We have assembled some of the greatest boarders in the world to not only be distinguished members of the new Berrics Snowboard team but to join us for a fun filled day of... (now you'd expect me to say shredding the gnar or the pow pow, but no, I'm not saying that) fun-filled day of hitting up the K-12s, Better Off Dead style. So please click play and join Shaun White, Travis Rice, Danny Kass, Todd Richards, Sean Palmer, Nate Cole, Terje, Jake Burton, Terri Kidwell, Tom Sims, Shannon Dunn, Tara Dakides and Travis Pastrana, filmed by my favorite filmmaker in all of snowboarding, Curt Morgan, for a day of fun, sun, and pure snowboarding with a street value of $68,000,000. Hang on to your knit caps, things are about to go buck. -- sb

Pontus Alv-Polar Skate Co

After finding out about Blackcross Bowl I went over to Pontus Alvs blog to find out what he has bee up too lately. Turns out as of Saturday he has started his own board company Polar Skate Company. This is some truly amazing news and i cant wait to get one of his decks. You probably wont see this in your local skateshop for a while but if you do be sure to show your support. Company's like this is a step in the right direction for skateboarding. Here is what Pontus had to say about Polar Skate Co.

My living room just turned into a warehouse.

I just came back from Hamburg with a van full of boards. Ha ha look at me a “official company owner” and I just turned myself pro again!!! Well I will be real busy the next years to make this dream come through. I have been thinking about starting my own thing for about 7 years ever since I quit Cliché. I don´t know what took so long to make up my mind and go for it. I mean sure I did focus on my two films… They took up a lot of energy….I just think I have been scared of the idea of having my own thing.

My visions and ideas are really high and I never seattle for less. If I could I would love to make every single step in the production, make the graphic, cut out the shape, design the concave print it sign it and ship it out etc. Well anyway it is on.

In the following weeks I will work on:

Do a official website.
Do some kind of catalog
Design some t-shirts, caps and other cool things.
Design loads of special shapes for future boards. I want to make them all. I love special shapes, small, big, square, short, long you name it. Special shapes rules.
Do a lot of skateboarding since I am pro again…
We are already working on our first film…
Go to Bright trade-show…
Oh yeah I forgot I have to try to sell the boards too….Ha so make some phone calls to skateboard shops.
Do more hand painted boards…
Work with a lot of great people, photographers, artist, film makers etc.
Go on tour with the team and all our friends. Meet other skateboarders and session together.
Have a lot of fun.
Build more great DIY spots.
Keep being creative and fun, inspire others to inspire yourself.
Give back as much as possible to skateboarding and skateboarders.

Oh yeah the company is called Polar Skate Co.
The german edition is out on the market already. So if you live in germany and want to support this little company just give Richie / MDCN a call for more info. Each board is signed and some of the boards comes with presents….

More about all this real soon. Now I take a break. Back on monday.

Here are some previews from this week in Hamburg.

Blackcross Bowl Basel

With summer well and truly in the air here in Switzerland (27 in Inti today) skateboarding has been heavily on my mind again. Unfortunately if there is one thing Switz lacks, its decent skate parks.
There is actually quite a few but most of the ones ive seen remind me of the rampage era that went through Perth in the late 90s.
So today i set out on a online mission to work out where all the proper skateparks are in Switzerland. There is actually a few that look really cool but i wasnt expecting to find this, The Blackcross Bowl in Basel. A do-it-yourself bowl built with the help of none other then DIY king Pontus Alv. The thing looks amazing and i hope i get to see it in person some time. Check out the the story wrote in American mag Born Ugly. Its an amazing read.

Berlin

Thanks to Keno for the heads up on this little gem. We are Massive fans of Berlin here at CoS, the city has got that much going on its a joke.

This edit follows a little day in life of a skater living the dream in Berlin. Got to love day in the lifes. Gets me keen to pack the frick up again and head off properly.

Few of the shots are actual shot in the kitchen of Maria Peligro, the bar that Keno part owns and runs in the city. If you are ever in town, go check it out. www.maria-peligro.com/mp/home.html

Kaunertal Jib, Kaspar Hösli

Joe Flemming

This flick was released 3 months ago but ive only just spotted it so thought it was worth a post. Joe Flemming shredding his home court, Carine. Everytime i come home and hit Carine I spot Joe there and every time he is light years ahead of where he was when I left. Its amazing to see how far his come.

'Wooden Nickels' episode 1: Mark Baines & Blueprint

It has been over 3 1/2 years since I switched from the VX over to HD. In this time, I have been filming on a daily basis here in Berlin and contributed to many different projects along the way. Add that with the tours I have been on in that time, there's not much room left on my hard drives.

So with all the unreleased footage, second angles, left over tour footage, and so on; I thought I would create this web series, 'Wooden Nickels', as a way to release the footage. I know how hyped I get to see new footage coming out or outtakes from other tours... I hope you enjoy this just as much.

After Making Friends with the Colour Blue, I am proud to present episode 1 features Mark Baines along with his Blueprint teammates for the jump off of the series.

Look for a new episode every Friday for the next few weeks.
