Max Taylor

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.

Forty-Three Is Twelve!

Maybe you remember Calvin Millar, the Austin, Texas-based filmer who recently gifted the interwebs with this little gem of a Paris trip clip. Well he's back - and quite drastically, let's reckon as it's a full-length video he's delivering this time, for Elias Bingham's skateshop No-Comply just now celebrating its twelfth anniversary. "12 STREET" can be peeped no further than just above, without a surprise only to reveal itself as a slick watch, full of Roger decks, great vibes and one amazing Ryan Thompson part!

Five stars trip

Converse reveals the One Star World Tour 2018, sixteen days of traveling through the United States, Paris and London with the team that we like so much. And for this year’s edition, it looks like it’s the young skaters (European for some) in the spotlight with a Felipe Bartolome on fire and a breathtaking Kaue Cossa. All this announces only good things for the future.

Postcard from Texas

Well, from Austin, which from what we hear is quite different from the rest of the state… And, you are not going to regret this trip! Sprung is proof of a vivid local scene, and you will not expect every other spot, that is for sure!

Characters!

Calvin Millar is back, with a rather original format, allowing him to mix lifestyles shots and skating in a subtle, yet effective way… Then, the "on a trip" group energy is depicted in a great way.

Texas represent!

Let's ease the come down the best way possible by visiting Guru Khalsa and friends on spots we don't know at all, which is always a plus…

double-up

Always cracking a joke, while keeping it in good taste when it comes to pick up riders, the Roger heads do it once again with a young buck that doesn't look like one. Add Max Taylor that you know already, and an edit making fun (a little) of the whole "90's rap" trend: can't go wrong!

Wax Taylor

The non-French might miss out on the pun, but apart from that, between innovative rusted metal waxing techniques and a clean and varied use of a suburban space that doesn't necessarily spark interest at first sight, young Max teaches us a lesson on adaptation to the world that surrounds us.
