The Catalina Classic 2012 Video by Deville that you need to see

Well it happened. A mass of longboarders congregated on a little island off the coast of sunny Southern California for Cinco de Mayo weekend and things inevitably got rad.

New Tunes Tues…. Best Coast!

The transcendental draw of California—casually basking in the glow of the sun, riding with your wayfarers on, and chugging cheap beer at a beach bonfire—is flaunted by Best Coast’s sophomore effort, The Only Place (Mexican Summer).

Bumblebomb Jam 2012

Our good friend, Amir Abib, aka "Mr. Pants" just finished his spectacular edit of the 2012 Bumblebomb Slide Jam that took place the day after the race. His flowy, well designed edit showcases all the maddness that went down that day, along with a little high flying tricycle action. Enjoy. Now get out there and host your own event!

The Downhill Disco 2012 was all sorts of rad, despite the downpour. Just goes to show, you can't stop skaters from doing what they do.

For those who don't know what a grom is, it's a skater who is under the age of 18. YES I AM A GROM AND PROUD.

Kitty Clementine releases her debut album

Posted by Charlie Snyder on May.8.2012 in Music & Art, New Tunes Tuesday

Kitty Clementine is odd. It's pretty clear that she's going for odd…but it's important to note that she succeeded. Clementine is the kind of musicians I prefer to dislike. She's the type that unapologetically does whatever the hell she wants to do, and that has a tendency to turn out like self-indulgent trash.

RIP MCA

Posted by Charlie Snyder on May.4.2012 in Interviews, Music & Art

It saddens me greatly today to say that we lost one of music's great pioneers. Today Adam Yauch, known better to many as M.C.A., one third of the Beastie Boys, lost his nearly three-year long battle with cancer.

Happy Birthday Josh Wright!

We've never wished any of our skaters a happy birthday on the site before, and we feel bad for that, so we're giving our New York shredder a shout out for being rad and surviving another year on this crazy ass planet. We all know that's a tough feat in our scene. Happy birthday from the WHR crew!
