Not taking life too seriously.

Lance Mountain, timeless frontside air at Bondi Bowlarama 2010.

Lance Mountain has always been one of my favourite skateboarders. Mainly because of how much fun he seemed to be having in his old powell video parts, but also because of his style. It great to see him still shredding after all these years, still with the same humble attitude and effortless flow.

A Fair Go.

Melbourne skater Rees smashed his teeth out on Trevor Ward’s vert ramp in Torquay the first weekend Trev set it back up. He was doing a frontside nosegrind, frontside grab in and slid out.
