Jeff Grosso's Love Letters to Skateboarding - Season 1 (Teaser + 8 Episodes)
Jeff Grosso has a new web show called LOVE LETTERS to SKATEBOARDING. If you are under 30 you may not be too familiar with the legend of the Grossman so we put together a little teaser to show you why this guy is qualified to have his own show. Sit back and feel the love.
In the first episode of Jeff Grosso's new show, Jeff sends his first "Loveletter" to skateboarding legend Steve Olson. As a young sponsored am riding for Santa Cruz, Jeff was flown to San Francisco to meet the team. Jeff talks about first meeting Steve Olson and they both compare their own versions of the story.
The Backside Smith Grind is now called a "Back Smith", but it should actually be called something else. Find out why on the 2-part Love Letter to the Monty Grind.
Jeff brings in Alex Olson to shed some light on the Monty Grind aka the Back Smith. "It's a complete mind f@#k to learn the thing. If you think you got it on lock, you really don't."
In this episode, Jeff breaks down the lost art of the Handplant, and all of it's many variations. "It's about the actual movement, the fluidity of the movement, and how utterly perfect you make it."
In this episode Grosso goes to skate Bucky's "monolith" of a bowl and then gets him to send out a Love Letter of his own. Its a two for one special.
Tune in and find out who Steve Caballero sends a Love Letter out to. Hint... it ain't Grosso.
"How do you make it as gnarly and as death as possible?......that's Schroeder in a nut shell." This week's Love Letter goes out to Big Ben Schroeder--one of the innovators of skateboarding.
Back in the early 90's when kids were riding 39mm wheels and wearing size 50 pants Kelly Bellmar was laying down one of the first ever built to skate backyard pools. In the season finale, Jeff is joined by Peter Hewitt, Sam Hitz and Darren Navarette (and of course Bellmar) to swap tales of the crete and mosh on the flat. We'll be back in a few months with a bunch of new Love Letters...stay tuned.

Tsol - Code Blue
Tsol - Code Blue Lyrics
I never got along with the girls at school
Filling me up with all their morals and their rules
They'd pile all their problems on my head
I'd rather go out and fuck the dead
'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain
I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead
Middle of the night so silenty
I creep on over the mortuary
Lift up the casket and fiddle with the dead
Their cold blue flesh makes me turn red
'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain
I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead
And I don't even care how she died...
But I like it better if she smells of formaldehyde!
Never on the rag or say leave me alone
They don't scream and thay don't moan
Don't even cry if I shoot in the hair
Lying on the table she smiles and she stares
[Chorus]

John's Winter Highlights - O'Neill
John Florence has been a household name since the age of 7, but this past winter John's Hawaiian performances blew minds. He capped it off with two Pipeline wins in January. Here is a video look back at Florence's 2010/2011 Winter Highlights.
Bloodlines Hawaii Camp 3 Highlights
The Bloodlines groms, the third of four groups to land at Billabong’s junior athlete development camp, hit the ground running on Oahu — but poor conditions and a meager swell forecast stopped them in their tracks. Being some of the campers’ maiden voyage to Hawaii, a diminutive north swell enabled the boys to at least get comfortable in their fresh surroundings and have ample warmup sessions prior to the appearance of a sizeable new north swell on the horizon.
On the third day, the kids were surprised with the arrival of camp mentor Shane Dorian. The first course of Shane-O’s North Shore curriculum: Sunset Beach. Managing the large, lumpy and shifty lineup of Sunset Point was their first test, in which each surfer intently watched Professor Dorian stroke into a few solid 8-footers from deep in the pack. Acquiring more and more comfort as the session progressed, each of the kids was able to nab a few solid rides from under the crowd — a very successful class for first day of school!
Drained from an adrenaline-driven day, the camp was abruptly stirred at 2 a.m. with the warning of a potential tsunami. The crew moved out to Wahiawa for the remainder of the night, eagerly waiting to hear the fate of the island. However, once the surges had struck the North Shore the following morning, it was back to school. Upon returning to the country, the crew was welcomed by a clean, 3-4 foot NNW swell reeling across Backdoor and OTW for the duration of the camp. With the tsunami-induced stress behind them, ready for recess, each of the kids happily waxed a step-up and charged the lineup. The campers had a heyday to say the least, as the late season’s empty lineups provided an epic playground and a fantastic ending to the trip… SHOOOOOTS! —Blake Pettit

