In Print is working to put together a skateboarding photography magazine and are gathering the best of the best skate photos to use as a kind of first issue / Beta / test magazine.
This beta magazine will just be a way to preview what the eventual magazine will look like, and to help decide the best layout / formatting options. This beta version will likely be available for you to purchase through whatever online printing service we choose, but we'd make no profit from it, it's just for fun and a great way to showcase your photos.
Our ultimate goal is to make inprintmag.com a spot allowing skate photographers to upload photos, where people can vote on wether or not they should be included in the In Print magazine. It will be a magazine you & other photographers will edit yourselves.
There's still a lot of work to be done, and we appreciate your consideration. If you have any questions, feel free to ask via email : bill AT inprintmag.com -OR- crap AT inprintmag.com
The Kearns Skate/BMX Park features 24,000 square feet of terrain with a street plaza and an individual bowl to help complement one another. The street plaza features gaps, multiple height benches, transitions, stairs, handrails, ledges, step-ups and hips. Also in the street plaza is a “Pier 7 Block” that has been replicated from a famous skate spot in San Francisco, CA and also replicated is the “Macba Gap” which is a famous skate spot in Barcelona, Spain. The Park was designed with the input and suggestions from hundreds of Kearns residents. Thanks to all of you that made this wonderful facility a reality!
Click Here for the lipslide 360 shove sequence. I tried to make this small 2 set ledge look as big as possible in this sequence, and with a wide fisheye and a few a quick wrist moves i think i was able to do so. Unlike lucas's other sequence this did not come quick, in fact we got pretty lucky with the natural light, 10 more minutes and I would have needed to use flashes.

this gem of a ledge proves that there's always more to find and skate downtown, you've just got to check enough alleys and parking lots. Lucas flings a quick boardslide pop out, over a sewer and into a hill bomb nonetheless, not that anyones keeping track.
To wrap up the year we have a really mellow, happy edit for you lot.
It features most of the dudes you will see in the film, and some cameo appearances from some of our close friends.... BOB!
Basically, this edit contains footage of stuff that won't feature in the film. Hopefully that gives you an idea of the progression that we're making in terms of skating and film making.
Our new year's resolution is to finish 'Prism' for you guys. We think you'll enjoy it!
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, things have been rather busy.
The footage is piling up day after day, which is obviously an extremely good thing.
To add to the footage count, the music count is growing too!
As some of you know, the music for the film will be sourced from Drawn Recordings. We've been lucky enough to bag some awesome tracks, which you will eventually get to enjoy when the film is finished.
You lot will also be able to enjoy an edit or two very soon, but in the meantime we've got a few pictures for you!
Seemingly my whole life has been a lead up to this skatepark. Ever since i've known skateboarding (ever since ive know fun) the idea of a legit place to skate in the beaches has been a like a holy grail. Downtown missions, day trips to cummer, sauga, and markam skateparks, or a ghetto old rail and box set up on the block were usually the only things you could count on to skate all day, short of going to greenwood and getting robbed and roman candled by some pint size slim shady in a night gown.
Tyjae Farrugia-Armstrong is practically a park local he's at the park so often, even though this nollie back bigs on the huge wall/bank came all the way from Pickering, Ont. Just a testament to the legendary status Ashbridges has gained since its creation, much less than a year ago.
Joel is a real local, watch out for this guy hanging out at the park. He needs no warm up for playing skate dice or games of skate, so don't even think about it. Ive been left penniless a few to many times. Front Smith.
East York Skatepark came as a glimmer of hope after the years consistent failure to follow through on the cities pledge to build more skateparks in toronto. I couldn't possibly count the number of skate comps events and demos in hockey arenas or rec center skateparks that fund raised for the hope of a permanent place simply skateboard.
Shawn Whitten brings this nollie flip all the way from Oshawa, but much like the set wasn't quite finished.
Frontside boardslide by a homie from brantford, let me know if anyone knows this guy's name.
Bobby De Keyzer of Whitby drops off a quick first try backside flip
on the double as if it were part of his morning routine, before heading off to Arizona and then California for more backside flips, backside flips of perhaps epic proportions if the ease at which he copped this is any indicator.here we have yet another younger skateboarder, Kevin Tio, putting the older dudes to shame as a result of the rigorous training that goes down here on a daily basis in normal sessions. But you cant blame him for his advanced skills at a young age, five years ago you just didn't have a park with a perfect set of every size. Bigflip.
