Oski’s first time in Helsinki, Finland

Against all the odds, Suvilahti DIY keeps on evolving and delivering. Even though the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland did not give in to the skaters’ complaints and held its decision to demolish the biggest DIY of the Nordics, the community finished yet another massive transition and is carousing the annual Södervik Mästare championships once again this July.

Lifeblood Skateboards: Unfinished Business – Lockwalski in Japan

Lifeblood Skateboards’ Kevin Kowalski and Cody Lockwood visited Japan in October of 2015 and met up with the Felem Skates crew to tear into an assortment of terrain.

Unheard invitational – Portland, Oregon

Sergej Vutuc was in P-Town to set up a photo exhibition and check out Unheard Distribution’s invitational contest. He took some more “behind the scenes” photos, and he had this to say: “Rad contest…. almost like session… definitely gives special soul to event and great start for future events. The rest you can see and hear in video… one band on loud speakers (slayer) and rad skating. that’s it.”
