Hot skateboarding action = The Berrics

So Steve Berra and Eric Koston were tired of being kicked out of spots in L.A and whatnot, and having the large sums of money that they have, they bought a warehouse and created their own skatepark - The Berrics. It's gone through a number of revisions, and you can see a lot of the transformation in a series that DVS shoes has on the park (quicktime required):

• Inside the Berrics pt1
• Inside the Berrics pt2
• Inside the Berrics pt3
• Inside the Berrics pt4

The big thing that they've been doing for the past 4 months is an epic game of S.K.A.T.E. (aka Battle at the Berrics) with people who frequent the park (SKATE is like HORSE in basketball - someone does a trick, other person has to match that trick). You might want to check out the early rounds but the finals have just finished up and here are the links to the videos (10k top prize!):

• Championship round - Mike Mo vs. Benny Fairfax
• Third/Fourth place battle
  

There a bunch of other fun stuff to watch as well - like Wednesdays with Reda (lots of inproper language so NSFW) and the Trickipedia (like wikipedia but for skateboarding tricks)

Rodney Mullen

If you've known me for longer than a few months, you probably know that I've done some skateboarding in my slightly younger years. As such, i'm still pretty into things (i just got a new deck! w00t) - and Rodney Mullen is definitely one of my favorite skaters. The guy is a machine, he does things that no one even thinks of or does anymore - but they're always amazing. check it out for your self!