The STSA (Southeast Toronto Skate Association), Hammer skate shop, along with SBC skate mag and the goons of East York skate team all played a large part in organizing the massive funding for the Ashbridges Skate Complex, including countless other people, even I remember running around the school yard getting petition signatures in elementary school.
Click here to view the sequence. Perfect pop and balance, andrew sniffs out a down manny pad only a few minutes skate away from the lakeshore skatepark.
click here to view the sequence. Chad stops this noseslide bigspin pop out through a thorny rose bush, after landing a few he wasnt happy with and giving me a chance to slap on the fisheye, which I ended up liking a lot more that the long lens.
This was the first handrail photo I ever shot street, and although the background is overexposed and my skater slightly underexposed, im still pretty happy with it considering it was first try. I had a little too much head room in the original so i cropped a bit out, if i just went closer and pointed further down the rail would have been more bent and gnarly looking. I am very happy with the timing though, which is usually something I suck at. FIRST T
DANG! Nolan demonstrates his never ending progression on transition in park or street with this front 5-0 to switch back crook. And this ain't no skanky stall, count those frames of switch crook, yup five frames of grinding.
He then proceeded to boost this frontside ollie over my fisheye and back into the bank, only after flinging a few bunts at my camera and flashes.
Mr. Kai Hoecke of frg films then found time to put down his camera and put up this back tail stall, fancy styles.
Tanner Grisbrook then backed the back tail by rollin up and smokin a blunt stall on the beastly bank, which may be a little steeper than it appears on a screen.
Nate finishes up the session with a throw back to the old school days with this hyper speed boneless 5-0 stall, can't no flash freeze this guys fast feet.
Nollie bs flips are pretty hard to shoot, especially when you working with a set only a few feet wide with a handrail in the way, that being said I would imagine it was probably a few times harder to actually land the trick rather than just ask some friends to hold flashes and press a button. good work joey
Click here to view sequence. Yet again another trick on this spot that deserves flashes, but I can forgive Griffin for just wanting to barge this spot with no set up, security was watching us through the glass so Griffin managed to commit first try. Hopefully he can forgive me for blowing the first few frames, as I will try to used to this FIRST T business.
Click Here to view the sequence. I blew it pretty bad here. Trying to make the photo look more interesting I used a wide aperture and a deep focal length to isolate joey's kickflip in the focus, instead i focused more around the roll away which made the pop grossly out of focus. Next time I try to get artsy with depth of field, ill shoot beside the skater. Once again I left the spot saying at least I captured the trick, but lesson has been learned and I know I wont blow it this bad again, if anyone even sees this that is!
click Here to view sequence. note to self, if your shooting on a cloudy day and the only light source is behind you, ALWAYS USE FLASHES, no amount of contrast or exposure changes can make this sequence properly lit, oh well at least I captured the trick. Next time though nolan, you can wear shades, sissy!
Jason Rodziewicz proves the park is still skateable after lights out...
What is there to say about the now nationally infamous Dunbat. Not much that isn't already common sense to all the locals who pretty much treat the park like a second home. If you don't already know you probably never will, but the simplicity and perfection of this skatepark is, in my opinion, unrivaled by any other skatepark in the world
Poyner gets the ramp up in three days, rain or shine
It's got a mini, if you can call it a mini, the things almost got vert on it. Its got flat,
if you can call it flat, being used as a hockey rink in the winter time the park is not
only the smoothest, but also the most even (sorry ashbridges speed bump ground) surface. Its got rails, 18 feet long and circular, its got ledges and manny pads, and my favorite obstacle, even a triton
barrier Master skate architect Rob Poyner
Jason again, this time with a rather large fs ollie the day the ramp was up. Directly after this photo we proceeded to guzzle brews, and then skate street with relative success.
Designed and built the park, so the naturally dunbat is also occasionally referred to as Poyner
Park. So bag your cans and roll your phillies, or at least a large water considering the lack of park shade, cause with DYAR Pizza Falafel and Shawarma right around the corner (c'mon, one push from McShits), you can skate all day till lights out at 11. Where? You dun know? DUNBAT fool
Basically, here's the gist of how things stand at the moment. We've been filming the video for a year and a bit now, and ideally want to try and get it finished by the end of 2010.