Satanic Surfers - Puppet
Satanic Surfers - Puppet Lyrics
surrounded by people
who make your decisions
living your live
like a puppet on a string
you don't raise your voice
you do not oppose
they spit in your face
but you don't say a thing
soon every thought
in your mind
every dream,
every feeling that you have
will be gone forever
if you don't cut those strings
and start by living your life for yourself
you must fight back
don't live your life on your knees
stand up fight back
don't live your life on your knees
fight back it's your life
surrounded by people
who are running your life
they're always telling you what to do
you don't say a word
you do not oppose
just let them take everything away from you
soon every thought in your mind
every dream,
every feeling that you have
will be gone forever
if you do not break free
and start by living your life for yourself

Volcom's Kickflip-Off Rules (updated)
OFFICIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR VOLCOM STONE’S $20,000 KICKFLIP-OFF CONTEST!
Volcom is giving away $20,000 to the first person that can land a “proper” kickflip while surfing! By proper we mean an “above and off the lip” kickflip where first you bottom turn, launch an air, use your front foot to flip the board, and then land on it and ride out cleanly. No chop hops, backwash, fingerflips, grabs or laybacks. Just a proper kickflip. We’re going to be strict on these following guidelines. The rules are all listed here, so get out there and put this trick in the history books. Good luck!
Rules:
1. Your entry must be on video from the start of the trick through the ride out. No photos allowed.
2. This contest is open to everyone. The contest begins today and will run until there’s a winner.
3. The kickflip must be a proper air that begins from a bottom turn, is launched off the lip and travels above the wave. No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats, from the wave face, or below the lip of the wave.
4. All waves must be self caught - You must paddle into the wave. This means NO tow-ats, step-offs, jetskis, boats, dinghys, winches, canoes, oars, helicopters, dolphins or assistance of any kind.
5. No grabs of any kind. Not before, not after, not during.
6. You must completely “ride out” of the kickflip. That means if you land on the back of the wave and fail to continue surfing the wave - it’s not a make!
7. No heelflips. Or else we’d have called it the Heelflip-Off.
8. No shoes. Who surfs in shoes anyway? Regular “made for surfing” booties are acceptable.
9. You must be riding a real surfboard with at least one fin. No boogie boards, softboards, wakeboards, wakeskates, skimboards, kiteboards, trays etc.
How to Enter:

Entry form must be printed out and sent with footage to:

The Circle Jerks - When the Shit hits the fan
The Circle Jerks - When the Shit hits the fan Lyrics
in a sluggish economy
inflation,recession
hits the land of the free
standing in unemployment lines
blame the government for hard time
we just get by
however we can
we all gotta duck
when the shit hits the fan
10 kids in a cadillac
stand in lines for welfare checks
let's all leach off the state
gee!the money's really great!
soup lines
free loaves of bread
5lb blocks of cheese
bags of groceries
social security
has run out on you and me
we do whatever we can
gotta duck when the shit hits the fan
Bad Brains - Don't bother me
Bad Brains - Don't bother me Lyrics
You want to see me hang around, don't bother me
You wanna know if I'll get down, don't bother me
Well can't take your kind of life no more
Oh, can't you see?
So understand the simple truth
Don't bother me
You, you love to hear me say I give up you
You wanna hear me say I break with you
You can't believe that I could love you
You wanna know if I could hate you
Got no time for compromise, don't bother me
You're all the same just a bunch of lies
O can't you see?
Well pretty soon there won't be no more of you or me
Understand the simple truth
Don't bother me
You, you love to hear me say I give up you
You wanna hear me say I break with you
You can't believe that I could love you
You wanna know if I could hate you

