Some bonafide icons and a bunch of vert-hungry rippers found the desert to be a fitting place to bring the heat. Navs, Salba, Suski, Puleo, Russell and a bunch more tore the coping off the bowl or cheered as the others did. Once again, the Muscle crushed it.

The Pabich Bros and the rest of the Wrecking Crew dive into some backyard pools up North and do some serious damage in just two short sessions. No Chalmers flyouts in this one, but Pedro Delfino does frontside invert a deathbox, so pay attention.

Zane goes for broke every try with a land-or-slam approach. Even when a board breaks or his glasses launch off his face, he sees it through. Get a longer look at how he scored the first spot in Earth Goblin and found himself on the Lunatic Fringe.

With an established shop like Oktyabr to push the scene, the skaters of Moscow are on the move. This promo is teeming with city sessions, heavy hits on cutty spots and plaza destruction. And yes, that is Cambryan riding off that psycho drop.

Selling 85 million albums worldwide is quite an accomplishment. But Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament has another epic legacy. He has been pivotal in getting skateparks built in underserved rural areas including many Native American reservations. Here he talks about his roots in music and skating.

Ishod and some of the Fire’s heaviest Euro burners take to the skinny streets for an international rip ride, featuring more than a few epic bank and ledge locales. Take special note of Carozzi and Lintell—they’re really onto something...

The graceful style might trick you into believing a five block huck is easy, but rest assured, Morocco’s Nassim Lachhab is a master in his field. Besides the high-flying hammers, the man has ledges on lock too. Take a hit of this part before your next session.

Frank and Schmitty get the rundown on acid dropping off a dump truck with P-Stone, the grossest KOTR moments and a nauseating surgery story that’ll make you reconsider skating a rail ever again. Hear all the gruesome details straight from the Grimple star’s mouth along with a trippy playlist and a full track from STARHEADBODY.
