Guy Mariano’s iPhone clips are better than most pros‘ parts

It’s no hyperbole to say that clips Guy Mariano films and puts on his IG stories are better than what most pro skaters put in their video parts. In his late 40s, Guy is still pushing the limits of modern day street skating, and finding insane spots to do it on! He’s a pure skate rat. Shout out to Dickies for putting this compilation together of clips that would have otherwise disappeared into the Meta abyss. 

„iPhone clips of Guy Mariano from 2022-2024“

The first clip says it all: Guy can go bigger on natural transition spots than just about anyone else, and his iPhone clips are filmed by guys like Stefan Janoski! Why he doesn’t have a Nike SB pro model is anyone’s guess. Frontside flipping way above coping on a mini board? Unthinkable for most.

So cool to see Guy skate some of the same Downtown LA spots that made him famous in Video Days three decades later. Speaking of decades later, Lakai’s Fully Flared came out in 2007 and Guy still has combos today he didn’t even do in that video. Skateparks, ditches, fakie flipping off a crack in the sidewalk—it’s almost as if he’s so talented he needs to find the most jacked spots to challenge himself. 

Peep Guys‘ IG remix from 2021, he’s been doing this a long time!

Vans and Carpet Co. Tease Exciting ‚Old Skool‘ Collaboration for Next Year

Vans and Carpet Co. are joining forces on a special ‚Old Skool‘ collaboration set to drop early next year and recently teased them for the first time on Instagram. The hype is already real. Just when you thought the shoe news was put to bed for the rest of the year… here we are! Take a look:

View the original article to see embedded media.

The caption simply says, „1977 pairs made for a reason!“ which is certainly fitting, but 1977 pairs of shoes isn’t that much, you know? All that tells me is these things are clearly going to be super limited and might be a little hard to cop. Get your affairs in order—these won’t last! 

While the news of the shoes themselves is exciting enough, you gotta watch the video they made to hype the collaboration up. Peep it below. Can you name all the sneaky cameos? Absolutely hilarious. Yes, the nailed it.

View the original article to see embedded media.

I’m always down for a funny skit, so this was a real unexpected treat, if you ask me.

Well, in one of the captions, Vans mentions that the shoes are „coming soon“ but I have seen photos of people wearing them in their stories. We’ll just have to wait and see. But like I said, if you’re hoping to secure a pair yourself, stay on it! 

Otherwise, what else can we say? 

Be safe out there tonight and have a Happy New Year!

DC Skateboarding Ends the Year with Heavy-Hitting New Video ‚No Big Deal‘

With Brian Panebianco handling the edit, and a cast of heavy hitters like Josh Kalis, John Shanahan, Lucien Clarke, Kevin Bilyeu, Will Marshall, Jahmir Brown, Thaynan Costa, Masaki Hongo, Shintaro Hongo, Luca Gozzo, Francisco Rios, and Anthony Rosado, DC’s latest video offering ‚No Big Deal‘ couldn’t have come at a better time. What a way to close out the year! Take a look:

John Shanahan kicks things off with a bang and really sets the tone for the rest of the video. This dude lives and breathes DC and has been keeping it real since day one. I also love how low-key talented he is at skating transition! Sneaky all-terrain killer.

The rest of the squad comes out swinging throughout, including the one and only Josh Kalis who is still looking as good as ever on the board. Just wouldn’t be a DC video without Kalis in the mix.

Well, the new year is pretty much here. Just when you thought all the brands were resting up and plotting for 2025, little nuggets like this keep popping up. Love to see it. Just can’t keep these dudes out the streets! Thank you, skateboarding. 

Spend some time in the comments on YouTube if you get a chance. The love for DC is still so real, and I’m here for it. Their team has certainly gone through some heavy changes, and there’s obviously a recognizable theme to be found here, but what can ya do? I’ve been saying 2025 might officially be the year big puffy shoes truly make their return… edits like this are making me think it just might be. 

Regardless, let’s see what this squad brings to the table next year. We’ll see you there.

Deza Skateboards New Full Length Video out of Mexico

This one’s packed with action from around the world. that first part from David Borges is going to knock your socks off and set the tone. It’s top notch skateboarding all the way through to the last part with Erick Silva. We got some words from Deza owner Shadi Charbel below the video.

We asked Deza’s owner Shadi Charbel to give us the lowdown on everything about this video and brand. Please read on, it’s well worth your time! 

„We started filming for this video right when the pandemic started back in 2020, which was the very same year my friend Flo Marfaing decided to work with me and started riding for Deza Skateboards. The main idea of the skits was brought by a friend, Jesus Guerrero (IG: @elchuyesmicarnal) and his idea was based on me not being able to skate anymore and he wanted me to appear on the video somehow. We wrote a bunch of different ideas that we could film to make it happen. We had a great time filming the skits. I have a friend that is a cop and let me borrow his uniform to be the security guard, another friend of mine works for Fedex and let us borrow his van.

Right at the end, we didn’t have any more ideas for Erick Silvas‘ intro and suddenly my pitbull Madonna got crazy sick and passed away. Erick loved my dog and since he had filmed some clips with Madonna just to make a quick video for his social media, we ended up using all that and filmed a little more to make it fit in the actual video pretending that he was dreaming of her.