Descendents - Hope
Descendents - Hope Lyrics
why can't you see you torture me
you're already thinking about someone else
when he comes home
you'll be in his arms and i'll be gone
but i know my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one
so now you wait for his spark
you know it'll turn you on
he's gonna make you feel
the way you want to feel
when he starts to lie
when he makes you cry
you know i'll be there
my day will come i know
someday i'll be the only one
call me selfish
call me what you like
i think it's right
to want someone for all your own
and not to share her love
and i'll have my way
and won't have to say anyway
cause i've got you
you don't stand a chance
so now you wait for his cock
you know it'll turn you on
he's gonna make you feel
the way you want to feel
when he starts to lie
when he makes you cry
you know i'll be there
my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one
my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one
so you want perfection
i see your self destruction
you don't know what you want
it's gonna take you years to find out
i'm not giving up
and when you've had enough
you'll take your bruised little head
and you'll come running back to me
you know that i'm gonna be the only one
Agent Orange - BloodStains
Agent Orange - BloodStains Lyrics
They can make things worse for me
Sometimes I'd rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
I know they know the way I think
I know they always will
But someday I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill
Blood stains, speed kills
Fast cars, cheap thrills
Rich girls, fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I'm lost my mind
Things seem so much different now
The scene has died away
I haven't got a steady job
And I've got no place to stay
Well, it's a futuristic modern world
But things aren't what they seem
Someday you better wake up
From this stupid fantasy
Blood stains, speed kills
Fast cars, cheap thrills
Rich girls, fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I'm lost my mind

The Amazon: Documentary Series by Skateboarder Magazine
The Amazon: Documentary Series Premiere Episode
Photographer Jonathan Mehring travels to the Brazilian Amazon with skaters Jack Sabback, Jake Johnson, Clint Peterson, Raymond Molinar, Adelmo Juninho and Kenny Anderson for 3 weeks of skateboarding and jungle adventures. Filmmaker Josh Stewart captures the entire trip.
The Amazon: Episode 2 "Belem"
The Amazon crew arrives at the first stop of their adventure, the city at the mouth of the Amazon river, Belem, Brazil.
After getting settled on their first day Kenny Anderson, Jake Johnson, Ray Molinar, Clint Peterson, Adelmo Jr, Jack Sabback, Joey Pepper and photographer Jonathan Mehring get acquainted with the local weather conditions, local customs and local skatespots.
Shot and edited by Josh Stewart
Amazon: Episode 3 "Barefoot in the Jungle"
After fighting the non-stop rain, the crew decides to follow the adage "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and gives a shot at swimming in a hidden lagoon in the jungle outside of Belem.
With streets too wet to skate they move on to prepare for their 4 day trip up the Amazon river, picking out the hammocks they'll be stuck in the next 3 nights of the trip and assessing the progress of the photo article thus far.
Shot and edited by Josh Stewart
Amazon: Episode 4 "Slow Boat to Santarem"
In this episode, the crew boards a sketchy 3 story boat bound on an 800 mile journey up the Amazon river to the city of Santarem.
The Amazon crew has to learn the hard way that if you don't show up early for an Amazon boat trip, you get stuck sleeping in a hammock with your head 6 inches from the toilets. We travel some 400 miles in this episode and witness some of the wilds of Amazonian life and hope that the skaters make it to their destination alive.
Shot and edited by Josh Stewart
Amazon: Episode 5 "Boat Legs"
After 4 days of sitting on a boat traveling 800 miles up the Amazon river, the crew finally hits land in Santarem. The boat arrives with one less person than when it left, as we learn that an American passenger committed suicide off the boat the night before.
Once they finally arrive the skaters realize they only have 36 hours in the small city so they get busy and get as much skating in as possible before their flight to the final city of Manaus.
Shot and edited by Josh Stewart
Amazon: Episode 6 "Manaus"
After hopping on a red-eye flight from Santarem, Joey Pepper, Jake Johnson, Kenny Anderson, Adelmo Jr, Jack Sabback, Clint Peterson, Raymond Molinar, Jonathan Mehring and Vitor Sagaz arrive in the bustling Amazonian city of Manaus.
By far the strongest skate city of the trip, the crew wastes no time getting busy on the plethora of spots spread around the rugged streets. After a few days of skating and dodging the rain, local skaters take the guys to some secret waterfalls outside of town, but they end up possibly going to jail instead of for a swim.
Shot and edited by Josh Stewart
Amazon: Episode 7 "The Jungle"
After two weeks skating and boating along and on the Brazilian Amazon river, the Skateboarder crew finally gets to launch an expedition into the jungle itself.
A few days into their arrival in Manaus they board a small boat named the "Jesus Christ" along with a few other foreign travelers bound for 2 days of jungle, river and tribal adventure. Piranha, monkeys, sloths, alligators, poisonous plants and deadly mosquitoes are all encountered on this awe-inspiring leg of the crew's Amazon experience.
Amazon: Episode 8 "Ayahuasca"
The Skateboarder crew emerge from their jungle tour to discover a soccer field and they quickly slip into a heated game of gringo football. The next morning they find themselves presented with the terrifying prospect of swimming with creepy pink monsters of the Amazonian deep and then wrap up their jungle adventures with a midnight tribal performance in which the entire group ingests the ritualistic psychadellic potion known as Ayahuasca. See what becomes of our psychonauts on this bizarre twist to their Amazon experience.
Amazon: Episode 9 "River's End"
On the last day of their 3 week Amazon adventure, the Skateboarder Magazine crew musters up their energy for one final session before their flights back home. With the little strength they have left, the gaggle of Americans and a few locals shred the streets and eventually hit an amazing natural spot in the middle of a random basketball court in what turns into the best session of the tour.
Thank you to Jonathan Mehring for making this trip happen and to Converse shoes and Skateboarder Magazine for their support. This adventure also wouldn't have been possible without the incredible hospitality of the Belem and Manaus skate crews who looked after us like family. Thank you so much to everyone involved and to you for watching.

