If you ever wonder who's is really on one in French skateboarding at the moment, the best response we could offer you would be the keys to hack Romain Batard's hard-drives… They all here: Parisians, non-Parisians, tourists, visitors and dabblers! We will set aside the Taveira case, here, as he steals the show here –as in every other skate edit these days– to highlight Felipe Bartolome that appears here with no more mane and in great form!
As a part of (sponsored) Europe is about to make its yearly pilgrimage for the BESA, it is an American citizen that reminds us why the city stands as that place where a certain type of street skating is practiced on impossible spots lost in abandoned neighborhoods… Another great production from Brett Nichols, and a casting of locals about perfect, according to us!
Wait, how come we don't have any "loop" emoticon on the site!? Oh, well… Well, Danny Sommerfeld earned his "Top Dog" nickname a while ago, didn't he? But you knew that already. Class!
Daniel Panneman is the talented kind, and you know that since his Propeller Island part… He teams up once again with Jo Peters here to film another one, and those two complete each other perfectly in capturing what the streets and courtyards of Berlin of the vast city of Berlin can offer… One could also state that Daniel's skating seems to have refined, most likely a consequence of his hard work on Place?
Many new heads in this new LurkNYC prod', in between up and coming kids and summer tourists. Where we note a very mean featuring from the Place heads! Nice one!
Beware, your Sunday is about to start the best possible way! We announced it yesterday with Danny Sommerfeld's Galerie, –he's the TPDG Supplies main man– here stands, as a LIVE exclusive, the newest video production from the German gang. And boy, you're in for good stuff… The street skating we all dig, tech or raw when needed, with both power and finesse. Add a custom track by Figub Brazlevic, and you are in for a couple of motivational viewings before getting out the house! Enjoy the click. Oh, and Danny shuts down a famous spot, in the most glorious manner in here!
Ah, Warsaw, its spices, its evil rhythms… Wait, what!? No idea who came up with the idea on editing a week of skating in Poland to a boiling hot salsa track, but this is genius. Oh, let it be known that, at LIVE, we are all about Danny Sommerfeld, so, yep, we love it!
This trip to Berlin makes for a pretty heavy edit, but, in the end, it might be Danny Sommerfeld's line at Kulturforum that stands out the most to us… Top Tog raw power!
Cruise through Berlin from touristy cornerstones to DIY spots, all the way to a Cons Space that will get you stoked on what form it might take real soon in Paris, with a live and improvised soundtrack by Fortunato d'Orio: now this should give you a breath of fresh air before the week-end!
Skateboarders like to do their own thing, it seems to come with the practice… Hence the endless amount of time spent with friends after every session about how “you would do it better”. Some people even do have a go at it…