For the minute though, we've just got to keep filming and keep you entertained, so here's another little trailer!
The music was kindly supplied by the extremely talented Jon Kennedy. You can expect to hear some more of his magical music in 'Prism'.... once we get it finished.
To end this post, I'd like to reveal a new photograph.
Matt the Whale finally overcame one of the Bottelino's handrails today. We had to use a sheet of wood and a sheet of metal in order to make it skateable due to the annoying presence of 'blind man bumps'. The footage will appear in his 'Prism' section somewhere.
Last weekend (6th & 7th of March), myself, Leon Clark and Matt the Whale took a trip to Dorchester to skate the park there and to hit up some neighbouring street spots.
Our weekend also took us to Weymouth, where we had a very fun time skating some quirky seafront obstacles and a very shit skatepark.
Besides the occasional shitty skatepark and icy cold winds, we had a great time. And here is an edit for you all to show you how much fun we had down south!
As promised, we have cooked up an edit for you! This edit features even more footage that isn't going to be in the film, but it's too good just to throw it out without you guys seeing it first.
Due to the weather getting slightly better, we've been able to step outside of the UK Ramp Hire warehouse and bag a few clips for the film at some of our favourite spots.
Look out for some more photos and edits coming your way shorty.
Welcome to the refreshed Redlight website. We've ditched the old site as it doesn't really look like 'us'. The simplified, functional blog layout is much easier to navigate and work with, thus we've changed things.
To celebrate our new look, here's by far one of best skateboard videos to emerge from the depths of the South West.
Please take the time to enjoy Louis Gane, George Nevin and Rich Smith's 'Bristol's Finest'.
In an attempt to make this very, very ugly skatepark interesting, Leon and myself took a trip to Warmley skatepark on a warm Spring evening to film a short edit.
The idea was to use and enhance the natural raw sounds of the park to give a sense of what it's like to skate this park in the evening, and use the dusky sunlight available to create a warm, low lit image.
You have probably seen the sport on TV or have played it in a video game but you have never really tried it yourself. Now, you want to try it. What should you do? After solving the problem of getting your own skateboard, you need to learn how to ride.
Riding the skateboard for the first time can be hard but with proper techniques, you will learn better.
First, know the gears. Never, attempt to ride a skateboard without padding up and wearing a helmet. They are very important. You may feel that you look like an idiot but who cares?
Remember, if you don't know what you are doing, it is better to suit up for the occasion than to be sorry after a major cut or a broken bone. Riding the skateboard for the first time may involve falling and hurting yourself. Do not ignore the importance of these gears.
Now that you are fully prepared, it is time to step on your skateboard. Do not do anything stupid. Start standing on your board on the grass or on the carpet. Decide which stance you will use. You have 2 choices: the regular and the goofy. Once you are comfortable standing on your skate, push forward.
Take your skateboard to a skate park or in your garage or anywhere you can skate safely. Place your front foot right behind the front truck and your back foot, on the ground. With your back foot, push forward. If you are doing it correctly, you should be rolling by now. Push 2 or 3 times and put your back foot above the rear tracks. Get the feel of moving. Relax your body. Balance. If you slow down push off some more.
Now, learn how to stop. There are 4 ways to stop your skateboard: bailing out, power sliding, heel dragging, and foot breaking. Since it is your first time, use your foot to stop. This is the simplest among all the techniques. Do this by pressing your back foot against the ground to slow down.
Then you need to learn how to turn. Just bend the board slightly to your left and you go left; bend the board slightly to the right and you turn right - that easy.
If you find these to be overwhelming, then take it nice and slow. Do not force yourself to learn too quickly because it is not an overnight process. Practice and master the basics first and you are on your way to your first skateboarding trick.
Choosing the Best Skateboarding Shoes for a Better Skateboarding Experience
In extreme sports, skateboarding is perhaps the most popular in the United States. If you love skateboarding, and you want to skate like the pros, then you need to understand that the board itself and your skills are not the only things that are important in this sport.
A lot of people think that skateboarding is done by just using regular sports shoes. However, you need to remember the fact that skateboarding will also require you to have a good pair of shoes that are specifically designed for skateboarding. They will be much more comfortable, and they will also be able to minimize injuries.
