After a year of filming, including multiple trips back to Barcelona, Chris Joslin just dropped his new video part, ‚JOYCE‘ in loving memory of his grandma, Joyce. It has all the classic Joslin skateboarding you’d expect. In fact, Chris declared this, “The best part I’ve filmed in the last ten years.” Dive in:

Huge sets, heavy handrails, high speeds… it’s all here. The fact that all of this was filmed within a year is pretty wild in itself, especially considering his busy schedule! And let’s not forget his part in Plan B’s latest video alongside Lazer Crawford just dropped a few months ago. Insane!

When he’s not stacking in the streets, the dude skates all the major contests, has a family to care for, and I’m just barely scratching the surface here. It’s a lot. To say I’m impressed simply wouldn’t be saying enough.

You can’t help but feel a little emotional there at the end when we see the photo of Chris and his grandmother, too. I think it’s great that he dedicated this part to her and you can just tell he’s out there trying his best to make his family proud every time he steps on his board. When there’s a higher purpose driving you, it’s amazing how much you can achieve. Really inspiring. 

Chris has been on an absolute tear the last decade or so. The way he skates is almost a lost art these days, but if anyone is keeping the „jumping“ alive, it’s Joslin. Always entertaining. Always impressive. Congrats to Chris on yet another bangin‘ part!

Aussie ripper, Olympic Gold Medalist and all-around epic human, Arisa Trew has had quite an impressive year, to say the least. She’s rightfully become a household name, from Australia to The States and everywhere in between, and she’s just getting started. 

She snagged gold on the world stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics, an extraordinary achievement by any measure. But the best part of this epic triumph? All she wanted to celebrate her victory was a cute little duck to call her own. Ha! Her friends at Vans understood the assignment perfectly, and well, here we are—the custom Sk8-Hi featuring an all-over duck print was born. Check it out:

„At just 14, Arisa Trew made history by becoming the first woman to land a 900. She followed that by taking home gold on the world stage, all in the same year. But the moment that truly stole hearts? A deal with her parents: win gold, get a duck,“ Vans mentions in the caption. 

„Honoring Arisa’s incredible story and historic victory, Vans created a custom Sk8-Hi featuring an all-over duck print that nods to her fearless drive and playful spirit. Launching alongside her avatar debut in Vans World 2.0 on Roblox, this drop celebrates Arisa’s barrier-breaking approach to pushing skateboarding forward —one trick, and one duck, at a time.“

You certainly don’t need me to tell you how bright Arisa’s future is right now, but I will say it’s been so rad seeing he burst out of her bubble and become such a major figure in the skateboarding world. So well-deserved! 

If I were you, I’d cop a pair of these simply based on the legacy this hungry up-and-comer is creating right now. And I think it’s safe to say this won’t be her only Vans model. At any rate, the story behind these are super special… and let’s be real—who doesn’t love ducks?! 

Congrats to Arisa on everything she’s accomplished up to this point. The future is bright as can be. Skateboarding is in good hands because of people like Trew. Can’t wait to see what she hits us with in 2025!

One of the best things about skateboarding is the places it can take us. 

From coast to coast, country to country and everywhere in between, there’s no shortage of gnarly terrain out there waiting to get conquered. And this massive gem of a spot out in Poland that Chris Russell recently tackled is the perfect example. Take a look:

„Muscle has had his sights on the infamous monument spot in Poland for years, and the pieces finally came together this Summer to make the trek out to this epic spot and check it off his bucket list,“ Creature mentions. „Lurk with Chris and special guest vagabond Erick Winkowski across the pond, pit-stopping in Berlin before making the journey to Poland to battle a behemoth while wrapping up his latest OJ video part.“ 

This massive natural quarter pipe is certainly bucket list-worthy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an absolute beast of a spot. Look at that thing! Absolutely terrifying.

Let’s be real—getting any trick on that spot would be insane. But the fact that Muscle literally sessions that thing, rifling off multiple gnarly tricks and securing a handful of clips is pretty unreal. Not just anyone could do that, you know? 

Also, the average person might stumble across this monument without a single thought. Meanwhile, any skateboarder would cross paths with it and think, „If only…“

Respect to Chris for seizing the moment and making it happen. It’s dudes like him that constantly keep the fire burning and I love to see it. Shoot, I’d love to catch a couple kick turns here, maybe a little frontside ollie, but what Chris was able to do here is super special. 

Never stop searching! I’ll leave it at that.
