Do you remember those times as a kid, when you thought about, what you aspire to be once you’re grown up? Failure wasn’t on my mind back then. Was it on yours? Continue reading
The Flat Earth Review
StandardFlat Earth kinda dropped out of nowhere. Ty Evans had his Nine Club Interview. This video is not for those who prefer raw videos or detest special effects. It relies heavily on special effects, quick editing, high definition cameras, and multiple angles. Continue reading
How Skateboarding Became Anticlimactic
StandardTapping on the little ‘Facebook’ or ‘Instagram’ logo on your phone, to open one of the mentioned apps. Your usual skateboarding feed pops up. As you scroll through your subscriptions, you see a video, posted by a skateboarding account. The guy there does a ‘Feeble Grind 360 Flip Out‘ on a flatbar. You press like, maybe tag a friend, continue scrolling.
Another skateboarding page that you follow posted a video. Some guy in a skate park starts rolling up to a ledge. BOOM Frontside Bluntslide! WTF?! BIGFLIP OUT?! Well, cool. You press like, maybe tag a friend and continue scrolling. Continue reading
Best of 2017
VideoBecause it’s a YouTube tradition to do “Best of” videos, I decided to do one again for the best tricks of this year. It’s been a while since I stepped on a board, but going through all the videos while editing, looking back at this year, I can’t wait to go out and shred again!

Driveway Skating
VideoThere’s something I love about the simplicity of watching someone skate in their driveway or garage. Maybe because it’s more natural to watch someone skate at home instead of at some famous spot that’s been shredded by all the pros in their parts. Whatever it may be, if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy Paul Taylor’s videos.

The Evisen Video
Standard
Something that makes SkatePunk unique is the people involved. We have a great team that is global. We’re not just from a country focussed on the skateboarding. This is why I’m inspired to review this video. Continue reading
How To: Build A Rail Without Welding
StandardOn this Sunday, October 22nd, 2017, I woke up with one goal in mind.
-Build something-
The Saturday night prior, I stayed up late searching to find the correct pieces and their respective locations in the store to save myself some time and avoid forgetting some essential items. As the sun rose, I skipped my routine trip to the skatepark and instead opted to head down to my local hardware store around noon. Continue reading
The Letter
StandardThe presence of skateboarding is enormous, and it’s only about to get bigger by the implementation of it in the Olympics. Almost everyone will encounter skateboarding sooner or later, may it be on the streets or media. But what if this wasn’t the case? Continue reading
Tales of a Deck – Part 3
StandardI was 18 years old, just sold my beloved moped and I didn’t know what to do in life. Unemployed, never graduated and just started a YouTube-Channel.
A post by “Suicidal Tendencies” popped up on Facebook. They would come to a skate shop in Berlin, for a meet and greet. Though I live in Germany, Berlin is pretty much at the other end of the country. Comparing hotel and possible travel prices, I figured, that the money I’ve made from selling my moped, was enough, as my demands for a hotel aren’t extraordinary. I even had some money leftover. From the latter, I chose to buy something that I was considering for a while. A modern-day old school shaped deck. The “Welcome Banshee 90”-Deck was about to be mine. Continue reading
How to Backside 360
VideoAlmost any skateboarding trick that has a “360” in its name counts as intermediate. Intimidating for beginners. Backside 360’s are one of those maneuvers that I would only attempt at a game of S.K.A.T.E. in defense. However, SkatePunk team rider Paul Taylor probably does one as soon as he wakes up, and continues to do them for the rest of the day. It has to be that way because I can’t explain how else he would be so good at it. Do you want to learn BS 360’s? Let them be taught by the master in the video below.
