Just when you thought you’ve seen all the stupid stuff, it gets worse. Some days ago, we’ve shown you the Ollie Buster and now it’s the Magnetboard. Probably nothing new, but i just stumbled over this new piece of stupidity. I mean, if you can’t bust an ollie, just start rollerblading, scooters or hoola hoop…
Really wanna see these clowns bail on a 12-stair Lipslide.
It’s more likely something you buy your 4-year old nephew to get him (probably) into skateboarding, but nothing grown up men play with – miniboards. If you ever tried to skate on one of those you know how hard it is to only bust a plain and simple ollie or pop it into a grind. But what Zero Pro Chris Cole is doing here on a mini is just amazing. BS Tailslide Big Spin offs? Kickflip 50/50 on stair ledges? Lipsliding a rail? Wait a minute – that’s after effects, right? Check the video on Zero Skateboards.

Colorado’s Friends of the Environment crew just dropped the trailer for their latest film, “Send & Destroy,” featuring JJ Thomas, Dylan Alito, Colin Spencer, Alex Cutler and a bunch of other dudes lucky enough to be living in pow country. Friends of the Environment is also a crew with a heart and work to keep their eco-imprint low by only releasing their videos online (no packaging) and hiking unless a snowmobile is absolutely needed. They must have strong legs. Via ESPN.
Hawaii’s In4mation has been a skate and streetwear heavy for a minute. With a unique perspective drawn from island culture as well as a firm understanding of the power of global relationships, the In4mation crew has worked their way up to a perch near the top of the trend making hierarchy. Transworld Business has an excellent interview today with In4mation’s Todd Shimabuku tracing the store’s roots, the current state of the market in Hawaii and of course their plans for the future. Read the whole thing here.

Eric Koston leaves Lakai? Well, rumors are spread and this funny press conference video by Lakai might be a late April Fool’s… but it’s not as the Lakai page states. So far, there’s no information on where Eric is heading. Possibly he’s joining his Berrics-buddy Steve Berra on DVS, possibly he’s not and starting his own company. But one thing is for sure – Koston won’t be sponsorless for more than a few days. We’ll keep you updated.

Slap magazine has just put up a super dope interview with Caswell Berry. A sick multimedia presentation that includes an audio interview, 11 pages of big action shots, some animated sequences, and a shitload of video, its definitely an example of primo online skate content. Check out the whole shebang here. Via SkateDaily.
Emerica, Beams and Ed Templeton have linked up for another round of their triple collabo. The shoes don’t look super wearable but the tee is fresh to death and packaging is sick too. Full detailed looks at the entire pack after the jump.
