The Maloof/Dyrdek Tug-Of-War For Cole

Posted on August 24, 2010 with Comments Off

What is Chris Cole thinking right now? As of August 12 it wasn’t much of a question. Maybe something along the lines of; Alright everything is going pretty good this year. I won my third straight Money Cup, and Joe Maloof has just handed me my third $100,000 1st place check. Now off to Street League.

That may have been so, as far competitive skateboarding goes, until Tuesday August 13 arrived. That was the day Joe Maloof announced he is offering up a $1 million bonus to the first..

Posted on August 24, 2010 with Comments Off

The folks over at Lakai just dropped Lakairomania, their entry in the Transworld SkateboardingSkate and Createcontest, and it’s what we have come to expect from the brand. Exceptional skateboarding, camera work and editing. Anything cinematic that comes from Lakai is always cutting edge. Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Marc Johnson and crew never cease to impress on their boards, and Ty Evans is as good as it gets behind the camera and editing bay.

This edition of Skate and Create is..

Music Tip – Kills And Thrills

Posted on August 23, 2010 with Comments Off

Since I’ve got a bit more time on my hands and I’ve been wanting to push this part of Europeskate for a long time, I’ll be investing more time in posting bands and musicians on the site beside the usual delivery of skateboard related news.

Kicking it off this week is the loud, guitar-filled, tight-riffed band “Kills And Thrills” out of Long Island, New York. They released their second record entitled “Liars” just this year and I really like what I’m hearing!

Adio ‘Going Forward’ Jordan Hoffart video

Posted on August 23, 2010 with Comments Off

Adio Footwear have just dropped the first of a seven part video series from their film Going Forward.

OK, so the alien in the car is kind of weird and unnecessary, but it certainly doesn’t distract from Hoffart’s awesome street skating proving he’s come a long way from being a stunt double in Pop Tarts adverts.

Just look out for the textbook error though: Globe kicks?!

More videos will be dropping in the coming weeks with skating from the likes of Ernie Torres, Joey Brezinski and Chris Troy.
