Quaked - Christchurch earthquake skate video

More Skateboarding Videos

This video has been bouncing around Twitter recently.  Following the 6.3-magnitude earthquake in New Zealand in February where 63 people tragically lost their lives, these skaters have made the best of a bad situation taking advantage of the warped and destroyed town for a unique skating experience.  These guys got heart!

M.I.A's got a dope video, new skate series from Vice, Zinc's done a April Crack House Mix, and go cop a new track from Benga

For M.I.A's new single "Born Free" she's got Romain Gavras to to direct a 9 minute short.  It's dope, well worth watching!

The cultured folk at Vice have also launched their next installment of Skate Europe, this time focusing on Denmark.  It takes a look at the skate scene from the 1970s right up to the present.  This is part one, and you can watch all the rest over at Vice's own video website, VBS.tv.





Zinc has also released another Crack House mix.  Not to be missed, especially as it starts off with a cheeky "Tron" edit.  Eurgh!

VBS - Skate Europe - Italy

Here's part 1 of VBS's 'Skate Europe' series.  It's a pretty cool insight into Skateboarding in Italy, especially the old 80s videos.  Worth checking out.

Watch the whole thing over at the VBS website here.  I would post it here but Blogger doesn't allow the embed script from the VBS site.  Ho-hum.


Another note, VBS were in Norwich at a clubnight I was dj'ing at on my birthday (large up Pow!).  They spring on me with a camera asking for my political views and who I was gonna vote for.  I professed the Liberal Democrats, and they then asked what political issues concerned me.
My mind went blank and instead of talking in depth of my support of Human Rights, Net Neutrality, and protection of public services, all I could come up with was a more liberal drug policy and how terrible it'd be if the Tories got in.

I reckon it came across more like this though.



NOT THE ONE!
