Check out this sick little edit of Sven “Sprosse” Lehmann going bananas at Mellow Park. The kid goes huge! It’s not Miami, though, he’s in Berlin biiiitch! Via KHE Bikes.

For Holiday 09 Quiksilver will be dropping three new signature skate jeans. Developed for Reese Forbes, Danny Garcia, and Alex Olson, all three pieces feature stretchable, moisture-wicking Cool Max fabric. Sound too techy? Hell no. Radcollector took all three pairs out on a test skate yesterday and in hot-as-balls NYC, you couldn’t ask for anything better. The little bit of stretch takes the chafe away and lets you hold shit in your pockets without the seams immediately starting to bust. You definitely don’t get nearly the hot crotch and the jeans stay pretty dry. All three are good cuts with minimal detailing, so no one will ever know your secret. Individual looks after the jump.

Nike 6.0 BMX has joined the fight against the planet’s over reliance on gasoline by teaming up with Beat Gasoline, an organization trying to reduce gas use. To launch their campaign they dropped this rad PSA of Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Nigel Sylvester, and Mike Spinner ripping around London and demonstrating what we all know is true: skating or riding any city is way more fun than driving a car. They are also running a contest for the best home made videos illustrating this point. Winners will get product and a donation to charities of their choice. Go here to enter.

Mike Blabac will be in NYC tonight for the east coast pop off for his book and sig shoe. It will be cool to see who comes out of the jungle and over to DUMBO to the powerHouse Arena for “Blabac Photo: The Art of Skateboard Photography,” and the Blabac Azure Mid. Party starts at 7. Full info after the jump.

Go Sk8, a new iPhone app that simulates a game of S.K.A.T.E. has just launched in the iTunes store. If you’d rather hang out on your phone rather than actually skate, you can play ledge, manual, transistion, and flat-ground versions with the challenges chosen by a “trick wheel.” Interestingly, Danny Gonzalez is the spokesman for this app, that was a smooth transition! Go here to download for $1.99. Via Skateboarder Mag.

Sneaky sneaky, Nixon! After killing the hype machines all spring with their Rubber Player blind release campaign and promising that there were no more colors to be had, Nixon has busted out a serious encore with the drop of two new Rubber Players – black and purple. Hands down, these are the freshest yet. Check HighSnobiety for detail shots.

IPATH has another nice release in the pipes, the Mantis. Clearly influenced by the Grasshopper, the Mantis also pulls heritage from the Fred Gall pro model with a removable ankle strap and the Darius with its vulcanized sole. Look for the Mantis to drop as part of the Holiday 09 delivery. More info and looks at another colorway coming soon.

Who knew MJ had so many fans in skateboarding? Here is another tribute tee, this time from Diamond Supply Co. A bit more cheerful somehow, than some of the others we’ve seen, Diamond’s version takes it all the way black to the Jackson 5 era Mike. This will be available on Wednesday July 1st at Diamond’s online store at 11am PST and in-store at their LA location on Friday July 3rd. Via CtotheJL.

Back in March we showed you the fresh Western Edition 10th Anniversary Miles ‘59 Quintet Series decks. Well it turns out that they also hooked up a one of a kind pair of Vans Sk8 Hi’s as a cherry on top of their anniversary cake. A perfect extension of the deck artwork, these feature full panel close-up illustrations of Miles’ band members and a tri-color Western Edition logo on the back. You will absolutely not be able to get these. Via NSB.org. More looks after the jump.

DC just announced that James Cox will be riding for their UK team. Check out his very skate influenced steez in this welcome edit. Via VitalBMX.
