This new DVD by Enjoi is 45 minutes of tricks by really talented riders like Clark Hassler, Louie Barletta, Jason Adams, Jose Rojo, Caswell Berry, and Jerry Hsu. The opening scene features lots of falling down and getting hurt. But each rider makes up for those falls during his section with some really sick tricks. Adams does an actual flip and lands with his board still under him. Rojo ollies an entire street and makes it look easy! There is also a group skate session at a park, and they skate with football mascots, too! They included lots of behind the scenes clips to check out after watching the feature. There is an eclectic mix of music, ranging from Elvis Presley to Etta James to Dead Prez to Sonic Youth, so there is something for everyone. Also, there is a picture book in the DVD case of various times during filming. This DVD is definitely worth checking out for yourself!

Summer is almost here and you have nothing to do? Check out all the camps that are being offered around the country. Most camps last about a week (thought some are only 2 days long) and cost anywhere from $99 to $2,125. Check out all the dates and places at 360Skate Directory.
