Toy Machines Welcome to Hell video took many a skaters world by storm. Packed with a hessian soundtrack & plenty of handrails, it set the stage for a new breed of skateboarding. Aside from insane parts by Jamie Thomas, Ed Templeton, Brian Anderson & one of the best slam sections ever, lies my personal favorite, [...]

So I finally got around to watching Mind Field over the weekend(I know, I lagged!), and have to say that I was pretty bummed on Jason Dill’s part. I know that seems insane, but after his parts in Trilogy, Photosynthesis & Feedback, I’ve come to expect a lot from a Jason Dill video part. To [...]

What can you say about John Cardiel that hasn’t already been said? He’s a freakin’ ripper, he skates at mach speed, annihilates everything from pools to street & does it with style. One of my all time favorite video parts is Cardiel in Transworld’s Site Unseen. It will forever inspire me to get out, explore [...]

If you grew up watching ‘Underachievers: Eastern Exposure Three’, then you understand the impact that this video had on the skate world back in 1996, especially on the east coast. Guys like Donny Barley, Tim O’Connor, Reese Forbes and Ricky Oyola made you wanna skate the rawest spot you could find with as much speed [...]

Justin Figueroa has been an Active am for a while now and we have a ton of love for him, but somehow we missed that yesterday was his 19th birthday. Sorry about that Figgy. Leave a comment below to wish Figgy a happy belated birthday.

There was a movie in the 80’s called D.A.R.Y.L. which was about a child with “special abilities” who we later find out is a robot. It turned out that D.A.R.Y.L. was an acronym for Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform… duh. Well, today is the birthday of a very different Daryl, and this one is not [...]

If Jay Thorpe ever decided to stop being the Mystery Team Manager, he’d probably find himself on the other side of his desk as a team rider. Not many T.M.’s can say that… keep doing your thing J-Bone.

I was way into The Chocolate Tour video when it came out back in 1999. The video had everything, all the Girl/Chocolate heads were elevating skateboarding as they always have, the skits were hilarious and the video made you wanna go out and skate the second it ended. But it was Gino’s style that really [...]

First off, let me just say that Jason Jessee is totally insane, but that never mattered to me because he had the best method air to fakie in the biz. Jason was a really big guy but had a really laid back styles that I still jock to this day.

Transworld’s The Reason video features one of my favorite Stevie Williams video parts to date. Nowadays fools have entire video parts of just clips but Stevie came correct in this part with some of the longest and dopest lines that still hold up to this day. His style is unparalleled and the fact that he [...]

Danny Way has been one of my favorite skaters since I was a kid & is by far the gnarliest skateboarder the sport has ever seen. He’s done more to progress the sport that any other skater, whether it was bringing his street style to vert or turning vert on it’s head with the invention of the mega ramp, Danny Way continues to push the envelope
