The results are in. After hours reviewing footage and photography from the Dash Point Pro/Am Flatland Skimboarding Competition, we have reached our final diagnosis. Skimboarding is SICK. This first became apparent when competitors started popping their tricks unnaturally high, then began throwing down mad tech all over the massive slider feature built by DB Skimboards. After we learned that skimboarders from Washington, Canada, California, and Utah made the trip to skimboard in the event, there has even been talk of a pandemic. At this point, rollerblading and neon elbow pads may be the only cure…

Something the Discovery Channel could have never prepared you for… So out of this world that Animal Planet is in denial of its very existence… But this fall, the myth becomes reality.
Spacecraft’s portable screen print factory has been cranking out lessons in how to DIY stickers. With help from Reed Silberman and Windell’s Camp, (The Greatest Place on Earth), there has been a weekly clinic for learning how screen printing works. 6 fresh designs were created by Spacecraft to allow first hand interaction with the campers at Windell’s. Click here to see what’s up with Spacecraft’s portable screening unit. Huge thanks to Reed, Milbs, and Windell’s for opening up a fun learning environment for all involved ::

So Danny Way traveled a record breaking 79 ft off of a mega ramp, and yah, Rob Dyrdek did a 100 ft boardslide, but in outer space, these are minuscule measurements. We expect greater things from our astronauts, which is why we are stoked on Paul Kent’s recent 250.4 mile skateboard record! Check out what he has to say about this amazing feat below:
I made it to Seattle and I participated in the 7th Ultra Skate, skateboarding
ultra marathon this June 21st-22nd. For some strange reason, likely self loathing on some subconscious level, I’ve always been attracted to the notion of trying to skate for a full 24 hours.
I spent the day skating through lots of rain. I did 100 Miles [2 laps] on the Burke Gillman and Sammamish Trails then a short commute over to green lake where I skated throughout the night. At 13 hours into the event I was still holding a 22kph pace with about 10 minutes per hour at 19kph. That’s when I tripped on a pine-cone and injured my knee. Subsequently, this caused considerable strain to my Achilles tendon due to my inability to bend my opposing knee. My speed was
cut in half at best but I’m stubborn. I still managed to push myself to go 250.4 Miles in 23:13 hours before calling it quits due to my injuries. A new record for distance traveled via skateboard in 24 hours. And I pushed the whole way. Expect to see me breaking my own record in the near future. I’ll be watching for pine-cones!
The rest of my time in Seattle was spent trying to coax my body to move about, purging my kidneys of blood, and meeting up with the folks at Space Craft. I got to see lots of neat stuff. Next we were off to get a Jones soda and then catch our flight back to Canada.
Big thanks to my wife Rachael, Rayne Longboards, Royal
Board Shop, Seismic Skates, the Seattle LDP gang, Space Craft and James Peters of
pavedwave.org for holding the event.
Congrats Paul!
Mike Basich has been shredding since it was cool to rock hockey gloves on the the slopes and to this day continues to provide us with awe-inspiring and iconic photography from his life in the powder. He lives off his own 40-acre backyard where he built his own house from the stones on the land, and produces his own eco-friendly, hand crafted snowboards from a 400-year-old pine tree that fell in his giant backyard/playground. Mike is truly a child of mother nature and gifted snowboarder and shows it in every aspect of his life. He gives a new meaning to the phrase, “I want to be like Mike”.
Check out his blog for updates on his current projects, beautiful photography, and videos.
