Converse Contest Carnage – the resurgence of transition

July 30th, 2011 by william | No Comments | Filed in bowl, miniramp, nostalgia, skatepark

Over at VBS.TV they have a doco about the resurgence of transition skating and bowl comps. This is something I’ve noticed over time, from when transition sucked and it was all about street, to now when some skaters are making transition their primary skateboarding experience. Some cool footage from some cool videos.

I have to agree with Lance about “connecting to the next generation”. The beauty about skateboarding is that each generation remakes skateboarding into how they see it. Different things are cool and skateboarding always has a fresh take.

Stereo Agency Thursdays: Steven Webb, Mini Ramp Sesh at Pasadena Tennis Courts

May 24th, 2010 by william | No Comments | Filed in miniramp, video

I had been looking for some good mini ramp videos lately for the boys. I thought Jim’s Ramp Jam was a good example, but apparently there are too many grabs in it. Didn’t realize mini ramp had changed.

Anyway here is some modern mini ramp footage from the Stereo Website by up-and-coming flow guy Steven Webb, lots of coping action.
