éS in Japan

This is one of the best things you'll see all year. Not only are Koston's goofing abilities otherworldly, but they probably help him deal with the pressure of filming major video parts. Let's take a journey to the Menikmati days. We love you Eric!

Steve Alba, Rune Glifberg, Al Partanen, Arto Saari, Rick McCrank, Bob Burnquist, Omar Hassan, and even Ronnie Creager ripping some backyard pits.

We know about McCrank's skills on the stuntwood, but on this particular day with Koston, Rowley, Arto, and Sumner, he decided to grab the camera and do Fred's job.

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!

This Lyon, France rail was the kind of spot that would give up 15 or 20 makes a session including an NBD or two. Or three.

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.

Right after the mission in Mallorca, Rick Howard, JJ Rousseau, JB Gillet, Brian Anderson, Lucas Puig, Lee Smith, Anthony Pappalardo, Brad Staba, and Ty Evans hit Barecelona.

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.
