SKATEBOARDING NEWS THIS WEEK

Palace Skateboards open their 2nd Japan Skate Shop

Palace Skateboards already have a Tokyo skate shop, and now plan on opening a second Japanese Skate Shop in Osaka. 

To celebrate the opening, they've released a collection of cool Japanese Dragon style graphics in a collection. As well as the garms and hardware, Palace have also released a minute of beautiful Osaka skate footy. They absolutely kill an electric box spot and do some tasteful wallrides.

Jeremy Murray's New Part on Free Skate Mag

Jeremy Murray releases a sick part filled with high pop, sick lines and some impressive pinch manoeuvres, finished with a unique ender. It was filmed and edited by Mike Sass, who did a quality job. The tune is mint too, kind of like a psychodelic soul / jazz tune.

Cyril Jackson's part in Derek Ironwing '216' Cleveland video

First of all, I love Cyril Jackson. I'm hyped to see him bringing out a long video part, with some unreal varial flips as always.

Now it's time for me to start chatting shit. First of all, Straye sucks, they're the shoe brand for people who can't get on the corporate brands. Their models are like if Vans and Cariuma had a baby. The tunes wholesome but boring and half d the part is filmed on a weird little go pro which makes the footy shakey, dark and grey.

However, to stick to the positives, Cryil does a huge switch ollie and some sick lines. Cryil is always worth a watch.

Lil Dre drops a steezy part

Lil dre, a favourite with the shop youth, comes through with a sick part, featuring tasteful slo mo and a statement: Lil Dre is sick at heelflips. Switch heels, back heels, nollie heels, he does some bad ass ones. The musics cool, everythings clean and there's some loooooong ass grinds and some biiiiig ass stairsets.

The Best Impact Skater's Rough Cut

Chris Joslin is the GOAT at skating fat drops and massive stairsets. So when it comes to rough cuts, his are usually the most brutal and therefore the most fun to watch.

This one is no exception. In true Chris Joslin fashion, watch him tackle huge flip tricks down gaps. I love watching Chris Joslin skate because he always takes the process on with a smile, sometimes getting battered for hours before landing bolts.

Majick Crew bring out a new skate video, another enjoyable 4:3 crew classic

Underground skate group Majick Skateboards have been featured a few times on the blog. It's been nice seeing them get better with each project they bring out. This one's definitely my favourite to date, with special credit going to the filming 🤌🏼

Pylon Skateboards - Never Heard of Them, But I Won't Forget Them!

I've never heard of Pylon Skateboards, but they're sick! Admittedly, I tried to translate 'Faquine' but couldn't work out what it meant.

But I don't mind, the video is quality. A great team with a heavy emphasis on nuts transition skating. A crew to keep your eye on.
