Tony Hawk collaborated with a water company called Liquid Death, which mixed a vial of Hawk’s blood into the paint that they used on the skateboards.
Tony Hawk is probably the most famous name in skating, and he seems like a pretty decent bloke, too.
More than two decades after skateboarding icon Tony Hawk made history, 11-year-old Brazilian Gui Khury has gone one better.
In an amazing real-life car chase (they get them in America), the thief uses a very original mode of transport as his “getaway vehicle”. Except he probably could have run faster…
I think we all expected science to have progressed a bit further now, giving us flying cars and carpets and teleportation. It hasn’t, just yet, but here is a hover board!
Young five-year-old skating prodigy shows her moves, which will make you feel like you’ve underachieved MASSIVELY.
Here’s another case of when good times go bad – and you can actually feel the pain ripple through your body. Skateboards are not for ants.
Dig in to the old archives, photo albums or just anywhere epic where you can get your hands on a VINTAGE surf or skate image – you might skate away with one of these…
We’ve seen dogs do it, so why has it taken so long to see a cat on a skateboard?
Downhill skater, Dec’io Lourenc’o, will not be prosecuted according to Cape Town traffic enforcement. This is a far cry from the words of JP Smith, Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, and his response to Lourenc’o’s “reckless and negligent” behaviour captured in YouTube videos filmed on Kloof Road and the Glen to Clifton. Why? The videos […]

A video showing a gang of skateboarders speeding down a tree-lined mountain road is currently racking up a lot of views on YouTube – especially due to a section that shows one of them colliding with a buck. It is believed he was speeding downhill at about 60 km/h when the animal decided to be a square.
Tony Hawk was the first person ever to land a 900 on a skateboard. For the uninitiated, that means that he flew up the one side of a half-pipe and spun around 5 times (180 X 5 = 900). That’s pretty hot. He did that in 1999, and now a kid named Tom Schaar, who […]
A skateboarder from Johannesburg died yesterday after colliding with a truck on the Franschhoek pass. The 28-year-old sustained fatal injuries to his abdomen, chest and head and was declared dead at the scene.
Growing up, Sam Khumalo and his friends used to skate in and around Johannesburg, exploring the hard concrete world of the city. He became an explorer. Every corner, every curb became his playground. And the search for the next spot never stopped. For this pro-skater, who now runs and owns a skate shop with a […]
A group of skaters armed with handheld cameras take a run through Christchurch in the aftermath of the magnitude 6.3 earthquake in February. As earthquake-stricken citizens go, they seem pretty optimistic! And the video is very cool-looking too. Take a look.
