_Dan Lefebre Summer Edit Number One.

Without telling anyone (except Taylor, who filmed) Dan has been quietly collecting clips downtown and has put together his first summer edit of 2009. What a sneaky bastard!

I, for one, welcome more Dan clips.

_Hans at Kirchberg skatepark mini rails

Hans in a week has filmed more skating than the whole of Toronto put together… but then again, what exactly are you gonna do 2000ft up a mountain? Hang out with the cows again? Yodel from the peaks? No, you’re going to line up two portarails and learn some new switchups.

Keep them coming dude.

_Did the Conference mess up the Carbons?

I love the look of the carbons. Sleek, streamlined and original (if you discount the Air Jordans they completely rip off), I’d class them as the best looking skates I’ve seen in a good few years. After hearing that Deshi would be closing its doors to amalgamate with the USD brand, it was inevitable that we’d soon start to see some prototypes popping up online, these courtesy of Powerslide UK czar Adam Kola, who also shoots for One magazine.

This is the first stealth shot to surface, along with an official product image… The USD SK Carbon skate.

I don’t know… I kind of like them as they were and I see a lot of the Broskows in these. What do you think?

_Just for Dan and Kevin

More Kendama than you can handle! Time for you both to raise your games, boys.
