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.

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:

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.
