A blast from the past, SLC style

If you are from Salt Lake, then you need to watch this vid that we came across today. It's 30 min. of a crew, including the YouTube uploaded Colin Taufer, straight up ripping around Salt Lake City in the late 80's. There are some spots that I don't think people ever knew existed, like the Fairmont pools. Those pools were abandoned for years before Fairmont skate park was even a thought. It's pretty cool to think while I was pushing around my skateboard on my knees, these dudes were just down the road killing it! This might be the only footage in existence of skateboarding in Salt Lake. Pretty cool! Enjoy the nostalgia!!



Thanks to Colin for the upload!!

What's he carrying....is that a gun? Skateboard.

Oh the things you see in LA. Like this latest incident in Van Nuys of a guy trying to out longboard the cops. You aint no Busenitz buddy and you aint gettin away with shit on that surfboard with wheels. Going down.............Bam!



Never stood a chance!! Only thing that could have made this better is if he would have used his front foot to propel himself to his arrest. Next time.

To the dome!!

Some Australian news reporter named Mike Amor got the aftermath of a kickflip benihana right to the back of his dome! This is a textbook news reporter mistake. Everyone knows to never have your back turned while countless hammers are going down in a bowl right behind you.



He was kinda asking for it, don't ya think? But damn I kinda want to see that trick go down.

UPDATE: After further examination the kid grabs his board with an indy grip after his kickflip, so this technically is a one foot kickflip indy.

All on my Longboard!

Well we said we would find the good shit and that is just what we did. We got this tasty nugget dropped at our doorstep today and oh my god. Let's just say you might want to go cook a bag of popcorn, sit down and watch the hilarity ensue.

This my friends is gangsta rapper Stoney S Babe singing about life on the streets........on his longboard! Do ya thang son!

uuhhmmm yeah.

Back on the horse!!

Well guys we're back on the horse!! These posts might not be as frequent as before but we'll be sure to share the good shit we find.

First things first is David Gonzales' kickflip into a storm ditch. This is by far one of the sickest kick flips I've ever seen. We'll let the video speak for itself.



And the last thing for now that I actually just watched for the third time is Louie Barletta's Overexert part. This made me so stoked to just go get on my board and cruise around. Full length DVD comes out today and you can get it on iTunes on Nov. 10th. Enjoi!!

Some good ole fashion skating…...

Roller derby chick Michelle Steilen tears up the streets and gets down and dirty at some famous skate spots with her bones infused roller skates.

This chick kills it and no doubt needs a part in the next bones video. I mean let's be honest, without roller skates there would be no skateboards. Respect!

Dolan Stearns in Youth On The Run

It's not often, especially these days, that you find a skateboarder that encompasses the very essence of skateboarding, enter Dolan Stearns.  Whatyouth.com's first episode of a new web series, called "Youth On The Run", features Stearns talking about skateboarding, life, art and stick and poke tattooing. Stearns is a legit ripper and just an all around down to earth kid who's creativity for life and skateboarding is through the roof.  We hope to see more of him in the near future. Check out the vid from the link below.
