Do you remember Evolutions, the killer, free DVD that Concrete Wave magazine put out last year? If you're a subscriber, you received one with your September issue, in 2005. If you weren't a subscriber, you were able to download the entire DVD from Silverfish Longboarding.com, for free. Thousands of people did, and the project was huge success in the eyes of the sponsors that put videos on the disc and in ours, because we were psyched to be able to give to skaters all over the world. You can still download it, now, if you haven't already. Spreadin' the stoke, as the Jersey boys would say...
Well it's that season, again, and Evolutions Vol.2 is done. It's longer than last year's disc, with more videos from skate companies and it's still free to every Concrete Wave subscriber. It will be included with the September issue of the mag, which will hit the mailhouse in the last week or so of August.
The best designs come from a need to fill a void, solving problems that exist, and the passion to make it work. The following rant describes what Earthwing is, and why I bother trying so hard with all that I have.
In 2007, Sam Benson and Jay Duggan will be setting of on their longboards for their 3000km journey in the name of charity! After finding out about what Dave Cornthwaite from BoardFree has done and will be doing for charity inspired us to do our own charity event.
We will be longboarding from Devon in the UK to Santander in Spain via Calais, Paris, Marseilles, Barcelona, Valencia and finally Madrid. The Journey is planned to take around 2 months, with a constant blog update everyday, and video diaries being made here there and everywhere!!

While Lush has been hard at work getting the DVD ready for you folks, we have been thrashing the thane out of some wheels for review. After testing the Cannonball 60mm we wanted to find out how the 65mm Cannonballs handled. Check out our updates to the Lush review. I'm not going to spoil the suprise but I will say these wheels are fast sliders just like their little brothers.
[This comes to us from Lizzie at Purple Skunk in San Francisco. Help'm out.]
Crissie Ponciano, San Francisco's YMCA Director of Teen
Programs, has been working on what seemed to be a
never-ending project for years. The light at the end
of the tunnel has just shone through! Crissie's
mission was to administer the "FLEX" Skateboard
program at the YMCA that will start this summer and
continue after school and weekends throughout the
year. Crissie's prayers where answered when the head
of a nearby playground allowed the YMCA to setup the
ramps and rails on the premise. Kudos to Cabrillo
Playground (the administrator's son skates, so she understood the
need)!
