"Even if he had just got clean and didn't even want to skate, I would have been so happy for him. Like, that's already huge. But the fact that he wants to be a pro skater and put out parts too, it's just like icing on the cake. It's just like, dude, legendary.”

Out There: Antwuan Dixon
The latest 'Out There': Antwaun Dixon, skateboarding's best comeback story
Antwaun Dixon has everyone's favourite style - His chill, arms-down style is nostalgic and internationally recognised. Skateboarding has always loved him as a character and skater, but he was away from the public eye for a while, facing problems with his temper, alcohol and stints in jail. Now, he's looking healthy, embracing Christianity and keeping it G! We love to see it!
After recently landing the cover of Thrasher Magazine and releasing a part for FTP, Thrasher follows him and gives us an insight into his life behind the scenes.

JAEB | DEBUT for Quasi Skateboards
Dylan Jaeb goes pro for Quasi Skateboards with a bonkers part
Dylan Jaeb joins Quasi Skateboards, which is a nice fit! Quasi have turned Dylan pro immediately, which is well deserved. I'm excited to see Dylan Jaeb and Bobby Dekeyzer in the same video soon. That fakie flip ender may be the best fakie flip ever done... just bonkers.

I know I shouldn't talk about his ender as the highlight clip but god damn... Dylan Jaeb fakie flip

SK8MAFIA return with their micro board for MICRO.4 EVA
SK8MAFIA brings us another instalment in their micro skateboard series. These SK8MAFIA videos are always good fun. The stuff they pull off on this micro board is truly impressive and makes for a really unique project. There's a massive, quality roster of skaters that tested the micro board in this one.

Magenta HEADQUARTERS Chapter 3/3 - Flo Maillet, Jimmy Lannon, Jesse Narvaez, Ben Gore & Shogo Zama
Magenta Skateboards release the final part of their HEADQUARTERS video
Last week, we covered the first 2 chapters of Magenta's HEADQUARTERS video, and the third chapter is my favourite of the 3. I love Magenta videos; they always have sick spots and fast-paced skateboarding filmed on a Sony VX1000. Pure 4:3 fisheye goodness. However, I'm sure they speed those fisheye clips up a little 🤔

Aimu Yamazuki, Keyaki Ike and co. in "100GUMS"
100 Gums, a ledge-heavy video with Japanese influence
This week's Japanese excellence is featured in this footage filmed and edited by Naoya Morohashi for his full-length "100GUMS”. The footage includes the likes of Aimu Yamazuki (who featured last week). It also features both Louie Lopez and Ishod Wair, as well as many more heavy ledge hitters. There are some insane ledge clips filmed brilliantly at night.

Keenan Lewis – IRL
Keenan Lewis' new part, IRL, on Free Skate Mag,
Keenan Lewis and his fimer Jean-Luc Vida went out to film a quality 3-minute part on Free Skate Mag, featuring some nice handrail skating and tech combos, as well as quality filming with a blue, contrast-heavy scene file. However, the B-roll shots after every single clip annoyed me, and the music was boring, yet fitting...

PASS~PORT PRESENTS MATTHIEU LUCAS-D'SOUZA
Matthieu Lucas-D'Souza joins Pass~Port Skateboards
Mattheiu Lucas-D'Souza is the latest rider to join Pass~Port, bringing us a sick 3-minute part. The part is a great watch: He's a smooth operator and all his clips are filmed brilliantly in HD 4:3 😍.

Spezzatura - PANORAMA 4
A new Spezzatura Panorama video!
Spezzatura (meaning effortless grace in Italian) videos feature a crew from Italy, but there are clips from all over the shop in this one. As usual, the filming is ace, the skating difficulty level is high and the soundtrack is elite.

Gifted Hater - KYSL 0.2
Gifted Hater releases the second Killer YouTube Street League
KYSL is a new, improved Street League format in which YouTube's finest skateboarders and friends compete at one of Gifted Hater's local skateparks.
After a fun, successful first Killer YouTube Street League, Gifted Hater returns with the second KYSL. Be warned, it's quality entertainment... but it's like an hour long! You'll get invested.

Welcome Home Torey | Plan B Skateboards
Torey Pudwill brings out a comeback part for Plan B
Torey Pudwill was releasing loads of footage around when I started skating in 2013. He was one of the most well-known pros. He's slowly left the scene, rarely seen these days. So I'm hyped to see him release a new Plan B part. It seems like he's left Plan B and come back, but I thought we was still on anyway 😂
It has what you expect: Torey Pudwill doing insanely long back tailslides to some terrible music.
