Lev Maslov
March 09, 2009 @ 11:00 AM - by Deeli
The Moscow photographer and Kingpin contributor Lev Maslov has become the latest victim of camera bag theft in Malaga. Apart from going blind, not much can happen to a photographer that’s worse than that. Gutted.
On the brighter side, Clint Peterson has just got back from Chile with some footy.
Also, the second part of Nieratko’s exchange with Jason Dill is now up on The Skateboardmag site.

Ludovic Maselot is a guy that likes to get tech, but with a relax approach to it. This Anagram rider is always a pleasure to watch. Well, on a screen. I’ll confirm that when I see him live, I promise.

I don’t think the site’s new, but I just realized it had a lot of great stuff I hadn’t seen before. Go check it, maybe you’ll feel the same way. And what’s a person without a blog, right? Smashley’s got one and it’s a good one too.

Amazing. Is this supposed to reach the demographic which instantly recognizes it as a rip off and a fraud, or the demographic which doesn’t give a rat’s ass about skating and hasn’t seen Fully Flared? Songs of the doomed, either way.

Clint Peterson lives in a warehouse down town LA. Stereo has a little clip on the place up on their site. Ollie Todd crahses there in a tent that he sets up in the middle of what’s basically Clint’s living room. Remember when you were a kid and the best thing you knew was when you could set up a tent in the living room and sleep in it? Toddy’s living the dream right now.

New Beirut album out shortly, Boomkat now taking orders!
See, they almost walk as they play, like straight from the Kusturica film Underground, where the main character is followed by a Gypsy brass band where ever he goes. The first person to send in a clip where he does at least 3 trick line with a brass band following him, playing something catchy like wins a Beirut album!
Amen to that.

Mindfield scoop!
February 10, 2009 @ 4:56 PM - by Benjamin
As the Mindfield is slowmotionally exploding these days through our little world, people have noticed the newest Alien Worshop video gave nods to its roots by featuring J Mascis skating (!?) and Duane Pitre offering some of his contemporary music creations for images to go with…
Some of you will remember Duane
from his skating style displayed in the two first offering of the Workshop, Memory Screen and Time Code.
Well, he’s now a composer living in NYC and writing strange but interesting musical landscapes, like this one:
If you feel intrigued enough, you’ll find more of him here…

If anyone still wondered whether Kalis landed that sw bs flip from Barcelona years ago, well, the proof is in the footage. The legend has it that it took him 3 trips to Barcelona and a year or two, but the clip’s well worth the carbon foot print it left.
Partaix report
February 06, 2009 @ 4:03 PM - by Benjamin
Sam Partaix is just off the phone and back from Indonesia with some of the Insight illuminaties…
This is the kind of stuff they are up to when over there…
Here is what Indonesia also looked like to Sam…
Sam got a cold when back in France: from 30 to 0° Celcius will do that to you, I guess.
He is also waiting for a minor operation that should happen next thursday. But don’t worry, he’ll be back on board soon.
In the meantime, Sam commented on his free time like this: “Shitty weather equals red wine…”

January 24, 2009 @ 12:27 PM - by Benjamin
Just stumbred upon this on a cybersurf:
That Dave Caddo last trick must be one of the all time favorite photo I ever shot,
For various reasons… As you can see, you are basically skating under a highway crossroad! Imagine the noise and stress level. A police car had already pulled up and told us to leave (somehow!). We knew we had a few minutes before they’d drive by again to check if we were gone… Frankly, the noise was so crazy I could barely focus on my camera work, I don’t know how Dave could try to skate such a difficult spot. So, yeah, enjoy!

Now here’s the paradox: While print mags left and right are switching from film to digital to cut costs, it’s the amazing world of the Internet that is carrying the torch of photographs on film. Argue all you want about which is better, it’s hard to deny they look different. Anyway, moving along, nice one once again from the jolly good chaps at Tweaker Zine.
