Zach Saraceno’s Raw Clips from the ‚GODSPEED‘ Era Confirm He’s a GOAT in the Making

Some dudes just always seem to be on. They’re few and far between, sure, but they do exist. And Zach Saraceno is undoubtedly one of them. There’s no denying Zach is bound to be one of the greats, but in case you needed a reminder, peep these raw clips master lensman Davonte Jolly just shared from the ‚GODSPEED‘ era. Bangers, bangers and more bangers. Take a look:

Is it all really this easy? No. Absolutely not. But Zach’s effortless style could make anyone think otherwise. He has a deep, deep bag of tricks in his arsenal and isn’t afraid to use them. Everything is precise, too. What else can I say? The dude is just fun to watch skate. Simple as that.

I guess when you roll with a squad like his, though, you’re bound to feed off each other. Ishod, Midler, Na-Kel, Neal…the list goes on. Their crew is oozing with talent and Zach is definitely contributing to the heaviness. Every time they’re out, clips are getting stacked. Just watch any of their video parts and it’s clear they aren’t just putting in the work, they’re having fun with it, too.

If you’ve never seen GODSPEED, you’re sorely missing out. Tap the post above and see what all the hype was about. These dudes were not messing around, that’s for sure, and each part remains super impressive to this day.

A Preview of the Limited Converse AS-1 x Nike Dunk Low Double Box Packaging

Have you ever seen a shoe box like this? I certainly haven’t. 

The limited-edition Converse CONS AS-1 + Nike SB Dunk Low double box drops in select North American skate shops tomorrow, August 22nd. And while this heavy collab between these two footwear giants is impressive on its own, the shoe box itself is just as insane! Take a look:

We all know the thrill of walking into a skate shop (or really, any retailer) and picking up something rad. There’s nothing like tangibly holding something like a brand new pair of shoes, for example—feeling them, seeing them, even smelling them (don’t be weird). For me, that experience will always beat ordering online. But can you imagine the feeling of walking out with a double shoe box like this? Unreal.

For the folks who only have their eyes on one pair or the other, don’t trip—both styles will be available individually worldwide August 29th. But you obviously won’t get this dope double box! At any rate, hit your local shop, enter their raffle and cross your fingers. 

Alexis Sablone did an incredible job designing these and the story behind their development is super cool. You can tap the post above to learn more. Nothing else to say besides tomorrow is the big day! Who’s copping these?

Did We Just Get the Daewon Song Darkslide Clip We Never Knew We Needed?

For most of us, the darkslide is more of a video game move than an actual option in our arsenal of tricks. It’s iconic nonetheless; one of those tricks that—if you can do them—sort of sets you apart from the rest. But seeing Daewon Song do them with such ease (on transition nonetheless!) is unbelievably satisfying. Check the clip:

„We all fear that first scratch on a new car!“ he writes as the caption. Adding, „Skateboarders feel the same way about griptape right? We all start to care less and kids always know best.“ And then he proceeds to terrorize a variety of different terrain on the wrong side of his board—ha!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been obsessed with darkslides. Have I ever landed one? Absolutely not. Have I tried my fair share of them? Sure. But there’s just really nothing simple or logical about this trick. And even if you happen to lock into one, whether on purpose or accidentally, getting out of them is a challenge in itself! They sure do look rad, though.

Leave it to Daewon to make them look so easy. Are we surprised? Of course not. Doing them on transition is next level, too. In general, the trick makes no sense, but when you take it to a quarter pipe (of any size) and actually slide them…yeah, unreal. 

He’s sort of teasing us with all those random cuts on ledges, curbs, stairs, that random rock and everything else, but the one he actually shares on that QP is so good. And call me crazy, but the way the top of his board looks at the end of the video is also super satisfying for some reason. 

It’s just a trick that I don’t often see, but when I do, I’m always stoked. Makes me almost want to skate a super flat board! But…nah. I’m good. Maybe one day I’ll land one? Maybe you will, too? Until then, I’ll just let Daewon do his thing. Fine with me!
