Wes Kremer and Leo Romero in the new season of Japan’s KASSO Skateboarding Show
If you’re not familiar with Japan’s outrageous KASSO skateboarding game show/physical challenge, take a look at their newest trailer for their upcoming season. All new massive, original courses, and a couple of pro skaters you definitely wouldn’t expect to see on a TV show like this: Wes Kremer and Leo Romero!
Catch all the action October 15 and 22, and while it might be hard to find streaming if you’re outside of Japan (episodes and future streaming they claim will be on their YouTube), keep a close eye on KASSO’s Youtube account for highlights and recaps. If this trailer is anything like the full episodes, this stuff should be entertaining!
Massive downhill runs, Ollie to Ollie gap/landing pads to get bodied on, and the final boss: Uzushio—which may translate into, „How the hell am I supposed to ride this?“

„You gotta be skilled at both street and park to get through this course,“ they mention in the trailer. Yeah, and maybe rock climbing and parkour too.
The „Tokyo Upside Down“ course at night looks to be the most diabolical. We can see Madars Apse and Leo Romero handling some of the obstacles here.
Beat The Gate looks insane. There’s a „huge cash prize“ promised to the winner. Then, just when you think you’ve seen it all, they drop the Rail Coaster on you. Jeez. Check out the looks on Leo and Wes‘ faces. Did someone make it? Or did they all drop to their watery demises? Tune in to find out on October 15 and 22.

Comedy Legend Harland Williams Joins Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis on ‚Hawk vs. Wolf‘
Need some laughter this morning? You’re in the right place! Comedy legend Harland Williams sits down with Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis on the latest Hawk Vs. Wolf podcast and it’s absolutely hilarious. Harland’s unbelievably impressive dry sense of humor is on full display here and he leaves Tony in tears all throughout. Don’t miss this one! Press play:
Between his outrageous stories about skating when he was younger, classic stories that come with a lifestyle like his, hearing about his „board of the future“ and honestly, so much more, I couldn’t hold back my laughter (especially when these dudes are cracking up the entire time). I expected some funny moments, but this was more than I could’ve asked for.
His classic cameo in Dumb and Dumber as the cop who drinks the pee (remember that?) will always be a hilarious moment from my childhood, and his role in Half Baked is simply timeless, if you ask me. Those alone were enough to make me click into this episode, but Harland Williams has had countless incredible roles over the years, and to top it all off, his stand-up is phenomenal. The guy is just funny. Simple as that.
As always, I’m not going to sit here and spoil too much of the episode, though. Find some time to listen to these stories—trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Experience Two Decades of Portraits with Blair Alley’s New Photobook ’20 Years 100 Portraits‘
TransWorld SKATEboarding’s Blair Alley has been a major figure at TWS for over 20 years, capturing some of the most legendary characters in skateboarding along the way. His newly released photobook, „20 YEARS 100 PORTRAITS,“ features an impressive collection of unique portraits showcasing your favorite pros from the past two decades, and let me be the first to say—there are some serious gems in the mix. Check the post below for a little more info on the project and get your hands on a copy here.

Surprisingly, this is Blair’s first photobook but it was certainly well worth the wait. Flipping through the pages is the perfect blend of nostalgia and intrigue; some of the older photos take you on a serious trip down memory lane! While I can only imagine how hard it would be to select 100 photos from his deep collection, the variety featured in the book is perfect—so many iconic faces are peppered in.

Blair mentioned that, „Pro skaters are notoriously bad at getting their portraits taken,“ which really makes this book that much more special. A portrait can say so much. If you’ve been into skating within the last 20 years or so, chances are you’ll recognize every face in this book. That’s half the fun.
Congrats to Blair on this epic achievement! This was a major project and a ton of heart and soul went into it. Doing anything successful for 20 years is no small feat, especially while making such a significant impact on the skateboarding world.
Buy the book here! And let the nostalgia pour in.
