Guru Khalsa Roll Call
|TransWorld Skateboarding
Words by Mackenzie EisenhourGuru strikes me as an old soul. Chalk it up to his deep life experiences, extensive traveling, or spiritual upbringing-it's probably a mix of all that. The end result is an impressively grounded individual, wise beyond his years and calmly humble in his composure. By the time you read this, you may or may not know him through his highly anticipated inaugural Inhabitants part from the good people at Habitat Skateboards. If that is the case, you will also surely be aware that he absolutely rips on... Read more...
Feeding The Need
|TransWorld Skateboarding
Looking To Feed The Need, The Osiris Crew Got The Bulk Of The Job Done In Barcy.Words by Mike FitzBarcelona. We set out in pursuit of leisurely skateboarding, where the spots are plentiful, and the tricks come easily. The team was hoping for sessions where the atmosphere alone can motivate you to grab your board and make it happen. Our course of action was a one-month stay in the beautiful skate paradise of Barcelona-we were looking to Feed The Need. With the Osiris team divided into two groups for two-week... Read more...
Circa Jerks In South America
|TransWorld Skateboarding
Circa In South America-Armed Bodyguards Includedby Dave ChamiOn any tour there has to be balance and focus. Although you might be in a foreign country replete with exotic beers and wide-eyed local women, you're there for a job: to skate. Demos, filming, photographs, a good square meal and eight hours sleep, that's how to get it done. For the record, though, this is not how Circa does it. The closest analogy I can come up with is "spring break with a couple of skateboards," but somehow it all works. We... Read more...

NIKE NOTHING BUT THE TRUTHWHAT IT IS: The swooshes three-years-in-the-making full-length video. WHY YOU NEED IT: There're two things you must know about this video. The skating in the video is great. The skits in the video, however, are not. So, be warned, 'cause watching this video the entire way through without skipping a beat might haunt your experience. But once you get down to the nitty gritty, the well-flimed, well-edited (to an amazing soundtrack) skateboarding can't be denied.

Back In The Day
|TransWorld Skateboarding
Fred Smith III, a.k.a. "The Scamateur"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far less based on what kind of shoes you had your name on, was the 80s and a team run and named after the Dogtown Z-Boy hell-raiser Tony Alva. The late-80s Alva Skateboards posse inspired fear at most professional events because many of them wore black leather jackets, brought kegs of beer, and didn't rock pink spandex like some of the other more fashion-minded pros at the time.Within this team of Alva skaters, which included guys like...

Moonlight Sonata
|TransWorld Skateboarding
For reasons that are difficult to pin down, skateboarding has lost an abnormally large number of its finest practitioners in the most untimely of fashions. People as diverse as Jeff Phillips, Keenan Milton, Phil Shao, Tim Brauch, Kit Erickson, Harold Hunter, Mike Cardona, Pepe Martinez, Justin Pierce, Joe Lopes, Sean Miller, Mike De Geuss, Ruben Orkin, Curtis Hsiang, and so forth-all greats of skateboarding who were lost all too soon. This article will focus on one such loss-that of Pat Brennen-but more so will celebrate what he did bring us... Read more...

How to Frontside Crooked Grid To Fakie With James Craig
|TransWorld Skateboarding
James admits this trick happens pretty naturally on a bank-to-bench, but when you've got front crooks on lock like he does, we're sure it comes pretty naturally on anything. You're about to get taught by a real crookie connoisseur-you know this one's been aged to perfection. 1. For frontside crooked grinds to fakie, have your shoulders parallel with the obstacle and your front foot just below the front bolts.2. Approach with comfortable speed and at a slight angle, ollie, and start to shift your weight to your front leg.3. Lock... Read more...

Rising And Shining

DAY 1After the Billabong team's recent road trip in Nova Scotia, I tagged along with them to picturesque Cabo San Lucas, Mexico-out of the heavy jackets and into trunks! Our crew consisted of Chad Bartie, Jereme Rogers, Ben Gore, and Marius Syvanen. Mike Peterson was originally on the vacay, but he had to bow out because of an injury sustained in Nova Scotia. He insisted he was okay for this trip, but I wasn't buying it.After the loss of Peterson, I figured one more player would be ideal in case... Read more...
Devine Calloway Roll Call
|TransWorld Skateboarding
It's kind of hard to convey through the written word what kind of tone an interview might be taking on. After transcribing about a quarter of this, I realized I was using the old )laughs( indication a little more frequently than usual. The truth of the matter is that Devine was laughing at every question. And he was also laughing as he rattled off almost every single answer. Hailing from Bakersfield, California, and having been reared alongside P-Rod, Spanky, Mikey Taylor, and the rest of Kareem Campbell's City Star prodigy... Read more...
