Heart & Soul - David Sandoval canes a BMX

 

David Sandoval

This guy is one of the new school of rippers in BMX. Some of the tricks and combos this guy throws down are simply ridiculous! One of the best web parts of the year for sure!

The new kid - Jack Robinson

There is always the next big thing. No matter the sport, no matter the year. it seems surfing's next big thing is a wee grom called Jack Robinson.

Regarded by many as the best young surfer on the planet, the snowy-haired Margaret River prodigy has redefined what a 13-year-old with a surfboard is capable of. His surfing at places like Grajagan, the North Shore of Oahu and Snapper Rocks has dented the egos of surfers twice his size and twice his age… while captivating them at the same time.

Now he has resigned with Quiksilver and no doubt makes more money than us hard working grown ups. What are your thoughts?

The old versus the new in Surfing

I came across these two great videos today. In one you have a guy most people have not even heard of, Matt Meola, and in the other the icon, Tom Curren.

The New kid on the block, Matt Meola.

Matt Meola just won $100'000 in Taylor Steele's new Innersection competition for his part, which you can view below. I had never heard of the guy before now, but watching his video I was mightily impressed. He looks like he has the new school air brigade down pat, however, I reckon Tom could teach him a thing or two about barrel riding!

Tom Curren is a surfing legend. Multiple world title holder, redefined rail surfing and possibly the smoothest surfer of all time. He certainly cracked a few airs, but he definitely does not have the arsenal of the new school kids. Check him carving lines in beautiful Indo waves in his video.
