I spotted this awesome video over on SkaterGirl yesterday, these girls rip! It features pro and amateur skateboarders including: Julie Kindstrand, Abby Zsarnay, Nora Vasconcellos, Priscilla Lee, Erin Wolfkiel, Justyce Tabor, Lizzie Armanto, Tuna, Christina, Jess Starkweather. Head over to SkaterGirl for more info.

To celebrate Ryan Decenzo going pro Darkstar sent us through some signed stuff including one of his pro model decks and an A4 poster. We are keeping the deck for now but the poster is up for grabs. I use the term ‘poster’ loosely, really it’s an A4 print out but it is signed so it’s pretty cool.

There is an interview with him on the Darkstar site and they have put out this little video full of hammers…

All you have to do to win the ‘poster’ is send us a link to a video of you or your friends skating on YouTube and we will pick our favourite.

1. The quality of the skating isn’t the most important part, the prize won’t necessarily be awarded to the person that does the biggest tricks but to the video that we ENJOY the most so it could just be you mucking about doing tricks in your garage or killing a curb.

2. The prize will be for the person who sends us their video, not the person in the video, unless of course you want the person in the video to get it.

3. You can submit more than one video, just put a blank line between them so that the links don’t get messed up.

4. DON’T TRY TO EMBED THEM IN THE COMMENTS, JUST POST THE LINK FROM THE ADDRESS BAR AT THE TOP.

5. Include your name.

GO! Post your links in the comments, we look forward to watching them…

We got a load of awesome new Vans in today, including a whole bunch of canvas models which are absolutely perfect for the summer, they are at home both on the beach during the day and at the punk gig into the early hours. The Authentics are vegan too which is a bonus for, uh, vegans and animals worldwide. I’ve only posted my faves below so be sure to check out both the mens and ladies Vans pages on the site for the full range. We have them from a UK 4 right the way up to UK 15, we try to keep a decent range of big skate shoes in stock at all times cause we are nice like that.

I’m sure you will agree that there are very few things cuter than puppies and skateboards are pretty cool. So, a puppy on a skateboard should, in theory, be super cool and REALLY cute.

This is mental, if you are afraid of heights, falling from great heights or just generally falling maybe don’t watch it.
