We showed you a preview of the new Tony Hawk video game, Ride, a little while ago. Well the mother of all video game / electronic conventions, E3, is popping off right now and so we have a look at Tony’s new deck controller in action. Strangely enough, it doesn’t look nearly as fun as skateboarding for real. Actually it doesn’t look much like skateboarding at all. Read more about it at Engadget.

This doesn’t seem like enough evidence to confirm anything yet, but according to Ferrari Murakami Koston has officially made the switch to SB. Here’s the shot of his text message that “proves” it. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens next!

This insane, high speed, so stylish it hurts video of Dennis Busenitz has been blowing up youtube. Its already been uploaded and disabled like ten times. For your sake, we hope this one works. As they said on the Huf blog: Too Sick! Huf via Quartersnacks.

DC has just announced that Matt Miller and Marquise Henry have joined their Am team. Coming out of Sacramento, Miller has already popped off parts in TransWorld SKATEboarding’s “And Now”, Zoo York’s “State of Mind” and DC’s upcoming Am video. SoCal’s Henry has already been up in the bonus parts of “Mindfield” and will also be on the new DC Am vid. Peep DC Skateboarding to see their welcome video.

It’s a shame. Yes, I have to admit: Ben Fisher wasn’t on my map until now. Until now! He’s the latest recruit at the Berrics and I’m amazed by the skills and style of this Long Beach ripper. The comment I’ve read on some page: “This kid makes the future look brighter!!!” Nuff said.

Not to be confused by the OG Santa Cruz pro of the same name, Tom Knox is a young ripper out of London, England who is lucky enough to have an older bro (Josh) who is a damn good filmmaker. This perfectly crafted video is a great example of what brotherly love can do for you as well as a nice roundup of London-town spots.

Following his shoe launch this weekend at PITCREW Bobby Worrest is taking it up a notch by throwing what many are already saying will be the party that shuts NYC down for the rest of the summer. On Saturday June 6, the éS showroom will attempt to survive the all-out mayhem that will surely ensue with nearly every major figure in street skating in town for Back to the Banks, Red Bull Manny Mania and the Street Dreams premier. Treats include music by The Blackouts and DJ Sega and a giant frozen block of Coors Light flown in direct from Colorado. Full party info after the jump.

Thrasher’s Back To The Berg went down yesterday in San Francisco. Looks like it was completely off the hook. Watch Chris Cole, Nick Merlino, Lindsey Robertson and more going huge off the big four plus Lizard King killing it in a “Kill Yo Self” tee!

Alphanumeric has just dropped their summer t-shirts. A nice mix of graphics and colors with a couple of V necks thrown into the mix to switch things up make for another strong line up from a brand that always knows how to do tees. Available at Laced LV. More looks after the jump.
