Kevin Blann Throwaway Part

I have been working on a little project with Kevin for the last couple months. He decided to let me release some of his throwaway footage here on the site. Kevin is one of the best dudes to go skate and film with. His skating is very spontaneous, and he is certainly not afraid to think outside the box. That, combined with BIG pop, he reminds me of a mix between Leo Valls and Jimmy Lannon. I'm psyched to see what Kevin has in store for us later, but here is a little teaser of what's to come. Enjoy!

Jordan West for Instrument Skateboards.

My good friend Jordan just released some new footage for our viewing pleasure. He has really been killing it lately. Be on the lookout for his new part in the next Instrument video that will be out sometime this year! Cincinnati skateboarding at its finest.

A Weekend with Carson and Tedd

This weekend was pretty productive considering how hectic my schedule was. I definitely did more working than I did skating, but that's just the way things go sometimes. I was able to go out with Carson and Tedd for a bit, and we were fortunate enough to get some clips. Here are some photos from our outings.

 

Tedd Cookerly- Pole Jam

 

I'm really proud of Tedd. The dudes 41 years old and he is still pushing himself and progressing with his skating. Tedd learned pole jams in about 20 minutes and then proceeded to do more pole jams in an hour than I have ever done in my whole life. We are working on a little video part for his 42nd birthday, so be on the lookout for that in July. Tedd Rips!

Tedd was nice enough to point the camera at me long enough for me to do this No- Comply Pole Jam. Thanks Ted!

Helvraiser- No Comply Pole Jam 

 

We all know Carson is really good, but he blew my mind when he warmed up with this trick. Carson has a new part in the works, so be on the look out for that sometime in the near future.

 Carson Silva- Nollie Heelflip FS Noseslide

Carson killed this spot. He almost broke his ankle between the ledge and the rail right before he landed this switch back tail.

All in all it was a pretty good weekend. Now its time to go back to the real world for a bit. See you guys in the streets this weekend!

Loudpack by Joseph Charlton

My friend Joe Charlton just made his video, Loudpack, available online. The video features full parts from two of my favorite Columbus skaters, Chad Butler and Dan Charlton, as well as some montages featuring a slew of different rippers. If you haven't seen it yet definitely take the time to watch it here, or do one better and buy the video on Street Canoe.com. I personally believe every skater in Columbus should own a hard copy of this video! Enjoy!

Alex Deweese and Justin Henry

Old Skool Skateshop riders Justin Henry and Alex Deweese just released some of their footage that they have been sitting on for the last year or so. Really psyched on how both of their parts came out. Awesome skating from two of the best dudes I know.  Check them out below.
