The Important Nothing Part 3

The third and final piece of Science Skateboards' full-length, The Important Nothing is now online. In this section, we get parts from Dan Tomlinson, Josh Cox, and Joe Sivell closing it out.

Paul Herrmann's Grown.mov

Grown.mov has all the trends! Fucked up kits, slappies, body varials, that music (what is that shit?) Converse, and probably some more shit I'm forgetting. Still a great video and shows off Deniz Bulgurcu's emerging skills. He'll be one to watch in the future.

Andrew "Chunks" Norton

Stocky skaters rejoice! You've got a new icon in the form of New Zealander, Andrew "Chunks" Norton. Via: Manual Magazine.

Filming and editing by George Patias. Via: Kingpin.

Pool Skating's Finnish Roots

On this week's 99% Invisible Podcast traces pool skating's roots past Southern California to its' true origin. This episode is presented in three parts. The first is your typical skateboard history lesson complete with Stacy Peralta and a cringy Jake Phelps. I understand that Phelps is the perfect skater stereotype character but I hate that he gets to be the spokesperson for skateboarding. Things get interesting in part two when producer Avery Trufleman seeks out and swims in the original Southern California kidney pool. Finally in part three Element Europe pro and architect Janne Saario makes an appearance as we learn about the alleged inspiration for that Southern California pool. This episode is a nice break from The Bunt and The Nine Club for all the skate pod people out there. I did want to correct one thing, Truffleman says "Thrasher is a skateboard magazine that skaters call The Bible". Thrasher calls themselves "The Bible" skaters just call it Thrasher. 

Four Dudes One Spot

DC dudes Thaynan Costa, Josef Scott Jatta, recent addition Leo Valls, and UK rider James Bush hit London's Canada Water spot with more radness than should be allowed in just one minute of footage.

Element Australia Welcomes Nathan Jackson

Yesterday we told you about Mauro Caruso's Azzuro project. Today we bring you an alternate Azzuro video made with Mauro but in a more traditional lo-fi manner. This is not an alternate edit but an alternate video made on different trips to Gibelinna with a different filmer and sometimes skating different spots.

One of the coolest things to hit the skateboarding internet lately is Azzuro, from my favorite Sicilian skater Mauro Caruso.  The video is just one component of this project, shot in two small, public art-filled villages on the island of Sicily.  Head over to Free Skate Mag for an interview with Caruso and a bunch of rad photos from Sam Ashley.

Jordan Coleman

\
Cruising Edinburgh and Glasgow, Jordan Coleman stands up for Scottland in this part for North Skate Mag.

Big Smoke

I typically think of Big Smoke as a nickname for London but some googling revealed that many cities including Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney have all had that nickname as well. So think Australia and California montage is called Big Smoke and includes a who's who of Australian skateboarding from Shane O'neill and Tommy Fynn to Josh Pall and one of my favorite photogs, Jake Darwen.

Full cast is: Tommy Fynn, Jack Crook, James James, Andrew Brophy, Brendan Gardoll, Johnny Tang, Chase Jaeger, Adam Davies, Bryce Golder, Josh Pall, Nathan Jackson, Adam Moss, Paul Battlay, Elijah Robertson, Mitch Morrison, Jake Hayes, Beau Reid, Sam Atkins, Quayde Baker, Matthew Reilly, Corey Leso, Phil Marshall, Dean Palmer, Shane O'neill, Jake Darwen, and Alex Lawton.

CHURB

Trendy skating from Bordeaux. CHURB is the latest offering from filmer Romain Batard featuring: Axel Thomas, Hugo Brillet, Armand Vaucher, Julian Thomas, Valentin Pasquet, Tom Poisson, and Ando Andony.

2017 Sosh Highlight

Competition is a good excuse to get people together and motivate them to do their best. Sosh Highlight is a contest requiring riders and filmers to make a video with just a smartphone. Creativity and the streets are key. Nassim Guammaz took top honors for getting buck and having a clean edit. You can see all the edits here along with some photos and more info in French. I recommend Victor Pellegrin's 3rd place entry which is probably funny if you know French but you can kinda catch on to it through the visuals. Oscar Candon took 4th with some solid skating and some really well thought out editing and effects. Coming in 6th was Chris Pfanner whose skating is undeniable but the final product lacked the polish of some fo the others. Igor Fardin's 7th place video is an excellent comment on trends and an impressive feat of skating, doing the same tricks twice.

Perfume

It is rare that I sit through an entire full length video but Sevenmad's Perfume held my attention for the full 30 minutes. A host of Madrid spot porn, torn apart by guys like Felipe Bartolome and Juan Virues and pieced together with a strong aesthetic by Roger Gonzalez. Perfume is well worth watching. Via: Kingpin.

Shinya Nohara in The Raw-Fi Video

Cool Japanese spots, handrails, quick feet, straight up street skating. Lots to like in Shinya Nohara's part from The Raw-Fi Video. Via: VHS Mag.