Alexisonfire - Dog's Blood
Alexisonfire - Dog's Blood Lyrics
Endless whispers, skies that bleed
Dogs blood falls from it like rain
Choke the rivers, flood the streets
Canine era, canine teeth
New kind of soldier, born of scars
Cut so much skin and the blood of dogs
Face my arrow here in the field
Insides will drown, drink their own tears
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
They will hunt them to the last
Time of the mongrel, down to the past
Sterilize you a new scene
Wolves awake from the endless dream
Born from faith, but the ember will fall
Every new year marks who are born
They will strike with the hands of God
Marks the end of the era of dog
Howls heard for miles around
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
In dog's blood we will all drown
(We will all drown, we will all drown)
No escape, no mercy, through the ruined town
We will all bathe in the blood of hounds
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Howls heard for miles around
In dog's blood we will all drown
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Dog's blood
(Howls heard for miles around)
Dog's blood
(In dog's blood we will all drown)
Josh's Winning Slob!
Call us anal-retentive as much as you like, but when d'you think the surfing media will start calling things what they really are? Sure, everyone makes mistakes, us included, but there comes a time when incorrect labelling should cease. How fierce do you surmise the backlash'd be if a cutback was labelled a floater? Or a tube-ride captioned as a re-entry? Very fierce, wethinks.
If you are surfing a wave on your frontside, and you launch a frontside aerial, grabbing your toe-side rail with your leading arm (left arm for regulars, right arm for goofys), then you are performing a slob grab. Same grab on your backside? That's called a mute. There is a distinct difference. Backside and frontside. Different. The grab that Josh Kerr gripped through his winning frontside air-reverse in the final of the Boost SurfSho last weekend? Toe-side rail, grabbed with left arm – a slob.
So why are we raising this point? Because not one media website, blog or publication, surfing or otherwise, has called Josh Kerr's winning manoeuvre what it actually was.
ASP – "Kerr surfed strongly in the final, with three strong waves. He won the event with a forehand mute grab air reverse that scored him a 9.0 (out of a possible 10) from the judges who said it was beautifully executed with great rotation."
Australia's Surfing Life – "Reining world junior champ Jack Freestone was close to taking out the event until Kerrzy earned the highest score of the final for huge mute-grab air-reverse."
Transworld Surf (quoting ASP press release) – "Kerr surfed strongly in the final, with three strong waves. He won the event with a forehand mute grab air reverse that scored him a 9.0 (out of a possible 10) from the judges who said it was beautifully executed with great rotation."
Surfline – Kerrzy won the event with a forehand mute grab air reverse that scored him a 9.0 from the judges who said it was beautifully executed with great rotation.
Coastalwatch – Josh Kerr laid on a show for the thousands of spectators lining Bondi Beach yesterday for the final of the Boost Mobile Surfsho, scoring a 9.0 for a forehand mute-grab reverse to claim victory and the $25,000 winner’s cheque.
The "Forehand mute-grab" does not exist. The term is an oxymoron.

Ignite - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Ignite - Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics
Sunday Bloody Sunday...
Sunday Bloody Sunday...
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday...

Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down
Social Distortion - Dont Drag Me Down Lyrics
Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep youdown?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down
Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry youreyes
Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep youdown?
I begin to watch things change see them turn around
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down
Ignorance like a gun in hand
reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies,
media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward
and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
and paint it black
Turn around, they'll try to keep you down
Turn around, Turn around
Don't drag me down

Josh Kerr wins the Boost SurfSho, Bondi Beach
If you were in Bondi over the weekend, chances are you managed to get down to the beach and watch a few heats at the Boost Mobile SurfSho. Bondi delivered – though it was small, there were cross-shore ramps on offer and the sun was smiling. After the premiere for his biopic, The Kerrazy Kronicles, held at White Revolver nightclub on Saturday night, Josh Kerr managed to push through the hangover and milk enough outta the the small Bondi runners to overcome Jack Freestone (who was leading the final) and pocket the $25k prize-purse.
Thanks to the nature of the air show format and the possibility of not managing to find one ramp in 20 minutes, the Boost SurfSho is one of the few contests where contestants like Jordy Smith, Owen Wright, Mitch Coleborn and Craig Anderson can score zero points in a heat (which they all did yesterday). The margin is huge in that respect – in the final, neither Jordy or Owen clocked a scoring ride, while Jules Wilson pulled 7.23, Jacky Freestone 8 points and the winner, Kerzy, handling a solid 9 points.
Film premiere and $25k in the pocket? Not a bad weekend for Josh Kerr.

Bloodlines Hawaii Camp 2 Highlights
Upon arrival, the Bloodlines pro juniors were greeted with a fading yet clean 4- to 6-foot NW swell as they hit the landing strip. Unlike the ISA crew that preceded them, the older juniors — having previous North Shore experience — came to Hawaii with a different approach, aiming to recharge before resuming their extensive travel and competition schedule for the New Year. With Hawaii’s late season providing mellow crowds and a consistent influx of swell, the squad couldn’t have asked for a more facilitating environment. From the Rocky Point playground to sandy slabs at OTW, the guys pushed to one-up each other every session. Striving to progress their own surfing and nail the best clip, the surfers put on a show for the North Shore’s visiting tourists. Here’s some of the action… Cheee hooo fo da boys! —Blake Pettit

Volcom rewards Zoltan the $10,000 - Redefines Kickflip-off rules and offers a New Prize of $20K!
Zoltan Torkos' recent kickflip has created strong controversy over whether or not it was legitimately above the lip according to rule #3 of the competition. However there is no denying that this is the first functional kickflip caught on video and a milestone in futuristic surfing.
After further review Volcom has decided to reward Zoltan the $10K for his groundbreaking maneuver, and at the same time redefine the rules and double the prize money on the elusive "above and off the lip kickflip" now worth $20,000.
"We really want to celebrate Zoltan's successful kickflip, and continue to push the concept of futuristic surfing. Zoltan was the first and we feel shouldn't be the last," said Volcom's Director of Surfing, Mike Guarino.
"This is a dream come true, better than any lottery win," said Zoltan Torkos. "This has been the most amazing four months of my life and I can't thank you enough! If you were here you'd be on my shoulders and I'd be running through the neighborhood!"
A video explaining the new $20,000 Kickflip-off competition with redefined rules will be released this week. Volcom is stoked that Zoltan's kickflip has been etched in the history books and are looking forward to seeing new attempts and rewarding $20,000 for the first surfer who nails it above and off the lip.

Visual Traveling - Michael Mackrodt Fishing Lines in New York (2010) & Bangkok (2011)
Michael Mackrodt somehow manages to fly over to the East coast for a week or two for the past three years. Even though Michael just finished his new European Element part and this trip could of been a vacation, we still filmed everyday for a week. We watched the World Cup games and filmed a fisheye line everyday. Go fishing!
The setting for the second part of 'fishing lines' is located in the exotic but crowded streets of the Buddhist capital state of Thailand. Thanks to Planet-sports.de, it was feasible for Michael to jet over to South East Asia to
film a hundred and ninety second web clip with the one and only Sharon Jones musically balancing the lines filmed on the monarch streets of Bangkok. A.k.a. the number one farangs destination (thai for foreigner), where the friendly looking King has his eyes on you, through different mediums such as portraits, shrines, posters & calenders.

Motorhead - Overkill
Overkill Lyrics
Only way to feel the noise is when it´s good and loud
So good you can´t believe, it´s screaming with the crowd
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine
Shake your head, you must be dead if it don´t make you fly
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
Know your body´s made to move, feel it in your guts
Rock ´n´ roll ain´t worth the name if it don´t make you strut
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Don´t sweat it
Get it back to you
Overkill
