The Skateboard Mag’s “The Mag Minute” is always worth to watch as they are often showing good footage of new talent. This time it’s Zach Wagner, who’s proving here that he really got what we call “flinke Füsse” and has a good sense of the the spots. I’m pretty sure the future looks bright for Zach. Good one!
While we’ve been hearing tales about Zach Wagner’s ability shred, we had no idea dude was so sick he could backlip across the entire state of California! Check that ledge spot if you don’t get what we’re talkin’ about, pretty awesome. This Mag Minute obviously comes through with the goods so hard that it’s no surprise why Hurley, Val Surf, and Lakai hook Zach up with the goods. Big thanks to Zach and Matt Williams for coming through with this banger. Watch the Mag Minute here.

Out for some weeks now, Lennie Burmeister’s new pro model should be now available in finer skatestores in Europe. The graphic is a reinterpretation of the 80’s classic Psycho Stick from Vision Skateboards and was transferred into 2009 by Skism. Funny coincidence – Baker Skateboards announced the new Dustin Dollin pro model a few weeks later – guess the graphic idea behind that one…

In it’s ten years, the Transworld Riders’ Poll has evolved into the snowboard industry’s pre-eminent awards event, and not because of corporate buy-in and bullshit but because the winners are voted in by the riders themselves. The 2009 awards were handed out in Vegas last week and the winners are… after the jump. Here’s a hint though, Travis Rice took home every award he could and no one was surprised. Kid is just that ill. Via Transworld Business

DC has teamed up with Detroit based skate artist Mark Penxa to create the graphics for their 2010 PBJ Series. A true twin jib board made especially for street and park riding, the PBJ’s skate heritage is called out by Penxa’s psycho animal pencil and ink drawings. Check out an excerpt from DC’s interview with Penxa from their 2010 Snow Book:
The initial idea was a couple boards with a yeti snow monster from those old marionette Christmas stories. Then it changed to a whole series based on these sort of ficticious animals around the MTN.LAB. Taking that old school Jim Phillips skate aesthetic, and making it my own, which I’ve been honored to be associated with. And keeping it ’80’s skating in mind graphic-wise, the project really developed – but it took longer than I tought it would. I usually do a three-board series in a day. If I can’t finish quickly I kinda freak out.
Aaron Bittner came up with an amazing idea that there was this weird zombie infection going through the MTN.LAB, and all the animals living in the shadows had it. The top sheet graphics are each animal hanging on the wall like taxidermy. Since he created this whole story about the infection, there were a dozen people wondering who killed these things. Did Ken Block kill all these animals? Porupines had attacked his dogs so maybe he did it to save the LAB. Aaron has a monkey on his new board – maybe the monkey did it? It got real comic booky, real fast.
