David Martin

Jan 5,2013 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

David Martin is a young kid from Surrey that skates at Chuck Bailey and Fleetwood Skate Parks a lot. He hasn’t been skating very long but I’ve gotten to know him pretty good. He comes to my Skateboard Competitions and has been in a few of the Camps in the past couple summers. He’s one of those kids that loves to learn new tricks but isn’t really worried about being the best. He’s a fast learner and tends to be consistent with his tricks. Once he learns a new one, he’s on it. I’m sure if he sticks with it, he’s most likely gonna be really good in about 2 more years.

Here’s a little video David sent me of him rippin’ up Fleetwood Skate Park

Local Boyz gettin’ Buck!

Jan 5,2013 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

I think that’s a saying that the cool kids now a days might say, but who am I to know? I’m not gangster…

Here’s some of the younger Surrey/Langley Loc’s throwing down some solid tricks filmed yesterday at Skate Plaza, Chuck Bailey and some random street. Props for being out there filming in these icy-assed conditions.

Kory Laan, William Savage and Mathew McCauley – 3 young rippers that all love street style skateboarding, and all like to land bolts on every trick they try…

Give ’em props

Andy Anderson in Cloverdale

Jan 3,2013 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

Andy Anderson, one of the most talented on the Protest Skateboards Team spends a day at the infamous Cloverdale Skate Park located on the Country Side of Surrey. This park is rough and tough, and is actually going to be removed next year once the New Cloverdale Skate Park is fully constructed and opened. The old park has been around since about the year 2000 and has always been a bit of a hit and miss spot. Some of the obstacles are really awesome and taught lots of today’s top amateurs, and even some of the local pros quite a few tricks, and then there’s the other obstacles that you look at, shake your head a bit and say, “What the F were they doing??”

Of course Andy Anderson picks all of those obstacles to skate so it’s pretty sick to see how he rips them up.

Coastal Riders Holiday

Jan 3,2013 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

David-Wayne Stevens and 116^th Productions released this awesome recap of some footage from some of the Coastal Riders Crew from 2012. The team is overly stacked so getting footage with these guys is easy, and add in Dave’s sick filming and editing skills, it makes for some quality viewing. Check out Mike Schulze, Dustin Locke, Andrew Classon, Magnus Hansen, Tommy Gudmunson, Scotty Tyson, Jordan Zazula, and more as they terrorize the streets of the Lower Mainland. Switch 360’s, huge kickflips, and some ledge tricks that are tough to name properly – give it a watch…

Ty Williamson – Best of 2012

Jan 1,2013 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

It takes a lot of patience, dedication, and time to be a good filmer. Ty Williamson has been pumping out video edits all year and has come out with this compilation featuring some of his favourite clips from last year. A good filmer needs good people to film and he has that part taken care of. Then all it is is practise and experimentation. Everything that I’ve seen from him this year was worthy, can’t wait to see how he steps it up in 2013.

Here’s his Best of 2012 video featuring Gilbert Turenne, Adam Tickner, Blair Higginson, Keenan Hargrove, Andre Tsougrianis, Michael Segers, Ryan Prasad, Michael Nguyen, Brad Komar, Jason Wilson, Daniel Ruiz, Dylan Boyer, Casey Grainge, Ben MacDonald, Derek Oye, Tony Phan, Jordan Smail, Jackson Wakabyashi, Adrian Wnorowski, Dan Pageau, Dylan Ackimenko, Myself, James Benson, Michael James, Matt Latham, River Tavis, Dave Jonsson, Tom Korop, Lanny DeBoer, Jesse Holland, and Micky Papa.

Happy Halloween!!

Dec 31,2012 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

Strange time to say it, but it’s for a good reason. Anyone who was present at this year’s Leeside Halloween Jam has been patiently awaiting the Fun City Video by The Zenga Bros….

Well, here it is, full of chaotic tricks, crazy costumes, and a buttload of fireworks.

Adam Hopkins – The Ultimate Warrior

Dec 30,2012 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

One of my personal favourite Local Skaters comes out with yet another video part for 2012. Ultimate Distributors, in association with Black Label, Bones Wheels, Bones Bearings and Concrete Skateboarding Magazine proudly present this edition of On the Reel featuring Adam Hopkins. Adam has been in the province of BC for about 4 years now and has made a big name for himself since his arrival from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Known by most for his unique and stylish vert and tranny skills, especially those padless 540’s, but also being known for killing it in the streets, Adam is a go-getter when it comes to skateboarding. He’s young, tough, determined, ambitious, innovative, and skilled. Put all that together and it equals amazing.

Once again – give it up for this year’s King of the Bowls – Adam Hopkins

Credit for The Dominator

Dec 28,2012 / By Protest Skateboards / No Comment

16 year old Dominic DeVries entered a video into Ride Channel’s “Shredit Cards” to win Credit at Tampa Skate Park and totally came through. Congratulations Buddy!!

Anyone around here knows Dominic, and understands fully why I refer to him as The Dominator. Flip Tricks, Rail Tricks and huge Gaps, put ’em all together and it’s worth big bucks… Now he just needs a ride to Florida.

Check the vid.

The End of the World is here…

Dec 22,2012 / By Hippie Mike / No Comment

The end of the skateboard video filming world anyway. Spencer Hamilton just raised the bar with a completely flawless video part for Expedition One releasing his new Pro Model. There’s not much to say about this part except – “Damn, Spencer Hamilton is sick!!”

Watch the part and buy his decks – support your local skaters.
