Journey – Push for Trees

Journey – Paris to Madrid – Connor Strudwick I’ve only just found out about Connor’s trip. He’s a local lad to me and it’s probably a good idea he set off on his trip through France and into Spain before we got introduced and I fed him a load of really bad advice. This isContinueContinue reading “Journey – Push for Trees”

Review – 1166 Pacemaker

Albert gives us the lowdown on a beautiful looking deck. The 1166 pacemaker. It was about a week ago. Cruising the boulevard, a sunny sky blessing every meter I rolled.

Review – Revolt Alchemist

“Precision for long distances, but why? It does not matter, you don’t go downhill!” That’s what most people tell me when I run precision trucks under my pushers. But once you’ve ridden 100 miles on end. Once you’ve pumped until you step off your board and you puke and collapse. Once you’ve known the trueContinueContinue reading “Review – Revolt Alchemist”

Interview – Dodoboards

It has been a little while, but when I started thinking about picking up the hobby of longboarding I was lost. Reddit and Facebook gave me all kinds of new words -all kinds of new expressions- that I did not know. I for one did not know what a board was built from and whatContinueContinue reading “Interview – Dodoboards”

Profile – Eric ‘E-Love’ Lowell

Way back in 2008 the Ultraskate was very new. James Peters had completed a couple of 24-hour skates by himself in Seattle but this was the year when Eric Lowell joined him.
