You’ve already heard of Australia’s Modus Bearings, but have you paid attention to their astonishing team roster including Grant Taylor, John Rattray, Colin Kennedy, Andrew Brophy, Luke Croker, Sammy Winter, Chewy Cannon, and a slough of other talented rip riders? Along with the help of Adrian Syben and David Bush, they just released a short video spot with John Rattray. Them bearings roll longtime.
Along with Dig A Pony owner Nicholas Musso, We Are Runts (WAAR) have been putting together a series of videos narrating the process of repurposing the “stuff” that reminds us of our youth; nostalgic items of naught. The project manifesto states, “As we get older, our natural accumulation of “stuff” is inevitable. Over time, an occasional claustrophobic freak out results in a cleansing that will thin the heap we’ve amassed, but regardless there always seems to be that stuff that never finds the bottom of a trashcan. Depending on what you do or did, this stuff could be clothing, cards, photos, stickers, skateboards, records or CDs, etc. One inevitable fate exists for them all…the dump, or someone else’s heap of stuff. Very rarely do these things stay with us throughout our life, and we often reminisce on times when we had them, could fit in them, or even when we had a purpose for them. It’s a shame to look back and wonder how much life and use was actually left in this “stuff”, or what a fresh eye could [have] made of them… The idea was to take them, regardless of condition, and define a new purpose for them, pool skewers and cruiser shapes… Enjoy.”
Une capsule c’est un petit montage comme ça en passant. Celle-ci a été filmée à Paris principalement fin 2011/début 2012.
The Magenters just sent me their latest video edit featuring a quick jaunt to Paname (Paris). I love these videos. This one includes Soy Panday, Jimmy Lannon, Leo Valls, Vivien Feil along with locals and visiting friends.

In an industry inundated with Limited Edition everything, it’s cool to see a brand like Fallen exercise some restraint and keep the collaborations to a minimum. This means that when they do release the occasional collaborative product, it’s that much more special. In this case, we have James Hardy’s pro model shoe, The Rambler, mashed up with his sponsor and camping culture enthusiasts Poler. Check the video for the credentials and check your shops for the product. Being released Fall 2012.
Part 2/2 of the video document on Broadcast was just posted on The Berrics the other day. You can catch up with the first segment here. Thanks to Brock Mitchell and everyone at The Berrics for making this happen!
There’s a whole lot of accent marks in John Tanner’s list of sponsors: Cliché, éS, and Broadcást. Check the video for John Tanner discussing the classic Game of SKATE.
Tim & Eric will now be skateboarding with Broadcast urethane. And if they aren’t kicked off the team by 12.12.12, they’re going to possibly release a full (short) video Pizza Dae on iTunes for only 12 cents! Unless they forget, which they probably will since that is like twenty years from now. We always appreciate the Roger Skateboards family. Check wiskate.com for more. Congratulations, gentlemen.
Broadcast Yo Self 2010 concludes with this episode of Nyle Lovett leaving divots on the concrete fairways of Indiana and beyond. Each month in 2010 Broadcast sifted through stacks of submissions and featured videos created by you. Since you’ve seen enough high-production mainstream skate cinema this year, sit back and enjoy some raw skating at 540px.
“Don’t you realize? The next time you see sky, it’ll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it’ll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what’s right for them. Because it’s their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it’s our time. It’s our time down here.” – Mikey from the 1985 film Goonies
Pass the proverbial peace pipe and introduce yourself to Kelly D. Williams, a sweet-toothed family man that is stuck with a vocation in art direction, design, photography, and brand management. His work has bloodied the faces of organizations like 2K by Gingham, Altamont, Analog & Burton, Compatriot, éS, Juxtapoz, Los Logos, Nike, SLAP magazine, and his company Broadcast.
