Champions Need Their Belts — Connor Champion’s Grand Collection Part

Daily News March 11th, 2024 · 3:22 pm

In a bearhug embrace of The Halberg Principle™ re: turning your homies pro, Grand Collection bestowed Connor Champion with a special edition pro board yesterday, to honor a man much deserving of a pro board, yet not the slightest bit concerned with the industry of obtaining one. Dat da thing, indeed.

Can’t think of a skater’s name more destined to be emblazoned across the bottom of a Carolina-blue skateboard than “Connor Champion.” It’s like the skate version of when the name Dirk Digler lights up in neon in Boogie Nights.

Cyrus talks the road his pro career has taken through Polar, 917 and Limo + injury recovery in the latest installment of Thrasher‘s “Out There” series by Waylon Bone.

Feel like this should’ve been on the repost circuit way heavier… On Friday, Stussy dropped an eight-minute promo by Antosh Cimoszko featuring what amounts to small parts’ worth of footage from Aaron Loreth, Diego Todd, Jesse Alba and Hugo Boserup + appearances from others.

The Halloween Stickers crew dropped HSS2 last week. No full Liam McCabe part, but that FedEx line is absolutely fucking insane. Not sure if anybody has done two flip tricks down the sixes before.

Some Footage …For Posterity’s Sake

Video & Remixes March 31st, 2022 · 12:00 am

It is easy to forget that we’ve been living in “this” for two years already, given that 2020 and 2021 feel like one giant blob of time. And for all the things that have irreversibly changed during the pandemic, skateboarding — particularly with friends outside, not in a skatepark — has remained a consistent comfort for all of us.

I found this folder of unused footage that Dre filmed almost two years ago (a lot of the A-roll stuff wound up in Josh’s “Quaranteam” part), and just got sappy and appreciative skimming through it, so felt compelled to put it on a timeline to have as a memento ☺️
