i need to relax from my MTA rage. so here is one of the best things i have seen in awhile. a casual vid from Kyle Leeper and Etnies. this is a real skate vid imo. no big banger. just style and flow.

mars in 39 days? i’m in.

” 10- to 20-megawatt VASIMR engine could propel human missions to Mars in just 39 days, whereas conventional rockets would take six months or more.”

almost 1/6th the time. all kinds of good things there. but as 2 months in a cast taught me. your muscle atrophy really fast.

heres something old. but whatever. this guy has to use crutches all the time. but he can still flow like a master.. and front side wall ride on crutches is pretty much 100% boss.

did powell have fun?

happybattle — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:10:05 +0000

so powell’s new video “fun!!” is available for all who wish to pay the entrance fee. i didn’t, but got to watch it anyways. i don’t know really who run’s it now. is it still peralta? powell? i dunno. the cooperate self makes the whole thing a wash. their powell, powell peralta, mini logo, bones, and more. anyways, in many ways, here’s a great example of, your only as good as the foot you put forward. do nothing, and, thats that. powell at least made the correct turn at the intersection. they got a bunch of young skaters, and went filming. coming up with a mixture of modern tech, ledge/lip tricks, and hugh drops & gaps. nothing to be scoffed at here really, skateboard wise IMO. equally as good as any of the other big videos that have come out recently. just with out the name recognition. but, thats also the biggest problem.
i mean, why care other then its powell.. and what has powell done for anyone recently. other then make great bearings, and bushings, and various stuff like that. powells current art direction aims from not good. to down right horrible.
as an old man army skater. the sound track has some good points, with 80s pop hits playing through a 3rd of the video. how did they license vanhalen?
it’s possible, the total lack of the art concept is an art concept. but thats sorta like arguing you used the color red because it was the color red, and not because you liked it more then blue, etc.

ok ok, anyways. so the vid got me psyched up on powell. i was like. yeah powell! i wonder what kinda decks you have. hey! cool ligament tech! straps of carbon, good concept, blabla. oh hai. our boards are ugly as sin, and our 2 pro models look like they may have literally been done by the skater in question.
shit. im off topic.

if you must watch a lot of skateboard video. then this is a must given powells skateboard video history. and their is a plunty a good time, and big tricks. what it lacks in style (a complete loss off), it makes up for in big tricks, and some bombastic (yeah i said it) skateboarding. at worse, borrow it, and think. hey, powells not half bad. but remember to return it. cause thats weak. the perma-borrow.
