SHANE O’NEILL!!

Shane O’Neill’s unofficial pro video part has been released exclusively on The Berrics.

It cost’s less than a coffee to get it, and believe me it’s well worth the money, so I highly advise you to go over and check it out, especially because all of the money made from selling the video goes straight into Shane’s pocket. I think he really deserves it, because you can see that he put a lot into the video part, and the only way I can describe it, is “It’s Fucking Mental!”

Get it NOW!! at The Berrics

Recent Pro’s

Recently 2 skaters have turned pro.

They are:

Eli Reed who has turned pro for Zoo York

Luan Olivierra who has turned pro for Flip

Luan is the winner of the last Tampa AM that went down, and I would like to say congrats and good luck to both of them.

They both deserve it, and they are both insane skaters.

Skate the Pit Decks

Skate the Pit now has deck designs. The boards are sold through Zazzle, and the designs are all original Skate the Pit designs. All the boards are available through the Skate the Pit Store.

Remember to go to the Skate the Pit site regularly to check the new videos that go up at regular intervals.

Element Europe

Three of the skaters from the Element Euro team are in Israel this week to film for the new Travel Well video.

Yesterday they went to the local skate park in Tel Aviv to session with everyone that wanted to come down and skate with them, and that was really cool of them. It was a great time just talking and skating with them, and I would like to say thank you to everyone that made it possible for them to come down and skate.

The team members that came down are:

• Michael Mackrodt(Berlin)
• Phil Zwijsen(Belgium)
• Pirkka Pollari(Finland)

Skater Of The Year

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine has decided on who the SOTY will be for 2009.

The winner is………… Chris Cole!! He is now only the second person to have won twice.

I would just like to say that I think he definately deserved this, especially because I think at the beginning of the year that he decided he would just win everything this year, which he pretty much did.

Cole is pretty much “stoked out of his face” at the win. Go check out the vid of Phelps calling him up to tell him at the Thrasher SOTY page.
