For those of you still hungry for Theories of Atlantis content despite the very recent drop of the first ever Picture Show Studios montage by Josh Stewart, this time, it is filmer Jake Todd's turn to present "DIAL 215" for wheel brand Dial Tone (also brillantly backed up in the task by a handful of colleagues). Here, we're talking four minutes worth of VX-1000 featuring Philadelphia as the portrayed playground of choice, and canvas-meets-punching bag for talents such as Mark Del Negro, Neil Herrick, Kris Brown but also Kevin Liedtke and Tyler Dietterich, apparently not tired in the slightest from their performance in the aforementioned Picture Show edit. And then there's a new addition to the crew: Shawn Macmillan, the new am for Dial Tone, straight out of Boston. The whole piece is really well made and one can only notice how, in the year twenty twenty and despite many comparable miles under the trunk, KRS-One's conscious rap is still as fitting as ever when it comes to complementing the noise skateboards are known to make!

At the drive-in

Picture Show Studios is the new deck company recently initiated alongside Theories for your soft goods-related needs by Josh Stewart - the man behind the "STATIC" videos - and his friends (of Theories Of Altantis, the N.Y.C.-based independent skate distribution platform - can you still keep up?). The enterprise bears the strength of supporting names that otherwise regularly fly under the mainstream radar, such as the ones of Taylor Nawrocki or John Baragwanath - something the two minutes of VX-1000 footage accompanying its public reveal only bears witness of! Special mention for John's apparent ease on that ollie up, then nollie backside heelflip down applied at quite the unpractical spot for this type of maneuver.

Pizzabotage

As though to make Philly rhyme with Italy that much better, the Sabotage Productions crew (no strangers to the LIVE squad) recently went to apply a certain science of ledge skating refined by many a generation of their ancestors to the marble structures of Milan, in order to check how universally their traditional knowledge would apply. Although a heavy one, the "Photosynthesis" heritage hereby proves to be tax-free as far as exportation is concerned, and the crew's destination looked like a mere playground to them.

Jahmir Brown, Tyler Dietterich, Juan Algora, Kevin Bilyeu and Dylan Sourbeer are all in, strong of their usual vintage tech and sharp nollie flips, whilst Brian Panebianco handles the production as brillantly as he never fails to and, once again, the whole story's M.V.P. turns out to be Joey O'Brien with his sheer power, infinite lines and his name in big on the poster of a well-deserved last part, in which he ollies a river with a style reminiscent of Jeremy Wray, amongst other tasteful intricacies. Milan hadn't known a worse sabotage since that Po oil spill.

D.J. Dub's tip: "Dub"

Philadelphia, P.A.'s M.V.P. crew Sabotage is back with "Dub", a web clip orchestrated and executed by Brian Panebianco who - side note - happens to kill it on both ends of the lens. Kevin Liedtke and Tyler Dietterich are, officially, the primary focus of this new production but in reality, most everyone part of or tight with the crew has at least a clip, from Mark Suciu to Jamal Smith or say, Dylan Sourbeer, Ishod Wair or Kevin Bilyeu. Quite improbably, Sabotage just seems to (somehow) better itself with every new output - both the skating and editing are as sharp as they get, as though since the locals lost LOVE Park (a classic spot the decline of which has been documented by, notably, Euro Jon), a certain rage drove them to go all out on rampages through the entirety of the city of brotherly love. Even those who only made it as far away as across the street, to skate Muni, could teach a class of ledge finesse or six - maybe twelve.