About the main intro, I’ve built a workshop right in my house all based on printing decks, clothing, wheels and Jesus wanted to use it all to introduce all the skaters and we all loved the outcome of it. Great memories from all those days of filming!

About the name of the video, NADA ES PARA SIEMPRE (nothing is forever), the idea is mine and it’s based on me not being able to do what I love the most, which was skating due to my knee surgeries. I pretty much had to accept the fact that I was never going to be able to become the skater I dreamed of at the age of 27. I believe that we all have to be prepared to let go when the time comes, and I loved the idea of expressing that message to everyone.

The first animation in the video is inspired by me and was made by my friend Luis Ponce.

This is Deza’s only full length video they’ve made. All Flo Marfaing’s part was filmed by Jordan Stanley over in Europe, mostly Spain. Danny Ruiz is the newest rider and he got his part filmed by his homies in El Paso, Texas. Richard Moore’s part was filmed 100% in the USA. The rest of the video was filmed all over Mexico.

Pepe Baeza @pepegangsta filmed and edited the video and skits.

Video Recap of the Abloh Invitational in Miami

Virgil Abloh Securities and Cactus Jack came together for the third annual Virgil Abloh Invitational Dec 7 in Miami, Florida, and good thing for us, Davonte Jolly was there to document the absolute destruction from the likes of Dashawn Jordan, Zion Wright, Ishod Wair, Jamie Foy, Eric Koston and more. Where else are you going to have Kareem Campbell and Chad Muska hanging out too and giving out cash for tricks? Check this one out. 

„Virgil Abloh Invitational 2024. Filmed & Edited by Davonte Jolly. Additional Filming by Justin Stout, Carlos Mesa & Spanish Mike. Photos by Atiba Jefferson“

Everyone was ripping, but Dashawn Jordan is on another level in this video. Miami was definitely the place to be on this weekend. That kicker to boat looks to be about the toughest thing to skate, but the tricks that Ishod, Foy and Dashawn put down are nuts.

Asics Skateboarding Shares Sleek New Colorway of Gel-Vickka Pro in Black and Graphite Grey

Asics Skateboarding recently shared a sleek new colorway of its popular Gel-Vickka Pro model in Black/Graphite Grey on Instagram and at first glance, they look super easy on the eyes. Classic aesthetic meets modern performance! Take a look:

View the original article to see embedded media.

They might look simple and minimalistic, but if you’re like me, that’s exactly what I look for in a skate shoe. I don’t need any bells and whistles—just give me a strong shoe built for skateboarding. 

Asics might be new to the skate game, but they continue to do things the right way, as far as I’m concerned. I really appreciate how they’re setting the stage for a handful of skateboarders who genuinely deserve it, but might get overlooked at times, too. And honestly, all the shoes I’ve seen so far look great.

If you want some of the nitty-gritty details, let me save you a trip. Peep what the crew at Asics has to say about the shoe below:

„The GEL-VICKKA™ PRO shoes is inspired by the VICKKA™ training shoe from the 1970s. Its original design focus was to help increase stability during complex training movements. Today, its revamped with a skate-specific functionality. The upper’s forefoot features a one-piece construction that helps reduce tearing. Its sockliner design is based on the movement analysis that occurs while skating. This component applies different levels of pressure on the inside and outside to help promote a better center of gravity and stability. Lastly, our GEL™ technology is strategically placed in the heel to help decrease the impact of hard landings.“

See, nitty-gritty.

I was curious to see how many skate shops across the globe were carrying these online, and to my pleasant surprise, there were way more than I realized! That just means they’re all available in-store as well, so as always, if you’re feeling these just roll down to your local and see them for yourself. 

Admittedly, I’ve yet to try a pair. But that’ll change sooner than later. Until then, I’ll just keep watching the drops happen and see what this crew hits us with in the new year.

All Across the Globe, Felipe Oliveira Delivers in His New Ace Trucks Part

Every once in a while a guy like Felipe Oliveira drops a part that makes you think where has this dude been? He’s sort of wild, but in a rad way. 

And in fairness, I can’t keep up with everybody. Trust me, I try. We all try. But I will say this dude has an impressively deep bag of tricks and absolutely delivered in his new Ace Trucks part. Take a look:

„Operating on his own frequency amidst his native Brazil and throughout global skate destinations, Felipe leaves his emphatic impression on the spot,“ Ace mentions. „Unique style, trick selection and fervent execution make this edit fun to watch and inspiring with skating outside of the standard fare.“

This part was full of surprises! Honestly, about a minute into it I just decided to genuinely sit back and see what he was going to hit us with.

Felipe’s skating is unique in a way that some people will fully grasp it and think, „Yeah, this dude rips.“ And others might think, „What?“ But I’m always a fan of originality and a fresh approach, so I’m backing it. And let’s be real—things start heating up pretty quickly! 

