Shaun White and the 2013 XGames Run

The Flying Tomato gets some boss elevation!

Shaun White is the boss man when you talk Superpipe. 6 Gold Medals at the Xgames prove this. His runs are clinical, super extended and he gets more elevation than a airliner! Take a look at his run to the Gold in this year's Winter XGames...

Bones Brigade the Autobiography - The start of modern Skateboarding

The most eagerly anticipated doccy since "Dogtown and Z-Boys" is finally here. Made by Stacey Peralta, the same director, the movie spans a decade when a crew of young skaters changed the face of the sport. The movie is available on Itunes and if you are lucky like myself and a few others, you get to watch the SA premier at the Labia this Friday.

When six teenage boys came together as a skateboarding team in the 1980s, they reinvented not only their chosen sport but themselves too - as they evolved from insecure outsiders to the most influential athletes in the field.

Behind the Scenes with Chrissy Teigen of the Skullcandy Supermodel Crew

The Vanilla Gorilla - Josh Redman launches web video

Josh Redman is a special kind of guy! For example not many young surfers are willing to follow the Captain's example and grow incredible beards. He also laughed off the pro surf racket and decided to concentrate on charging mental waves and tubes. Often mistaken for Skalk Burger when in the Western Cape, he does similar things to waves as Skalk does to people, namely destroy them. Josh, his brother Dan and Brandon Jackson have a new blog going and launched this video today. Go check out the blog at http://maliciousmustache.tumblr.com/

Len10 MegaLoop Challenge - Waiting Period starts today!

Every summer Ruben Lenten (NED), professional Kiteboarder and King of the MegaLoop, descends on Cape Town for the prime summer and wind conditions. This year sees Ruben, together with his friend and fellow Kiteboarder Aaron Hadlow, challenge 24 amateur kiteboarders to compete in the LEN10 MegaLoop Challenge in Big Bay, Blouberg .  

Big air equals a big score.

 

“A megaloop is when you go full circle with the kite – right through the power zone. As judges, Aaron and I will be looking at the style, height, length, enthusiasm and speed each kiteboarder executes their MegaLoop with”, says Ruben.  

In true kiteboarding tradition the best wipeout will be also rewarded. As the competition requires wind speeds upwards of 30 knots a window period from the 16^th to the 26th February 2012 has been secured to ensure optimal wind conditions. (

The Captain's Tip - conditions look amazing for Friday 17th!)

The winner on the day will take home R10,000 and a photo shoot with renowned action sports photographer Craig Kolesky. 

 

Eager challengers are encouraged to head to www.redbull.co.za for more information.

 

Ruben Lenten (NED) was just twelve years old when he took up the sport of Kiteboarding. With no kiting schools around in the early days of the sport, Ruben had to learn the hard way – taking four long months of crashing and swimming back to shore to get up (and stay up on the board). Once he got the hang of it he knew that this would be a way to express himself and started riding as much as he could. Soon, at the age of 14, a coach (Former Dutch National champion, Steph de Jong) and a sponsor recognised Ruben’s talent. This gave him the opportunity to start travelling and developing skills faster. Within three years he competed on the highest level and was the Number 2 Kiteboarder in the world – second only to one of his now best friends, Aaron Hadlow. In 2005, Ruben took top honours in Red Bull King of the Air in Maui, Hawaii where he competed in the big air format against his legendary watersports athlete Robbie Naish, and defeating Robbie right on his home turf. Right before the start of the 2006 World Tour, Ruben had a serious crash leaving him injured and unable to compete in the first few events of the tour. With him unable to score points to keep his ranking, he decided not to compete but rather focus on freeriding and finding new challenges. Since then his focus has remained on, as he puts it, “doing some pretty gnarly tricks with my kite”. He’s all about big air and loves riding in the strongest winds. “I’m pretty stoked to have kiteboarding as my job. The ocean is my playground, what more could I ask for?” Ruben is dedicated to pushing the sport and developing kiteboarding gear as much as possible, all while doing some pretty extreme stuff on his kiteboard.

I finally got Lord Bryson (Royden) into studio, thanks to his new shoe sponsor, Vans. Warbot from Vans also joined us and of course the lovely guys and gal from the very talented, Bilderberg Motel. With Lord Bryson on the show (He won an event in Scotland and was given the Title), we were always going to talk surfing. Also listened to 3 of the new Bilderberg Motel tracks and looked ahead to this weekend's, Up the Creek Festival. Some lucky chaps won a pair of new sneaks each from Vans.
