Go Skateboarding Day 2014 in New York City proved once again to be the best day of the year as Eric Koston, Ishod Wair, Alex Olson, Brian Anderson, Stefan Janoski, and Bobby Worrest led a stampede of NYC skateboarders from LES park in Manhattan over the Williamsburg Bridge to Nike SB’s pop up skate park at 50 Kent in Brooklyn. Peep as Timbo brings you the full recap featuring action footage by RB Umali only on dose from Network A.

For the second year in a row the most fun to be had in Aspen during winter X Games was at the TheGoodLife! x Sailor Jerry Hideout. Situated at a secret ship shaped home tucked into the mountainside, TheGoodLife! x Sailor Jerry Hideout was where everyone from Halldor and Eiki Helgason, to Mason Aguirre, to Elena Hight, Gabi Viteri, and Jamie Anderson, to surfers Chippa Wilson and Kelia Moniz, and finally half pipe champs Greg Bretz, Louie Vito, and Danny Davis went once X Games duties were through. Why? Because with tattoos by the legendary Oliver Peck, cuts and shaves by Frank’s Chop Shop, music by Roofeeo and enough Sailor Jerry cocktails to supply a mixology convention, it was the perfect oasis for any hard working X athlete. For complete behind the scenes photos by Laura Austin including Danny’s classic ass tat and Louie’s TheGoodLife! tattoo head over to WeAreTheGoodLife.

Travis Pastrana rolled into town last week for the first ever Nitro Circus Live in NYC and gave Timbo and the dose crew an exclusive invite to check out the show before the doors opened to the public. It is one gnarly ass scene – all danger and no judges, with everyone just hucking themselves in the craziest ways they can think of. In other words, it’s rad! Check out more at NetworkA.

Switching hats from photographer to videographer, Akira Ruiz contributes some more rad content today with his excellent short from this year’s Harold Hunter Day. An old friend of Harold’s, Ruiz captures the spirit of the day in a way that would have made the legend proud. Enjoy.

Red Bull brought their rad “Bomb the Line” contest back to Berlin this year to correspond to tradeshow season in Europe and once again it looks like it’s gotta be one of the best formats out there. Which got us to thinking, almost everything Red Bull does is dope from dropping dudes out of space to resurrecting pro soccer in NYC to every major and minor action sports event in between yet their actual product is sketchy at best and poison at worst which just seems to point to some gigantic philosophical question about the meaning of life. And there we said it, Red Bull may hold the answer to the meaning of life. Wow.
