Andrew Broussard Bites the Big One.

This pretty much confirms what we all thought went down a few weeks ago, when a thread popped up on a forum with rumors of a scooter rider dying on the megaramp. Well we later figured out that it was Andrew, and of course that he didn't die (I forget what exactly happened, just some knocked out teeth and stitches I think). So crazy of him even trying that though, you Aussies better make it to the Nitro Circus shows, its gonna be a treat.

BLT Reunion Sesh

All of these guys are such beasts...3 tuck to whip? Really Brandon? So awesome to see Levon riding too, he doesn't seem to have missed a beat. And teehale, 3 bartwist? Nutty.

Michael Goumaz Eagle-Sport Sponsor Video

Working for Eagle-Sport, I get a LOT of Sponsor videos from a lot of riders all over the world. Recently I got a video from a rider from Switzerland by the name of Michael Goumaz...This video is sick. One of the things unique is that Michael is riding a Micro XT. If anyones ever ridden one you know how heavy they are. Great video, Great rider.

Sky High Update

Pictures pretty much explain everything. Make sure to preorder one of the District decks so you know you'll get one once they're out. And as you can see, Sky High shirts (which are SUPER soft), Eagle shirts, and DSA shirts are also available.

Vs., With Devon Garcia

"Vs." is a new feature I'm starting up in which I ask a rider "________ vs. _______", and they pick one and tell us why. The pleasure of having the first Vs. is with Visalia, CA's own Devon Garcia. Devon is an upcoming rider who recently got a spot on the Scooterzone Am team. Here is his Vs, enjoy.

Eagle wheels vs Proto wheels: Eagles deff because Ive had bad luck with Protos.
Or you can just get Twizzlers :)

Lucky deck vs. TSI deck: I hate high headtube angles so Tsi freestyler.

Ryan Williams vs. Coedie Donovan: Ryan becouse he is amazing and super chill in real life, plus the best accent ever?

Cali street vs. Cali park: Cali park yeah said it :)

Josh Kish vs. Tyler Bonner: Pick a harder question?
Id say Kish becouse he win's basically every comp and front flair?
Wtf?

And lastly, SR vs. TRW: I'd pick anything over SR because its drama resource so I'd have to with TRW because it's gonna be amazing.

And if you can(I promised mark I'd shoutout to him haha)
Thanks Gas for Scooterzone sponsorship and a free scooter :p
Scooterzone wins.
And a shoutout to Mark Abramsky, Nick Donotelli, Trevor Noller and not so much Tyler wheeland.

Brent Reid - Super 60.

It's definitely a nice change to see a different style than the general Cary/Stan/Tyler that we get from Woodinville videos.
Brent's style is fluid, but raw at the same time, clean tricks, rough around the edges.

Matt Mckeen- Dream Team Supreme

A local skate video that McKeen has a part in...amazing footage, best street rider for sure. Watch that last wallride he does...

Arizona Demos in March

If you are in the Arizona area you can be a part of something really awesome coming up this month. Anthony "Twan" Bustos took it upon himself to set up some really legit demos called the "Real Scoots Demos" at some really sick skateparks in Arizona. Some top companies in the sport have also decided to sponsor the event, those companies are below.

Phoenix Pro Scooters
Eagle-Sport
DSA
Scooter Zone
ProRide Scooters
QCS
MaddUSA
Inward Scooters
Global Skooters
Lucky Scooter Parts

Below are the flyers which include the date and skatepark the Demos will be held at.







So if you are in the area, and can make one of those demos...I would advise going. You can meet some top pro riders, and see some amazing riding. Also be sure to personally thank Anthony Twan Bustos for putting this together.

Get to Know: Jake Show

Jake Show is not a name most people know in this sport.  Despite being in the sport since 2003 (although he took a 2 year break), seeing footage of him has been a rarity.  Recently, however, he’s had some clips in a few videos.  He was featured in the friends section of the 951 DVD, and was interviewed for the upcoming SD4 Experience DVD.  Jake describes his own riding as “unique”.  He combines skate and BMX style with slowly rotated whips, and flowy park riding with big airs.  Some music Jake likes to listen to would be Atmosphere, Big L, Biggie Smalls, and lots of East Coast rap, especially when riding.

I got to know Jake a little better by asking him a few questions. 

Jordan Jasa:  What is your age, birthplace, and current place of residence?

I am 19 years young and I turn 20 april 15th. I was born in Riverside Ca, and I reside in Nuevo Ca.

