weekend with Shane O’Neill taking on Chris Cole and P-Rod taking on Tom Asta. If you saw P-Rod’s training day, you would have been amped for this as well. I don’t want …

If you’re residing in, or traveling through, any hipster enclaves in your city this morning (Fitzroy, I’m looking at you…), watch out.

I saw Boardistan tweet the rumor yesterday afternoon and now we have the below tweet from Danny Way… Apparently Josh Swindell is out of jail. For those that don’t know the story, Swindell was in jail for second degree murder after leading Keith Ogden out of a bar and kicking him three to five times in the face. There are plenty of rumors about that night – I’m struggling to find printed versions of them but they run along the lines that …

Last weekend over at The Berrics, P-Rod took on Davis Torgerson for team Koston – P-Rod was the safe option to go with for the prediction and he didn’t disappoint. They also managed the most exciting ro-sham-bo I think I’ve seen on there. Sebo Walker came out of the gates strong against Jimmy Carlin but couldn’t quite hold it to the end. Both battles are …

TMZ is reporting that Ryan Sheckler is pressing charges against a lady friend who he alleges walked off with $100K worth of his jewelery… This included a Rolex watch, diamond necklace, diamond bracelet and a whole bunch of other stuff that no one else in the world would think is cool and/or fashionable (Rolex excluded from that – everyone loves Rolex). Apparently Shecks had lured the acquaintance back to his hotel room in Vegas, presumably …
