Welcome to another episode of 'Heard It On The Great Vines'

where we talk about the latest skateboarding videos, skateboard magazines, skate brands, skatewear & gossip that's been releaesed over the last week.

Polar Skate Co. has dropped another banging full length with their latest video, "Everything is Normal."

This video is a testament to why they’re at the top of the bunch in regard to skatewear popularity. The crew's style, tricks, and vibe are on point, as always.

Featuring skaters such as Kiki Kakitani, Shin Sanbongi, Oskar Rozenberg, Hjalte Halberg, Paul Grund and Nick Boserio, "Everything is Normal" showcases a mix of gnarly street spots and smooth transitions.

Polar's boss, Pontus Alv, has once again proven his genius in curating and directing. Each clip is a piece of art, blending creativity and raw talent. The soundtrack is another highlight, perfectly syncing with the flow of the skating, enhancing every trick and line.
This video isn’t just about tricks; it’s about the culture and camaraderie that make skateboarding special.

It's an instant classic.

Catch the virtual highlights of last weekend's festivities when the Polar Skate Co. team visited the UK, hitting up Leeds' Welcome Skate Store for an exhibition and then onto Project House for a skate jam and video premiere. Can't beat a good old fashioned jam with the pros, locals and visitors can ya?

The Quasi and Vans Skate godfather Gilbert Crockett absolutely wrecking spots that require balls of steel for 15 minutes, along side some random bits and bobs. 

As always, I'm a simple man, I see Gilbert... I click. I even gave the vid a thumbs up in the hope the algorithm will show more youngers Gilbert's funky big man approach to street skateboarding.

T-Funk has finally said F*** the culture and went for that sweet corporate bag via Nike SB. And fair play! He deserves it ⭐

Looks like DC Shoes weren't paying the bills, which alligns with their move to boot 90% of their roster over the past year. Now I'm really excited at the possibility of a T-Funk / Oski video 🤩

The video itself is pure Tristan Funkhouser, hill bombs, funny faces, ollie norths and fat gaps.

In true Pizza style, the 16 minute installment from Pizza Skateboards begins with a 1960's Italian banger. No BS, just straight street gaps and ledge skating.

Sacramento's diverse skate spots and vibrant community provide the perfect backdrop for Pizza Skateboards to thrive and innovate.
