Skateboarding

Go Skateboarding Day (which we all know is everyday, so don’t get your panties in a wad.) had some big events going on all around the world yesterday. We partnered up with NikeSB to cover their events in NYC and LA. This LA portion started off with a surprise skate session on an LA movie lot with the Nike team consisting of Nyjah Huston, Paul Rodriguez, Eric Koston, Shane O’Neill, Sean Malto,  Guy Mariano and five NikeSB app winners. Three spots were built that were incorporated into the fake cityscape that was a few square blocks wide. The guys got to be treated like stars with catered food and movie star trailers for chilling out in. But after a few hours in the hot LA sun, the party moved over to the Santa Monica Courthouse for a demo and skate session with the public. With a fresh coat of paint on the ledges and two new flat bars installed, the scene was hectic and fun all in one. Thanks for everyone coming out. Thanks to NikeSb for having us along and make sure to keep the Courthouse clean so we can keep skating there. Now go skateboard again today.—Jaime Owens

WATCH BOTH EDITS and VOTE NOW!

We’ve made it to the last round of the Shop Showdown Finals. The fourth round features Silo Skateshop from Omaha, Nebraska, and Blindside Skateshop from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both edits are super heavy making this another tough round. Remember, the four winning shops from the Finals will all be flown to Long Beach, California, during Dew Tour in July to compete on the newly updated format and course and it’s up to YOU to decide those winners. Voting ends Tuesday at midnight PST! Follow along with everything on social media using #DewTourShopShowdown!

Rather than go crazy while hurt last summer, Davis picked up a VX and jumped in the van with the crew. The footage stacked up, Davis started editing, and his friend Josh jumped in with some graphic animations. Introducing Naptime, filmed and edited by Davis Torgerson.

After his stellar Video Check Out, Ronnie set it off in our park.

You’ll see his video part here on twskate.com along with the winners from the other stops. Check the photos and stay tuned for a wrap up video.
