Watch: Tyler Surrey’s New ‚Indy‘ Part Is an Absolute Breath of Fresh Air

Tyler Surrey is an absolute legend. Whenever this technical wizard hits us with a new video part, it’s a cause for celebration, and his latest banger for Independent Trucks is no exception. From California to Argentina, no terrain is safe from Surrey. Sit back, settle in and get stoked:

„This part was filmed in two places that are very special to me: Argentina and California,“ Tyler wrote on Instagram. „I was on a separate filming trip in Argentina for a month and on the last day we found the pin (featured in the video) on the ground. I took it as a sign and decided to stay an extra month there, which resulted in the first half of this part filmed with @kokostreetsports, and making this video possible.“

Safe to say, we’re all glad he found that pin. I’ve been eagerly awaiting a new Surrey video part and this couldn’t have come at a better time. This dude’s talent is unmatched—board control, style, an unreal bag of tricks…he can literally do it all.

You know how skateboarders will say things like, „The world is our canvas.“ Well, just think of how vast Surrey’s canvas is. This dude is so creative and has so much control, he can literally skate anything and make it work. Some of the „spots“ he skates in this part are spots only he could skate. That says a lot.

I like how they split this into two different sections, too. Doesn’t matter where this dude is in the world, he’ll skate any spot you put in front of him and leave with more than a few clips for good measure. Like I said…GOAT.

Wait until you see that quick manual spot to three stair—tell me this dude doesn’t have magic feet! I don’t know why those clips caught my attention so much, but geez, how can he be that effortless rifling those off? Shoutout to Indy and Surrey for blessing us with this part. Needed this!

Nike SB Celebrates 20 Years of Grant Taylor with Limited Edition SB Blazer Low GT

One skateboarder who needs no introduction, Grant Taylor has been tackling all types of heavy terrain for The Swoosh the past 20 years and if you saw him skating today, you’d think the dude was just getting started. Skateboarding is literally part of his DNA.

Nike SB just dropped a limited SB Blazer Low GT to celebrate two decades of radness and it’s available now at select skate shops across the globe. Get a closer look below:

„Grant Taylor’s run with Nike SB has been a heavy 20. Two decades deep, GT’s signature shoe gets a special anniversary treatment, inspired by the aesthetics and craft of fine China plates,“ Nike mentions on their site. „The SB Blazer Low Pro GT breaks tradition by mixing sophisticated materials and patterns with details that are all Grant and all grit.“

If you haven’t already, peep the video above and take a little trip down memory lane through the last 20 some odd years. Grant has been on fire the last two decades, truly never slowing down and constantly giving it his all.

You might think it’s no biggie considering how talented he is—of course he’s always killing it—but skill like that comes with a ton of hard work. The kind that separates the greats from the rest. And Grant is an absolute GOAT.

Back to the shoes—they’re soft yet durable on the outside, „designed with a premium leather construction and subtle embossed details,“ Nike mentions. Yeah, the attention to detail here is something to admire. And while I know it’s pretty common to say something like, cheers to 20 more years or something along those lines, well, this time I really mean it!

Grant Taylor is one of those skateboarders who are here for the long haul. Natural talent. Envious style. Unreal execution. The dude just looks good on a skateboard. He’s one of the rare ones that you can’t help but just sit back and watch if he’s on the session.

Thanks for two decades of absolute inspiration, Grant. Keep your foot on the gas.

Nike SB’s „20 Years of Grant Taylor“ Video

Covering every era of GT, Nike SB collects two decades of clips from its time with ATL’s finest. This is guaranteed to spark the session.

Paul Rodriguez Releases Part 2 of ‚Me, Myself & I‘ B-Sides on YouTube

Paul Rodriguez recently uploaded Part 1 of his ‚Me, Myself & I‘ B-Sides—leftovers and outtakes from his heavy 2010 video part for Plan B. At the time, this part was Paul’s first video part since Nike SB’s Nothing but the Truth [2007] and really showcased a serious period of Paul’s progression during this era.

He just dropped Part 2, and I’ll just say, if you enjoyed the first installment you’re going to be hyped on this. Take a look:

I’ll always be a fan of this era of P-Rod. Depending on your age, you’ve probably seen Paul grow up through the decades thanks in part to video parts like this. He’s always been unbelievably talented, but the fact that he’s literally still progressing to this day is pretty unreal. A living, breathing GOAT.

Also, for any die-hard golden era VX1000 lovers out there, these clips take us all back to a time when things were…simpler. There’s nothing simple about the tricks Paul is firing off, but the colors, the clothes, the shoes, the sounds—this was right before everything sort of started to transition yet again.

That’s why I love raw clips and throwback footage like this. It’s like stepping into a time capsule. The nostalgia hits hard, bringing back a flood of memories—not just of this specific part, respectfully, but of that whole era in skateboarding and life itself. These 13 minutes really capture the vibe of this time, you know? And watching it brings everything rushing back in the coolest way.

I’m not sure how many more of these P-Rod is going to be releasing, but I hope he keeps them coming. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Paul! I remember a lot of this like it was yesterday.

Black Label’s New Barcode “Shredded” Graphic Comes In 15 Different Shapes and Sizes

Board brands experimenting with fresh takes on classic graphics is nothing new. Sometimes it works, other times it’s debatable. But when an iconic, respected brand like Black Label does it, well, there’s never a debate. Especially when they offer it in 15 different shapes and sizes. Take a look:

Black Label’s ‚Barcode‘ graphic is synonymous with the brand and if you’re like me, you’ve been seeing it for as long as you can remember. Their „never be bought, never be sold“ ethos lives on to this day. With John Lucero steering the ship and still hand-screening graphics, often personally shipping orders and fully embodying that DIY lifestyle, these are just a few of the reasons I’ve always been such a fan of the brand.

Swipe through the post above and you can actually see the barcodes that Lucero cut up (by hand) to make this graphic what it is. I mean, I know other brands will sometimes do things similarly, but John has always been quite literally hands-on when it comes to Label graphics and concepts. It’s just rad.

And let’s not forget—Label is offering 15 different shapes and sizes with this board, and most of their planks are often offered the same way. He’s always playing with shapes, always nerding out on sizes, but always keeps quality at the top of his priority list. Have you ever ridden a Black Label board? Exactly.

I’m 34 years old and I’ve been skating since I was 10. To some of you reading this, that might make me super young. To others, I’m the old dude rolling around your local park or spots keeping the dream alive. But my point is, Black Label has been around since I got into skateboarding and has always been one of my favorite brands.

Seeing Lucero keeping the dream alive in his own way—in 2024, no less—still skating curbs, being goofy and putting his heart and soul into this brand is so admirable. In fact, that’s not saying enough. At any rate, it keeps me stoked and I hope other skaters out there feel the same.

Look for these new graphics, along with plenty of other Black Label boards at your local shop and scoop one up. By skateboarders, for skateboarders. Enough said.