Although it is true that you can still skate using just about any shoes or even flip flops, you have to remember that when you are skateboarding, you will increase the risk of injuring your ankle.
Skateboarding shoes are designed to provide adequate protection to your ankles. These will be able to protect your ankle and prevent any serious foot injuries whenever you experience falls which is very common.
When choosing a pair of skateboarding shoes, here are some of the things that you need to remember in order to choose the right ones for a better and safer skateboarding experience.
The first important factor is that the skateboarding shoes you choose should be able to withstand a lot of force and should also be flexible enough so that you can execute tricks.
The grip is also an important factor. The skateboard shoes you purchase should be able to grip the skateboard to avoid slipping off from the board and falling.
Just like choosing any types of shoes, you have to remember that the skateboarding shoes you choose should be comfortable on your feet. The shoes you choose should feel good when you walk and when you skate, and they should be able to give you stability.
Shoes that are not comfortable will only result in giving you blisters and sores which will force you to give up skateboarding for a certain amount of time because of the pain.
The shoe laces are also important. You have to remember that skateboarding will require you to move your feet a lot and it will also let the shoes take a lot of force. Make sure that you get shoe laces that don't easily rip apart. Get a pair of special skateboarding laces, which are more durable than ordinary laces that will be able to withstand the roughness of the sandpaper like surface on your skateboard.
These are just some of the things that you need to remember about skateboarding. Always remember that the right shoes for skateboarding will make all the difference.
When deciding which skateboard to buy, there are 4 basic things to consider: cost, trucks, bearings and wheels, and decks.
1. Cost. A skateboard can be very expensive so the basic principle to remember is to settle for something functional -basic. Do not aim for the best board that will set you back a hefty 3-digit figure that does not even include bearings, trucks, and a set of wheels. Set your budget at around $50 to$80 for a brand new beginner skateboard.
Any higher and you'll be paying for something you don't need; any lower and you'll be paying for junk. The point is, you should buy an average beginner skateboard so when you realize that the sport is not for you or you happen to destroy your skateboard in the process, you have not spent your fortune for nothing.
2. Trucks. There are different types of trucks suited for specific tricks and functions. Some are made heavy while some just look tough. While price is your main concern, always go for quality. Go to a proper skateboard dealer and seek advice or bring a friend who really knows what trucks are right for your skill level.
3. Bearings and wheels. Bearings keep the wheels spinning when you stop pushing. Now, there are different ratings (measured in ABEC value) that determine the speed of the bearings. The slowest are the 'AA' bearings. While this will help you maintain a very slow speed downhill, it won't give you that needed speed on flat surfaces.
'AA' is then followed by ABEC 3, ABEC 5, ABEC 7, and ABEC 9. Beginners can go for ABEC 3 or ABEC 5 at the most. These bearings may not give you the best movement but going for the fastest bearings is not a good idea either.
4. Deck. If you want to go for the best deck, choose the one without any graphics. Why? Brandings and designs are what make skateboard decks expensive. Aside from that, deck designs can easily scratch off with a decent amount of skating. Instead of focusing on the cool graphics, get a 7-ply deck and pay attention to the shape of the deck. Get one with a good amount of curve to the kicktails.
Therefore, your ideal beginner skateboard should consist of a 7-ply deck, durable tracks, and ABEC 3 or 5 bearings at a reasonable price.
If you love skateboarding, then you will definitely want to learn as many tricks as you can. If you can do the Ollie, then you will want to know about the different tricks that are associated with the Ollie. Although they are more difficult to achieve, the results will definitely be fantastic and will awe a lot of people.
One trick that you will want to learn is called the heelflip. This kind of trick is similar to the kickflip but is a little harder to execute.
Heelflip is where the skateboarder does an Ollie to get him or her into the air and flicks the skateboard with his or her heel in order to let it spin in the air along the nose to tail axis. In this trick, the heel edge will come up first while staying parallel to the ground.
The skateboard will spin once and then the skateboarder will land on the skateboard when the wheel is facing the ground again. After landing, the skateboarder will ride away ready to do another trick or two.
It is important that you know how to do the Ollie in order to achieve the heelflip trick. You have to remember that this trick is another variation of the Ollie and is more technical and more difficult to execute.