The way he sees a spot is certainly not the way I’d see one, for example. I’m sure you’d agree, too. But that doesn’t mean that this dude isn’t out there getting his! He’s bringing something special to the table. Sometimes I just need at accept that the skating does the talking. 

Say more. Say less. Felipe rips. That’s all there is to it.

Enzo Kurmaske, Max Palmer, Cyrus Bennet, Andrew Wilson and Others Absolutely Deliver in New Edit

First of all—Merry Christmas, ya’ll! Second of all—when you see names like Enzo Kurmaske, Aidan Olmstead, Max Palmer, Nelly Morville, Noah Mahieu, Powell Terrel, Big T, Cyrus Bennet and Andrew Wilson mentioned in an edit, you stop what you’re doing and watch. 

Ryan Mettz recently shared this new edit on his YouTube of this entire squad lighting up the streets, and it’s the perfect little Christmas present for us all to enjoy today. Press play and then go enjoy those holiday sessions!

The clip might start with some brutal (yet, sort of comical) slams, but things heat up pretty quickly. Every single one of these skateboarders constantly brings something fresh to the table and there’s really never a dull moment when they’re out there in the streets doing their thing. 

Enzo Kurmaske is quickly becoming one of my favorites these days. And I’ve always been a huge fan of Andrew Wilson, Cyrus and of course, Max Palmer. Like I said—when I see their names, I stop and pay attention.

Whatever your plans are today, I hope you can get in a session with your friends and family one way or another. I thought this ripping edit might help assist with the stoke. You know the deal! Schools are closed, industrial business parks are ready to rip and all the high-bust spots that you typically don’t even think twice about are yours for the taking today.

Anyways… what are you still doing here!? I’m leaving this one short and sweet today. Grab your Christmas complete and hit the streets.

Tony Hawk Announces Indefinite Hiatus for ‚Hawk vs. Wolf‘ Podcast in 2025

There might be room for pretty much everyone to have a voice in this wildly vast digital universe we all live in these days, but that doesn’t mean they’re all making a difference. That said, many folks do and have, but sometimes it’s hard to maintain. 

Tony Hawk recently hopped on Instagram sharing the unfortunate news that his and Jason Ellis‘ podcast, ‚Hawk Vs. Wolf‘ will be on „indefinite hiatus as of 2025.“ Check the post and some words from Tony below explaining why. 

View the original article to see embedded media.

Here’s the message from Tony:

„Our Hawk vs. Wolf podcast will be on indefinite hiatus as of 2025. The last few years of making these shows have been a transformative journey of insightful conversations, shared vulnerability and consistent laughter, and I am forever grateful to Jason for his time and support. I believe that we created something uniquely entertaining in a space rife with mediocrity. But it seems that we are unable to effectively navigate Big Algorithms in order to find a larger audience and the necessary growth to attract consistent sponsors. Jason and I devoted ourselves to make the best show we can, but it is not financially tenable in its current form. We tried, and kept trying even when it cost us our own money to produce the show. Thank you to everyone that listened, watched, liked and subscribed (and described) to HvW; all of your enjoyment and feedback encouraged us to push through the many challenges as we tried to find our way. It has been a privilege to host so many inspiring guests, and an honor to collaborate with Jason all these years.Perhaps a new audience will discover these recordings (through free will?) and give us hope for a comeback. Until then, the future is unwritten. We have one more show to drop. It is arguably our best yet.“

From famous actors and comedians, to legendary musicians, rappers, artists, athletes, influencers, major players in the action sports world, and of course, skateboarders, there was such an impressive variety of guests on Hawk Vs. Wolf through the years. You really never knew who to expect, which was honestly a big part of what made it so rad. 

Although the list is way too long for me to mention, I will throw a few of our recent favorite episodes below in case you want to carve out some time or build yourself a little playlist.

Watch: Nicole Hause Drops a ‚Mixtape‘ Edit Featuring Her Favorite Clips Over the Past Few Years

Nicole Hause is an absolute ripper and just dropped a rad „Mixtape“ edit featuring some of her favorite clips from the past few years. It’s actually super sick to see her progressing right in front of our faces like this! She’s been charging lately and we know 2025 will be a big year for her. Settle in and press play.  

„From going on my first filming trip in 2018 to getting my own color-way with Nike SB, these are all the best skate moments in between,“ Nicole wrote. 

This is some serious full-circle stuff here! Think about how gnarly that is. Getting your own signature Nike SB Dunk is no small feat, especially a bold colorway like she dropped. Love to see it. 

You can’t deny Nicole deserves everything she’s been getting lately. Riding for Real is a huge deal all the same, and she’s out there holding her own with the best of ‚em! If anyone deserves a spot in the van right now, it’s Hause.

Love them or hate them, but her Dunks flew off skate shop shoe walls and I think it’s rad that she took the approach she did with those. Originality is important in skateboarding and Nicole continues to prove how true she knows this is. She’s been all over this year, too! From the streets to backyard ramps, skateparks and everywhere in between. Full speed ahead!

Oh yeah, and she nailed it with the song. Just saying. Not sure if it’s supposed to be ironic and goofy or serious, but honestly, I’m backing it either way. Yeah, Nicole!
