PCP INTERNATIONAL EXTREME GAMES: SKATE BEST TRICK OBSTACLE

Putrajaya Challenge Park presents International Extreme Games this Sunday. Check out the ledge and the bank for the skateboarding best trick competition below from Frontside TV

CONGRATULATIONS MALEK (ALBERT) HUE

Congratulations to our old skate friend from the late 80's; Malek Hue Abdullah (back then famously known as Albert Hue; former hip hop singer in a group known as Krash Kourse back in the mid 90's. Now an independent film director) who recently married to Melor Emily Darby.

"Semoga Berkekalan Selama-lamanya"

ROB DYRDEK FLIP WITH CHEVY SONIC CAR

Professional skateboarder and MTV star Rob Dyrdek did something with a Chevrolet Sonic on last Saturday that's never been done before: a kick flip. That's what they call it when a skateboard, or a car, corkscrews off a ramp, landing back on four wheels.

The stunt was part of a Chevrolet ad campaign that started with the new hatchback driving out of a plane with a parachute like a skydiver. The Sonic then rolled off a 100-foot tower with a bungee cord attached. It seems a simple shot of the car on a mountain road is a bit too mundane these days.

Dyrdek was a good pick for the stunt. He's part of MTV's Fantasy Factory TV show, which involves him and his friends doing stunts at his warehouse. He also hosts the video-clip show Ridiculousness and had a starring role in one of Ken Block's Gymkhana videos.

The car got a few modifications for the jump, including a roll cage, racing seatbelts and upgraded shocks to absorb the landing. The fuel tank was modified to hold only a few gallons, and the battery was moved inside the roll cage. Other than that, the Sonic was basically stock.

As the saying goes, don't try this at home. Dyrdek also was trained by drivers from the International Stunt Association before doing the trick.

MARK GONZALES PROFILE & INTERVIEW

Mark Gonzales; 42, also known as "Gonz" and "The Gonz," is an American professional skateboarder and artist. He is known in the skateboarding world as a pioneer of modern street skateboarding, currently skateboarding's most popular form.

Gonz came on the skateboarding scene at age 15 with a modern approach to street skating and made the cover of Thrasher (magazine) November 1984 issue, riding a board from Alva, his sponsor at the time. He soon changed sponsorship by riding for Vision Skateboards and shortly thereafter turned professional.

Gonzales won the 1985 Oceanside street contest and placed high in others that year. By then, Gonz was shifting street skating away from the vertical skateboarding based style that had been the standard, to a more technical one based on the freestyle skateboarding of Rodney Mullen. The most notable trick Gonz transferred at this time from freestyle to street was the kick flip ollie, and by 1986, Gonzales could even be seen doing double kick flips at demos. In the summer of 1986, Gonzales performed a groundbreaking ollie at the Embarcadero in San Francisco.[2] So historic was this incident for skateboarding, it became forever known as the "Gonz Gap" and helped make the Embarcadero a popular location for skateboarders.[1] Later that year, Gonzales became the first person to skate handrails, thus cementing his contribution to street skating's early to intermediate stages.

Gonz went on to further influence street skateboarding as it modernized with the 1991 video Video Days by Blind Skateboards (a company he formed with Steve Rocco in 1989). And in 1993, Gonzales was the first to ever kick flip his namesake, the Gonz Gap at Embarcadero, as well as the first skater to do the Wallenberg Set 4 block. After leaving Blind Skateboards, Mark went on to start two new companies: ATM Click and 60/40 Skateboards (which 60/40 is now defunct). Mark skated for Real Skateboards before launching Krooked Skateboards, a brand under Deluxe Distribution.

To anyone who knows anything about skateboarding Mark Gonzales needs no introduction. To those who don't know, The Gonz is a legend, a fearless and anarchic exponent of a style of street skateboarding probably best described as insane. I owned a pro model of Mark Gonzales skateboards from Blind skateboards bought at Isetan, Lot 10 back in 1991. It's a classic memorable board that i regret for selling them to my friend.

Without intending to, Mark Gonzales has achieved a legendary status, not only for his skateboarding prowess and prolific art practice, but also for his aloofness and unpredictable antics. Recently, Oyster Mag pin him down long enough for an interview, albeit a rambling and slightly random one. Read them here on Oyster Mag issue 95

SKATEVENTURE: SOUTH EAST ASIA TRAILER

Check out the previous post HERE, HERE and HERE.

In January 2011, Troy Bilbrough and Huw John longboarded from Mae Hong Song in Northern Thailand down to Singapore City. The total distance skated was 3500km which encompassed mountains , lakes , wild elephants and more...

They travelled self supported and camped in hammocks in the countryside , along the coast and in the hill tribes, they experienced some amazing things far off the beaten tourist trail and were lucky enough to see the 'real Thailand'.

Along the way they met so many amazing people who took us in and looked after them even though they looked like cavemen and hadn't showered in weeks , they cannot thank you enough for their genourosity.

SKATE CASE

Cool invention and it’s really for sale, and patented in a partnership with the University of South Florida. There’s something to be said for coming up with an absurd idea and then seeing it to fruition. Highlights include using a skate case to carry a small netbook, which sounds like an excellent idea. There’s a regular popsicle stick version and a longboard version that holds, you know, “…two composition books deep in there as well as many pencils.” Witness campus cruising, acid drops and even kickflips! f i'm still a student, i would have them cruising around the campus.

LEGO SKATEBOARDER

“Who cares what anybody thinks? I skate for me!”

Some Minifigures skate for fame. Others skate for thrills. But for the Skater Girl, it’s all about having fun! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about her skating skills as long as she can feel two things: the wind whipping through her streaked hair, and her custom-painted board beneath her feet.

But sometimes the more you try to avoid attention, the more of it you end up getting. Thanks to her carefree attitude, the Skater Girl has gained a huge fandom devoted to discussing all of her latest skateboarding tricks and stunts. But she doesn’t care – they can say whatever they want, and she’ll just keep on doing her own thing her own way!

I’m not sure what’s up with that outfit. She looks like some sort of goth Ronald McDonald. Check it out here.

This is the perfect spot for an awesome new stunt!”

To the Street Skater, the whole city is one big skate park. No matter where in town he may be, everything around him looks like just the right location for his next mind-blowing skateboarding stunt.

People all over the city are used to seeing the Street Skater rolling up and down stairs, along railings, through fountains and even across the branches of the city park’s trees. He’s such a familiar sight that the streets just wouldn’t be the same without him and his famous skateboard!

Check it out wherever Lego is/are sold.
