Altamont x Ricky Powell

Ricky Powell teamed up with Altamont and presented his world famous slide show at the Silent Movie Theatre in LA last Sunday. The show was a mixture of flicks including hip-hop icons such as Run DMC, Eazy-E, LL Cool J and The Wu-Tang Clan; raw street photography from New York City, and screens from early '60s TV shows like The Munsters. Every photo was presented with an interesting backstory with the Rickster getting more and more hyped as the night went on. Check the slideshow here.

eS Announces It's Avers "I Heart Lee Matasi" Collaboration

On December 2, 2005, Lee Matasi was killed in a senseless act of violence in a local bar in Vancouver. Lee was a great friend and leader in the skateboard and art scene in Vancouver, and was responsible for the formation of the skate park now known as Leeside. To show support for Lee Matasi's beliefs and the Vancouver community, eS and Rick Mc Crank have created the Avers "I Heart Lee Matasi" shoe, with it's proceeds going to the Lee Matasi Foundation, created in his honor.

"The shoe is a tribute to the life of Lee "Avers" Matasi.. a friend, skater, artist, inspiration, and one of a kind individual." - Rick Mc Crank.

The éS Game of SKATE, presented by Boost Mobile, is officially complete and 14 year-old Carlos Lastra from Hollywood, Calif. reigned victorious after he knocked out each skater with the technical wizardry of his feet. There were more than 13,000 skaters competing in 60 cities in the United States and 50 cities in more than 25 countries around the world and it all came down to Carlos’ last trick where he threw down a Pop-Shove-It Late Flip and snagged himself the title of éS Game of SKATE Amateur World Champion, a Nixon watch and Boost Mobile phone with a free year of service.
Immediately following the Amateur World Finals, the pros had their time to shine in the éS Game of SKATE Pro Finals with $20,000 in loot on the line. It came down to the final four skaters Eric Koston, Chris Cole, Billy Marks and Alex Mizurov. Not before long, Koston and Chris Cole were the only two skaters left and Chris was able to knock out Eric with a nollie backside 360 heelflip to win the éS Game of Skate Pro Finals for a second year in a row and take home the $15,000 first place prize.
