[When we initially ran across Livin’ Free, it was just a website and a concept.We knew that traveling videographers were working on a movie and it was to be “about longboarding”, but nothing more. Several months later, we found ourselves in the high school auditorium at Goldendale, Washington, waiting for the projection-screen premiere of “Livin’ Free – The Heart of Longboarding” .This is our review.]
It turns out that this flick is more than a little autobiographical.The videographers are pros that found longboarding as something to fill the time between shifts shooting video for television reality shows at various locations across the globe.They are, in fact, masters of their craft. They traveled with their shows, longboard in tow – and it was just one, shared board at first.By the time the idea to start lugging $10,000.00 video cameras around came up, they’d gathered some basic boards and began capturing footage that may change viewers’ understanding of Point of View video with longboards.With the videographers and the hardware, this production might have turned out too polished, too professional and maybe beyond the appreciation of the general board riding world. It doesn’t, if only for one aspect of the documentary: the Cast.
[Silverfish gets the video and we lock a couple monkeys in a box and let them watch it. The next thing you know, the monkeys are free and are sliding all over, willy nilly. Faltown was nice enough to hook us up with this video and after a bit of prodding the monkeys share their thoughts]
With Faltown Skateboard's release of the Art Of Going Sideways they not only put themselves on the map but also help to feed the flames of the sliding discipline that is developing on an international level. On hearing of the imminent release, we did what we could to get our hands on a copy. With company over we sat down on the couch, opened the Cheetos and hunkered down to see what was to be seen of the video. The initial credits roll and what follows is a vivid rendition of slop style skateboarding, the validity of the video as a statement of downhill freestyle skateboarding is true to the nature of the discipline especially in the opening and the following segments.
"D.O.P.E. is produced by Car Angel (a non-profit organization dedicated to stopping teen age drug abuse) and features many famous skateboarding stars. With guest appearances by Christian Hosai and Jay Adams from Z Boys, this documentary hosted by Danny Trejo with theme song by POD will surely grab the hearts of young Americans who think that drugs can be messed with without consequences. Trailer was shot and produced by BSC and the documentary is directed by surf writer Chris Aherns."
[The epic team of Saft and Boneless has released their trailer for their upcoming movie "Roadbuzz". We are supposed to be waiting on a writeup, but we are just way too excited]
In their own words, Road Buzz! "looks at downhill skateboarding through an artist's eyes." Film cohorts Saft and Boneless follow UK riders on a tour of European mountains, interviewing some of the characters along the way to examine issues of trust, fear, obsession and motivation and to try to draw universal conclusions about the activity."

It’s winter, the streets are ice and slush and you can’t step outside without your Gumballs turning into Sergio Sliders. Just thinking of pushing chaps your cheeks and, even if you did go outside you would have to shovel the walkway just to get to the street. So, what are you going to do? How about playing a video game? We got a chance to review Tony Hawk Project 8 this week and here is what we think.
