Being confined means the Masher is even closer behind. Barros, Collins, Sandoval, Wooten and a host of other maniacs take on Montreal’s iconic O. Half of these moves seem impossible, but with the power of the Phelper tag, anything can be done. 

Gravette, Kimbel, Lockwood and a score of fresh faces from PDX make this indie full-length a fun watch. This one will make the whole gang wanna get out and get weird. 

Through shared experiences, skating has tentacles that bind us all together. And yet, within skating, we still gravitate to our own smaller tribes. Using killer illustrations (and harsh generalizations), here’s a not-very scientific look at these subcultures.

The UK isn’t usually known for its stock of big rail and gap skaters, but Darkstar’s Joe Hinson is out to change that. He gets over the awful ground with some elaborate uses of plywood, signs, and duct tape. If he sees a double kinker, he’ll find a way to hit it—no excuses.

Max Taylor and Reese Barton help Joe Milazzo and the OJ ams feed on some savory Austin spots. Get an extended look at their trip as they battle to squeeze a little extra juice out of each session.

While mostly concentrating their sick voodoo energy on Burnside, the Shrunken Head squad hits damn-near every Portland DIY and manages a few interstate clips. Jeremy Tuffi, Frank Shaw and many others tear up every piece of Quikrete in sight. Keep your eyes peeled for the Crust Hunter himself. 

Stüssy’s new promo comes through with some strong coastal flavor. Aaron Loreth returns to wreck his staple Ventura spots and Cyrus Bennett closes the curtains. Plus, Lance has his own section. What more do you want?

The Pabich Bros and the rest of the Wrecking Crew dive into some backyard pools up North and do some serious damage in just two short sessions. No Chalmers flyouts in this one, but Pedro Delfino does frontside invert a deathbox, so pay attention.

With an established shop like Oktyabr to push the scene, the skaters of Moscow are on the move. This promo is teeming with city sessions, heavy hits on cutty spots and plaza destruction. And yes, that is Cambryan riding off that psycho drop.