To start, ride the skateboard with your feet in the Ollie position. However, you will want to have your front foot placed a little forward on the board and let your toes hang a little off the board. This will make the trick a lot easier to execute.
When you are at a considerable speed, do the Ollie but right after you pop the board into the air, you will need to kick the heel of your front foot forward.
After your front foot leaves the skateboard, you will need to point the toes of your front foot up in the air and kick your front foot forward. You will want to flick the edge of the skateboard with your heel, hence the name heelflip.
When the board is spinning, get your feet out of the way. After the board makes a complete spin, you need to catch it again. Keep in mind that the board will spin rapidly so look at the board when it is spinning in order to know when to catch it with your foot again and get ready for the landing.
Once you've caught the board, prepare for landing by bending your knees. This will help you absorb the impact when you land and help you with your balance.
After that, you can just simply ride away or do another trick.
Although it looks easy, dropping in on a ramp in a skateboard park is not a very easy thing to do. If you haven't done drop ins before, try attempting them and you will see how difficult they are to do and there is a high chance that you will just end up with your body sprawling down below with your skateboard flying off across the ramp.
So, if you don't want to make a fool out of yourself or worse, spend time in the hospital, you will want to know about the basics for doing drop ins properly.
First of all, you need to remember that safety is everything. Always wear your safety equipment whenever you are skateboarding. Even pros wear safety equipment.
The drop in doesn't necessarily take a lot of skill. However, beginner skateboarders will tend to get nervous whenever they attempt to drop in on the ramp. This means that their body will tense up which will force them to shift their weight and eventually fall.
Drop ins are basically what skateboarders do to enter bowls or the vert ramp. This will allow the skateboarder to instantly gain a lot of speed and get big air to perform their tricks.
If you are just a beginner, you first need to get comfortable riding your skateboard by riding on the ground around the park.
Dropping in won't necessarily mean that you need to know a few skateboard tricks, but it just means that you should know how to ride your skateboard comfortably and with proper balance.
You have to remember that once you've dropped in, there is no turning back. You will gain a lot of speed at a very fast rate. So, you will need to know how to be comfortable riding your skateboard.
To drop in, the first thing that you need to do is check out the ramp. If it's too big, start off with mini ramps. This will not necessarily give you a lot of speed, but it will be good for practicing.
After checking out the ramp, set the tail of the board on the coping which is the edge of the ramp. Hold the board with your back foot by stepping on the tail. If you are ready to go, place your front foot just behind the nose or just above the front trucks of the skateboard. Then shift your weight forward and stomp your front foot and let gravity do the rest.
As mentioned before, there is no need for you to know different tricks when dropping off a ramp. Just get good balance and you will also need a bit of guts and will.
Everyone who knows how to skateboard or is just starting out to skateboard wants to learn the tricks that the pros do. It is very impressive to look at and it can also entertain a lot of people.
If you want to do what Tony Hawk or Bam Margera can do, then you will want to first learn about the basics and practice a lot. Skateboarding tricks are not learned overnight and it will take you quite a few falls and some bruises before you perfect the trick you want to learn on your skateboard.
So, before you start attempting to do any tricks, you might want to start off by wearing the necessary safety gears in order to minimize injuries and avoid the hospital with a skateboard related injury.
One trick that most skateboarders first learn is the Indy Grab. This skateboard trick is very simple but very stylish. This trick is basically one of the most used skateboarding tricks today and it is very effective for entertaining crowds.
In this trick, you will see skateboarders doing it by catching air, bending down and grabbing the board with their hand. It looks very cool and it is also a trick that you should definitely learn how to do.
If you already know how to do the Ollie, then it will be easy for you to do this trick. However, if not, you will need to learn how to do the Ollie first as this trick is one of the many variations of the Ollie.
Basically, this trick will require you to do the Ollie first and while you are in the air, incorporate the Indy Grab.
To execute this trick, ride the board with your front foot in the middle of the board and your back foot on the tail. Then, slam down on the board with your back foot and jump at the same time. What this will do is it will keep your body centered on the board and make it stay even. This is the Ollie. To incorporate the Indy Grab, you need to bend or reach down while you are in the air and hold onto the board between your feet.
Moments before landing, you need to let go of the board and always make sure that your knees are bent in order to absorb the shock of the landing. This trick can be done on ramps, flat ground, or when you leave a flat edge.
