December already? How did that happen?

Well, a lot of things have come out in the last month or so as people clamour for the Thrasher Skater of the Year award and/or get stuff finished up before the year is out..

Can’t really go wrong with an edit starring the stylish Erik Herrera and surely one of the best skaters in the world, Louie Lopez.

I’ve enjoyed every video in the ‘Jante’ series from Sweden, this one is no exception. Filmer Fritte Söderström proves he is a real master of the filming-from-in-front technique which is a very tricky thing to do. Great skating too, of course, from Gustav Tonnesen and co.

Fans of SF hill shredding will hopefully have already seen the excellent (and, by today’s standards, long) video from Deep Fried starring Chris Athans, Mason Colleti et al.

Another longer watch is this cool documentary chronicling the short but significant life of a lockdown-era DIY spot in London. Recommended.

Lastly, my old pal Satva Leung is the latest Chromeballer. Good to see as I’ve always thought he was/is underrated; that sw. f/s kf ninja! (Picture above from a trip to Paris back in 2002 for Transworld; this pic was unseen until it appeared in PP5)

Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..
