ASR BLOWS but the ramp contest is still sick. @pstonebru and Schmitty made a recap of the contest.

Dustin Dollin continues to pump out the best skateboarding reality show not on television. In this episode, Lizard King talks about his beatdown/nosejob at the hand of Geoff Rowley and his coke snorting first aid plan. Mermaids, falling off the wagon and so much more. For this I’m making up a new word, unmissable. “This is the best fuckin’ life I’ve ever lived.” -Lizard King

Hang on homies, it’ll be summer again soon. Here’s a little Aaron Suski and Collin Provost summer in Puerto Rico footage from Volcom to keep you warm.

If you’re anywhere in the NYC vicinity Saturday night, make sure to get out to support one of skateboarding’s fallen soldiers.

Recently, Chima Ferguson, Volcom photographer Andrew Mapstone, master lensman Su Young Choi and I headed out to the Arizona desert heat to meet up with Aaron Suski. Along the way, we stopped at the Wild In The Parks Championships, the Salt River east of Phoenix for some tubing and the Saguaro National Park. Here is a short video and photos from our adventure.

If you’re not watching Dustin Dollin’s oddly captivating 7 Day Weekend series you are missing the best skateboarding reality show not on television.

If you’ve got some time to kill, start at the beginning.
