skateboarder magazine's 411vm teaser video.

i've been watching and collected 411 video magazine on vhs format since '94. i'm glad that it's returning! chekkit!


in 1993, long before the internet made the world available with a few clicks of a mouse, skateboarding got its first taste of regular skate footage in the form of 411 video magazine. co-founded by josh friedberg with some help from steve douglas and paul schmitt, 411vm was the first of its kind, a platform showcasing the top talents of the time and quenching the public’s desire for video footage between the infrequent full-length skate videos of the time. starting off with the now iconic intro song and heavy opening tricks, each video held memorable skating and now serves as time capsules of the progression of many of today’s top pros that were then just staring out. departments like pro files, wheels of fortune, rookies and chaos made each issue entertaining and delved a little deeper into skating than just the tricks. in the coming months, skateboarder magazine will become your home base for the entire 411vm archive. we will be adding a new issue each month along with exclusive interviews and video commentary from the people who made it all happen.

brett sube's part in "hard times but good times".

here's brett sube part with some friends. fukkin' gnar!



i met brett sube in the middle of filming "hard times but good times". the first thing i noticed was his really relaxed style and amazing sube boost! he brought the fun back into our serious filming missions as well. i think when you grow up skateboarding you start to forget why you did it and get lost in trying to 'make it'. maybe not even for money or sponsors or anything like that, but just so you can live your life riding a skateboard and not some shitty 9-5. sometimes you get so wrapped up into the hustle that you forget why you even started it. but chilling with brett - skating, filming and sunday funday's helped bring me back 360 and connect everything back to just having fun on a skateboard. exploring the city and all the nooks and crannies it has to offer. along with that brett got that steelo! i think christian hosoi is his uncle or related to him so it makes sense. style is everything. that's what makes a trick look good. i rather watch brett 50/50 up some hubba then some kid huck some sloppy trick down 20 stairs. that's just me thou.

cheers to the hard times but good times, brett.

this guy skates phat! check this footy out!



i met vince thru my homie justin guillen in 2007. we would all go skate and at first i had no idea how i was gonna film vince 'cause he skated so fast! i kept thinking that i wasn't going to be able to keep up or i was gonna break my fish eye trying to film the vincanity! regardless we made it work! we filmed just to get footy since he was broke, sponsorless, working a 9-5 and ripping hard! then he entered that dc king of la contest and killed it! everything changed for the better after that. we sent some footy to chocolate and the rest is history! that footage is in this part along with whatever we could film over the years. hard times but good times.

cheers vince!

freeling – a skateboard documentary.

this is what skateboarding should be all about! thanks to mohamed helmie rahmat for the heads up! shukran, bro'! =)



today we can show you the ‘freeling’ documentary about skateboarding, a very different take on the subject than what one usually comes across on. andrew lovgren presents a documentary about the free feeling of skateboarding. the film features sean malto, austin cosler, dj stewart, reggie jones and mikey santillan.

the message of the 26 minute short film is “get out of the box and go skate” and that is certainly something we can get behind.

credits: written and directed by andrew lovgren.
produced and edited by andrew lovgren.
cinematography by andrew lovgren.
additional cinematography by dylan burke.