This skateboard trick is much more effective if you have big air. Try slamming on the board as hard as you can to get more air.
These are the tips that you need to remember whenever you plan on performing the Indy Grab on your skateboard. As you can see, it is very easy to do and it will also be very effective in impressing the crowd as well as other skateboarders.
Sure you know how to ride a skateboard at high speed comfortably. But, have you ever considered the fact that you also need to know how to stop?
Try to imagine cruising down the street with your skateboard at high speed and suddenly a car pulls out from a garage. Surely you wouldn't want to humiliate yourself by jumping off your skateboard or sprawling on the side of a car like that Garfield doll sticking on the car windshield with your skateboard still going at high speed down the street.
So, learning how to stop is also important but of course you want to do it like a pro in order to avoid looking stupid.
So, here are the basics of using the skateboard footbrake.
The first thing that you need to do is take your front foot and turn your toes so that they face the nose of the board. You also need to turn your chest and let it face forward as well. After that, transfer all your weight on the front of your foot as you swing your back leg out and lower it to the ground. Try to keep your weight centered on the front foot and always remember to keep your back leg straight as you lower it to the ground. Never lean back or forward when performing the skateboard footbrake.
As you lower your back leg to the ground keeping it straight, try to apply light pressure to the ground with the sole of your shoe and continue to gradually increase the pressure if you need to slow down faster. Try to remember that you should do it nice and easy.
When the skateboard comes to a complete stop, just place your back foot on the ground.
Although this action seems easy to do, it takes some time and a lot of practice to get it right. Always remember that like all other skills on skateboarding, you need to practice, practice, and practice some more.
Now that you know how to footbrake on your skateboard, you will now be able to avoid that car that suddenly pulled out from the garage and avoid injuring yourself and paying for the damages you do to the car when you crashed into it.
Remember these tips and you can be sure that you will be able to go skateboarding a lot safer. Always remember that skateboarding is not just about going fast and doing tricks, it is also about knowing how to stop.

As you know, the éS team has been busy, like, forever filming for the upcoming éS video, and heads everywhere have been demanding a sneak peak at this fabled creation. Well, finally, here it is: the official teaser featuring the boys goofing around, having fun and bringing down the massive rubber mallet when necessary. Let us all now stand in a circle, join hands and scream, "YéS!"
Starring Eric Koston, Rick McCrank, Rodrigo TX, PJ Ladd, Justin Eldridge, Cale Nuske, Javier Sarmiento + more?? YES!
Richie Jackson is an Insane Skateboarder Hippie! Once in a while, a skater comes out of nowhere with a style so sick, so wrong, so crazy, so strange, yet so smooth that you are truly amazed again watching a skateboard video. After seeing thousands of tricks over the years, you probobly will be very shocked at how this Australian Hippie 70s steezer pulls off these tricks with his long hair and tight pants. He rides for some company called Death Skateboards and I'm anxious to see some of his new stuff whenever it comes out.
It is a fact that skateboard enthusiasts want to be like the pros. They want to execute different kinds of tricks and they want to do what their favorite skateboarders do in competitions.
If you want to be like Bam Margera or Tony Hawk, then you have a lot of practicing to do. Sure skateboarding can make heads turn, but if you really want to amaze people, you should learn how to properly execute the different tricks in order to avoid getting a mouth full of dirt and be the laughing stock of the neighborhood.
If you are just starting out skateboarding, you will want to start with the basics first. You have to remember that the ramps or the vert is one of the most difficult and also the most anticipated skateboarding activity.
This action will provide you with big air as well as enable you to perform different kinds of tricks.
If you are just starting out skating on ramps, you might want to start on a mini ramp and not on the real vert ramp. This will help you master the tricks you want to perform on the ramps and it is also the place to skate that will minimize injuries on huge falls.
To start out, you will first want to do the Rock to Fakie trick. This skateboard trick is what most skateboarders learn first on the ramp. It is easy and it is a very good way to start impressing people. This is also a great trick which will be a stepping stone to perform more elaborate tricks further on.
This particular trick is where the skateboarder will go to one side of the ramp and parks for a second on the edge of the ramp which is called the coping. Then, the skateboarder will rock back down the ramp.
Nate finishes up the session with a throw back to the old school days with this hyper speed boneless 5-0 stall, can't no flash freeze this guys fast feet.
