Tag: Full Part

Our friend and editor in chief is having a great month, He has an interview in the current issue of Solo skate mag and yesterday he put out a new part together with Converse. Because we have known Daniel for a pretty long time it is nice to see somebody who is not afraid to change up or fine tune his style with each part he puts out. This part shows you what Daniel and his friends have been focussing on both spot and trick wise. Enjoy!

Actually it is the custom that the greatest parts get announced far in advance, so usually we are prepared to get sparked. However, this mind-blowing part from Karsten Kleppan and Jon Henrik Kongstein came just out of nowhere and causes open mouths. In case you are still reading, stopp here and hit the play button and get enchanted by the duo who have been shredding their home town in Norway every spare moment this past summer.

Usually, when it is raining a skateboarder stays at home sitting at the window with a crumpled face watching the drops falling down. Skateboarding and rainy weather just do not live in harmony with each other. Well, I said “usually” because Element Skateboard’s Phil Zwijsen defies the laws of nature to film an unbelievable full part during rainy days and nights using wet and slippery grounds as an advantage and turning puddles into spots.

Honestly, I never heard about Nick Michel before and I probably would have never come across this part if my friend Edouard Depaz would not have posted this on his Facebook feed. It seems like Nick Michel’s part was initially produced for some whatever contest by Transworld Magazine and maybe the headline is an expression of dissapointment about his loss or maybe just a little self-irony. I don’t know. However, this is a really great part the world should see, not just because of Nick’s skating, the filming is on another level as well.

It has been a while, but Alex Mizurov is back. We asked the guy who made himself an international name ten years ago by defeating Chris Cole in one of the most reminded Games of S.K.A.T.E. ever, how he himself sees his new part and his development in the last couple years:

“I would not really say that I got either better or worse. I think I definitely developed in the sense that my skating became more fluid. And, of course, I used to wear more baggy pants and larger shirts back then, today I like it rather plain.”

UBG Vol. 1 is a full length independent skateboard film shot in the city of Melbourne featuring, among others, Geoff Campbell, who almost got hit by a car but after that moment of shock luckily delivers a part with a great trick choice and his well-known one-of-a-kind style. Too bad the part is just 1:40 minutes.

I have always been a big fan of Josef Scott’s way of skating. Some people just have this style that looks so chilled like they do not give a damn about anything. It is that kind of style when someone even can land a trick sketchy and still the trick was “perfect”. Certainly, Josef Scott rolls away clean most of the time, but whenever the trick gets a little sketchy you will know exactly what I am talking about. However, this is a very solid part!

We proudly present the first part of Favorite Skateboard’s first full length called “Daggers”. Berlin’s Valentin Ott is one of those type of skateboarders that don’t use social media, that still own a dumbphone and rather stay away from the spotlight and therefore erroneously are very much underrated. A fact that might change for Valle with this full part!

Lucas Puig is known to many of us as one of the best to ever do it, Quartersnacks named him the skater of the decade, Dill said his tricks are like bullets, so Adidas decided to mix his best footage from the last five years seems like a great idea! Even if it is just to refresh your memory, or to find out why those people said what they said about Mr. Puig. As for us, we feel like this redux only solidifies why Lucas is deserving of all that he’s got.
