Bonus Footage Part 2

Posted on January 30, 2012

We often end up with lots of random footage that somehow didn’t make it into other videos, but not all of these forgotten clips are worthy of being thrown away! Motorcycles, shotgunning, and even a little bit of skateboarding – this video has got it all.

Be sure to check out Bonus Footage Part 1 from back in 2010

Aprés-Skate Party at the Santa Barbara Arbor Shop

Posted on January 17, 2012


Wherein your favorite skateboarders have some beers and rudely yell “Free bird!” at the live band. The evening was kicked off by a session at this somewhat-janky mini ramp in Isla Vista. Kody has pop.

There was a several-month period during which I was the best ramp skater at the skatehouse. Then Louie learned how to stand up on his grinds. If he figures out how to take pictures, I’m so screwed. As the longboard dudes got tired of doing kickturns and frontside slasher grinds, the party moved to the Arbor shop.

Remember: always bring safety gear to the party. You never know when you’re going to need it.

Calvin Staub

Posted on December 14, 2011

We found this spot when we were driving home from Maryhill. The 101 winds down the Oregon coast between the mountains and the beach. When we saw a road that went up into the hills on the GPS, we turned off the highway and checked it out. While most of them had gates, terrible pavement, or no pavement at all, a couple turned out to be rad little spots. We didn’t get into SF until 2 in the morning; but it was worth it.

Crash and Burn: James Vs. Double Set

Posted on December 6, 2011

As Rip City Skate says, “Skate everything!” While this double set might not be our style of riding, it’s still fun to skate all types of terrain. James does his best to take ‘early grabbing’ to the next level. Wrongboarding is fun but you still have to pay to play.

Raw Run: Malarrara Pro Teutonia

Posted on December 3, 2011

The Teutonia hill can be compared to a rough roller coaster without safety harnesses. While at the 2011 IGSA World Championship in Teutonia, Brazil, Graham Buksa of Rayne Longboards was able to take a run with James Kelly down the fast bomb. The less you move, the faster you go. As K-rimes said in his SHM Facetime Interview, “The secret to speed is standing really still on your skateboard.”

Return of the Mail Video

Posted on November 16, 2011

Skate House Media isn’t just a collection of skaters under a roof. It’s about building the skateboarding community through storytelling reminding us why we skate in the first place. If you are reading this now, YOU are apart of Skate House Media. Whether skateboarding is your passion, pastime, or release, we all can get lost in the travels of our life. While some skaters might be ‘faster’ or more ‘progressive’ then others, competition has never been the soul of skateboarding. It’s about personal expression and putting a smile on your face.