Where and whom do you like to ride with?

I love to ride and flow around Big Chino & Desert Hot Springs. Both parks have good size tranny, hips and lots of creative lines to choose from. I ride with my buddy Jesse who is sick on a scooter but for now he is cruising a bike.. 2 riders I love to ride with are, Stan Smirnoff & Monky.

Who are some riders you look up to?

Stan Smirnoff for sure, Coedie Donovan, Jason Beggs, and of course those crazy Aussie's.

What makes your riding stand out from the rest?

One thing that would separate me from al ot of riders would have to be the fact that I care more about style and consistency rather than tricks. Another thing would have to be my tailwhips. I try to throw them super slow and land as late as i can. Lastly, you will never see me throwing any briflips or scooter flips. =pppp

What are some places you'd like to ride, but haven't?

Woodward would have to be first. I just found out where the Pala full pipes are so I’m gonna be hitting those up soon. Chandler bike park seems killer. I really really want to fly to Washington for 2 weeks and just ride as many parks as I can and possibly meet up with some guys from TSI & RAD.. in my opinion it couldn't get much better than that.

What is your current setup?

TSI 1 peice deck
         Proto Tank Bars
            Proto SCS
     Cane creek S3 headset
     O.G Inward zero offset
             ODI grips
  New Proto Gripper wheel in back
  Stan Smirnoff Sig. Wheel in front

If you weren't riding scooters what do you think you would be doing today?

Hmmm, probably playing the drums a lot more and working more than I do now. But I like this sport way to much to just give it up, I’ve been having so much fun lately, I can't see myself quitting anytime soon.

 

What is something most people don't know about you?

Who I am. haha, I have been riding before RVM1 came out and never have released a single edit!
But that is all about to change, I'm going to be filming with Josh toy soon for my first ever edit and it's going to be called "Who is Jake Show".

Any last words?

First of all I would like to thank Inside for the interview. =]  And to TSI... I'm not stopping til i get sponsored =]]. I love your team and how you guys are revolutionizing the sport. I never want to ride another deck again, so I thank you as well. Lastly, I thank anyone who was interested enough to read about me and look at my pictures =]]] even if you were just bored ill take that too.

 

Keep checking IS to catch his video, I’m sure its gonna be rad.

Eagle-Sport US Rider Tyler Wheeland Promo

If you've all known Tyler as long as I have, it is really awesome to see how far he's come in scootering....To be honest my first memories of Tyler was how I viewed him as just some new little kid So Cal rider....but it didn't take long for Tyler to start coming into his own and developing his own style, and it really shows in this video.........For god's sake..look at that last wall ride..

Tilt Park Pegs Review

Tilt Review from Jordan on Vimeo.

Intro by Sam Short. After reviewing the pegs I asked the company owner, Collin Snoek, and 18 year old college freshman, a few questions about Tilt.

Jordan Jasa: What city is Tilt based in?

Collin Snoek: Grand Rapids, MI

Why/What cause you to start Tilt?

I loved riding my scoot, but Razor parts kept breaking on me. I also saw the need of other riders for quality scooter parts. On top of those, I simply enjoy designing and producing parts.

How did you first pick people for the team?

I'm not sure if I even picked the first few people for the team. They just kept bugging me until I sent them parts.

Whats the process like from the first drawings of a peg, to the final product?

Perhaps the biggest part of the design process is finding what other riders want. For example, about two months ago, Mario Rocchio and several other riders were bugging me for steel, 1" diameter pegs. I am now releasing heat-treated 4140 steel pegs next week. In addition to riders testing parts, I do a good amount of testing such as breaking parts and material verification.

Do you have plans for any other products?

Next week I am releasing the steel pegs. Following the new pegs, I am releasing a series of one-piece machined forks. I have a few other products I'm planning to release before summer, but I don't want to make any promises.


Collin also wanted me to add that he's looking for more riders to sponsor...I know theres no shortage of riders trying to picked up by companies, so send in your videos kids. Also be sure to check out the Tilt FB Fan page.

Double Backflip- Gary Ably

Some random, looks like it was at the Woodward camp. Its 1 footed in this video but I guess he did land a few. So nuts, props to him.

Ty Alexander/Jake Clark Super 60

Two of the NW's younger rippers recently filmed a Super 60, and here it is. Ty's 540 bar owned the whole video. Hes def fun to watch.
