Vert Skateboarding Chasing The Olympic Dream

As seen in the Return to Vert, the resurgence of halfpipe skateboarding is stronger than ever, with more skateboarders dropping in and progression exceeding anyone's expectations. Park and street skateboarding are making their second appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, yet one familiar arena is still left on the sidelines: vert skateboarding. Hear from current vert rippers Arisa Trew, Gui Khury to halfpipe greats and ambassadors Jason Ellis, Selema Masekela, and more on what it would mean for skateboarding to have vert in the Olympics. #platfrm #skateboarding

Tony Hawk's Final Video Part - Tapes You Leave Behind

Tony Hawk gives us his last video part “Tapes You Leave Behind.”
In Tony's words:
The project was inspired by Stacy Peralta’s first video entitled “Skateboarding In The Eighties” in 1981 (before Bones Brigade Video Show). It featured Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, and me, using this same [timeless] Ultravox song, from which the lyrics inspired the title. I asked the same crew, adding Lance Mountain and Tommy Guerrero, to revisit some of their tricks in that video and BBVS since we’re all still actively skating 40+ years later. It has been my distinct honor to be associated with these legends through the decades, and it felt right to include them in my videographic swan song.
I’ll still be here skating as much as possible, but no longer torturing myself mentally & physically for the sake of comprehensive video missions.

Rolling Away: A Skateboarding Documentary Starring Ryan Sheckler

Ryan Sheckler and the most prolific names in skateboarding and sports discuss the importance of skate videos and the work-ethic required to produce a game-changing video part. The film follow’s Ryan’s three-year, injury-fought journey of filming “Lifer”, the action sport icon’s most monumental video part to date.
