Pink Limousine

"Pink Limousine" is an excellent surprise of a new video by the mighty Calvin Millar for Roger Skateboards, Michael Sieben's original initiative amongst many others of his out of Texas - for a moment, let's use the opportunity to link you back to their previous video offering for more info, as well as allowing it to duly shine once more.

Today's is also worth its weight in viewings, as one can safely bet those will remain fresh for a long time as the main featured skaters - Max Taylor and Ryan Thompson, the finest local crème de la crème - both radiate coolness, all the while opening doors. The duo just recently went pro for Roger; and if here, the team as a whole comes through, they in particular obviously tried hard and somehow managed to stack copious amounts of mindblowing clips, despite the relatively short time span since the last Roger video. All sublimed by Calvin's VX-1000 expertise we should be used to by now, yet keeps surprising, and edited with impeccable flow. Special mention has to go to Ryan's absurd pop and savant style.

Roger that!

Roger Skateboards (formerly Program Skateboards, formerly Roger Skateboards, formerly Bueno Skateboards) is the board company ran out of Texas by Michael Sieben, the artist who, in top of his personal activity, also regularly illustrates the pages of Thrasher Magazine, when he isn't drawing shirt graphics for Vans or Volcom (which, a decade ago, even granted him his own YouTube show, foreseeing the later arrival of podcasts: The Internet Shack). Roger's imagery is notoriously wild to say the least, as many of their deck graphics such as "Skate Switch For Jesus", "Ghost With A Boner" or "Weed and Cobras" promptly rose to indie skate pop culture status.

Anyway, Roger's been back in full force for some time now, led by a more-explosive-than-ever Ryan Thompson (whose skating you should be familiar with if you've watched some of Calvin Millar's edits, and maybe even if not) who brought a deep crew along for six minutes to street and ditch prowess: namely Reese Barton, Brian Gonterman, Max Taylor and Marshall Manuel, all in front of Dieter Galvan's lens.

Down, down, down…

This is bound to escalate quickly, all the while going downhill... The brand new GX-1000 full-length video is now online! Farewell VX, hello HD is the first shock of many to come, mostly induced by the terrific hill bombs down the steepest streets of San Francisco is the crew is well duly renowned for. Every ingredient inherent to the series is present: the confused bystanders, the creative tricks on untouched spots, the full speed slams, the car accidents, the interactions and spotters at most every intersection. A couple of years after their original full-length, then "Adrenaline Junkie" last year, the recipe still comes through, timeless as it is; or when landing your trick is just the start of the most enthralling bad trip!
