Bones Europe
TransWorld Skateboarding|December 2016

Waking up to a text from Jaime Owens about going to Europe with the Bones Wheels team was not a bad way to start my day; especially considering it would be my first time going overseas. And what a better time to go than during the Copenhagen Open? Two weeks later the squad and I met at LAX and prepared to get on the ten-hour flight we were all dreading. But with help from a little bit of booze, a few movies, and occasional sleep it wasn’t too bad. I even heard someone singing. To my surprise, I looked over and it was Dakota [Servold] singing in his sleep!

Bones Europe

The team killed the streets of London and Poland, with our final stop being Copenhagen, but all these stops didn’t leave much room for sleep. Considering all the demos they had to skate, the constant moving to new hotels every night, and drives that went on for hours, sleep was the least of our worries. Especially with the van parties and warm beers that accompanied most nights, leading to the phrase, “That’s a beer.” You can only imagine how many times we heard that, considering someone would yell it out every time they heard a beer crack open. We had a somewhat random crew of people coming and going, which made it super fun and offered a variety of spots to be skated. Dakota Servold, Taylor Bingaman, Corey Glick, Marek Zaprazny, and Yonnie Cruz were the main crew. Cody Lockwood met us in Poland, and later TJ Harris and Taylor McClung joined us in Copenhagen.

Mason Silva

Life is good for Mason. Since being lured into the useless wooden toy game by his brother Dayton, and the weird European videos he would watch in the basement, Silva stopped surfing long enough to win a skate contest he didn’t even plan to attend, got sponsored by Element as a result, then had Eric Koston walk up to him unannounced at the Berrics to offer him free shoes from Nike. Some people just have it that way.

Torey Pudwill Flatbar Frenzy

Basing an entire video project around only skating flatbars might sound like a shot in the dark. How many flatbar spots do you even know of?

From coast-to-coast and country-to-country, welcome to Torey’s Flatbar Frenzy. This ain’t your average front yard flatbar sesh! —BRIAN BLAKELY

Riddles in Mathematics

Our 29th full-length, 21 years since Uno (TWS Video 1, 1996) will have premiered in downtown LA by the time you read this. Once again wrapped in the skilled supernatural vision of Christopher Thiessen—Riddles in Mathematics marks the second video in our catalogue, after last year’s Substance—under his signature VX-centric “in the trenches” style. Starring Yaje Popson, Ben Gore, Leo Valls, and Bobby De Keyzer Riddles also co-stars Stevie Perez and Bobby Worrest. Shot worldwide in Paris, Bordeaux, New York, San Francisco, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Barcelona, we pulled Chris from his intensive editing binge on the eve of judgment day for a quick Q & A covering his latest masterpiece. —MACKENZIE EISENHOUR

Josh Pall

Turn and face the strange. Ch-ch-Changes. Already away from home since leaving Brisbane for Sydney, Australia six years ago—PASS~PORT’s and Nike SB’s rookie pro—Josh Pall (also fittingly the holder of multiple real world passports) is pondering some imminent further moves. Wherever he decides to call home over the next year (LA, NYC, EU, or elsewhere), said locale will also serve as the backdrop for his part in the upcoming PASS~PORT full-length— tentatively scheduled for winter 2018. Raised on the wholesome/not-so-wholesome videographic trio of Jump Offa Building (’98), The Storm (’99), and This is Skateboarding (’03)—Josh sat down for a phone interview to discuss severing his working class safety net/side gig to jump headlong into skateboarding for a living, and the truths and fallacies of “lucky yellow shirt” theory, Come on in. The water’s great. —MACKENZIE EISENHOUR
