Throwback – The Allure of Long Distance Skateboarding
Skatefurther has been around for a almost decade. Lots of miles have passed beneath us all. One of our biggest highlights was watching Rob Thomson skate his way into the record books. Rob became a great friend of Skatefurther and it was always awesome to check into the old forum (R.I.P.) and see where he hadContinue reading “Throwback – The Allure of Long Distance Skateboarding”

Info – Welcome Albert
Here’s the first of our new contributors. Albert! The asphalt under your polyurethane wheels. A feeling of absolute freedom. The combination of total control and willingness to give in. To listen to the trees crackle, the birds chirping and the wheels rolling. That is – for me – the ecstasy of skating. I am Albert, a 20Continue reading “Info – Welcome Albert”
Throwback – Skate USA 2005
This one takes us back. But not to the very beginning (more on that later!). Back in 2005 a certain Adam Colton and 3 friends skated the 3000miles (4800km) across the USA to raise money for The East Coast Round Wall Foundation. The trip took 2 and a half months and not only opened manyContinue reading “Throwback – Skate USA 2005”
Throwback – Ultraskate IV
Back in June 2008, the idea of an Ultraskate was still new. James Peters over at Pavedwave had been putting in the miles in Seattle and spreading the stoke across the world and for the 1st time the Ultraskate went worldwide. In the days leading up to the event the stoke was high as peopleContinue reading “Throwback – Ultraskate IV”
