flip skateboards : 11 videos

It's hard to imagine footage like this getting "lost", but things happen. When Ewan Bowman told us he was working on a never-before-seen part of Bastien we were stoked, but the final product is heavier than we ever could have imagined.

Geoff Rowley is the new Battle Commander at the Berrics.

Skateboarding seems to have come full circle and with it Curren Caples has risen through the amateur ranks with a unique combination of power and style. Appearing to have roots both from the Dogtown era as well as from skateboarding's leading edge of today, Curren is a true individual who cannot easily be categorized. His surf influence is obvious, gracing him with an ability to skate all terrains and find speed lines to which mere mortals simply don't have access. Congratulations Curren on t...

Even at age 11, it was apparent that Louie Lopez had been blessed with an extraordinary flow and natural skateboarding ability. Now 18 and with seven years of am contests and videos under his belt, Louie is coming into his own, with perfect timing as skating has changed direction, seeking out a new breed of all terrain rippers. His smooth and masterful board control will take Louie to levels that are difficult to currently imagine. The sky is definitely the limit for Louie, as we look forward...

Theres been countless sessions at this famous spot. To this day, people still ask to be taken to it, but it no longer exists. Its sad because I cant imagine what would go down these days. Featuring Arto, Rodrigo Tx, Boulala, Rowley, Machnau, Bastien, Appleyard, and many others.

Two 25 stair spots in the same day? Goddamn! The Lyon ollie remains one of the gnarliest stunts attempted in the history of skateboarding... and he went back for seconds!

Who else made gnarly skating look so damn effortless and smooth? Appleyard (our 2003 SOTY) was in a class of his own. Let's take a trip back to the filming of Flip's Sorry video.

Remember this hammer from our September 2001 cover? Geoff got broke off, suffering just about the worst primo imaginable. But before the pain could set in he gave it another go and the rest is history.

LA ripper Oscar Meza earned his place on the Flip Am squad in 2011. An ankle injury put back his team intro video until now. Welcome to the team Oscar. #LetItRide Filmed & Edited by: Tim Cisilino Music by: Baron

This video is SO insane. The idea that one road trip could produce this much footage is beyond belief. Every type of terrain gets annihilated here. As seen in the September issue of Thrasher. Featurring : Geoff Rowley, Alec Majerus, Ben Nordberg, Louie Lopez, Curren Caples and David Gonzalez.

This is Ben Nordberg's first ever, full-length Flip video part. Filmed by Russell Houghton, Ewan Bowman, Greg Hunt & Greg Poisionner. Edited by James Gardner.
