We got a sneek peek at Shaun White in Prague from our Red Bull European counterparts. Have a look,
Also watch Shaun White's new Red Bull Spot.
Quite the sight.
If that wasn't enough, he has a spot about his trip to New York.
From what I hear Joey Brezinski's Pro Spotlight in Transworld is off the charts, have a look guys. Thanks to Cliche Skateboards for the blogger info.
I arrived at Active Mailorders: Active Am 2008, incredibly late. I mean we are talking, late late. But the course was still rather untouched, so I just lurked my butt around the area, and took some photos. Eventually things were popping, and all the inland empire must have been there, plus we all know: kids were out to get some free loot.
To be honest, I kinda just hung out and didn't really do much, might even say I was probably borderline comatose. BUT, what I do remember is being woken up by the insaneness of Marius Syvanen's bsnoseblunt, and well, thats about it. I am positive other dudes ripped, and shredded, but I was obviously oblivious. But what you can do is check out skateboarding.com gallery of Active Am. Oh I also remember the sunset on the way out too! hahha. Thanks Active for having us at your event. Hope kids got hyped off the free drinks and the older men got hyped on the wing girls.

Jereme Rogers has come up with a new idea for the Plan B Skateboarders, well its not exactly new, its actually quite an old shape, but its new as of lately and works great for Jereme. Watch the video and see how.
For those who dont know, Ryan Sheckler has his own new INDOOR skatepark, built to his exact specs and from the looks of it.. pretty amazing. Insane roll-in, eurogap the size of Europe, tons of rails and hubba's. TO be honest, after this facility, Shecklebunny might be unstoppable.
Etnies already has a secret part up on their site, click here to watch the part.
Amazingly he already has some outstanding footage on his website www.ryansheckler.com, and some awesome photos. I do think Sheckler is one of the only people who can skate this massive park, and its pretty incredible when he does. Watch the footage here.

Ok, I'm sorry this is insane. Scott "Scooter" Decenzo, younger brother of Ryan Decenzo, has ANOTHER video part on Plan B Skateboards This is crazy, how can this kid skate soo much and have soo much good footage! To be honest, he doesnt even ride for Red Bull, but this part is that good, it needs to go up. Maybe he will be on the team someday, along with the rest of the hotdogs! I mean seriously, this kid is amazing. To see more on Scott Decenzo or at least his brother READ HERE.
Ryan has been getting blogged at everso infamous mikendo.com. Read the newest post about a skate day with him and friends Antoine and Nick as they travel and lerk on a regular skateday and Ryan displays a old trick recently renamed as "Joe Dirt". While your at it, also take some time to read some older posts about Ryan and crew.

I spent about 25 minutes watching the new Silver in Barcelona, and damn.. What a good way to spend that time. This video contains the following dudes: PAUL RODRIGUEZ - JEREME ROGERS - BRANDON BIEBEL - DANNY CEREZINI - NYJAH HUSTON - RONSON LAMBERT - ALEX MIZUROV - LEM VILLEMIN and some amazing tricks from PAUL TREP! I'd probably say that his tricks would blow some peoples minds! Not only was their this video, I also just saw some tricks from Jereme Rogers at GVR and a Silver Trucks Exclusive" or Jereme Rogers at the Syndrome Park.
Ryan Sheckler is heading to the Willowbrook mall in Wayne, NJ tomorrow for a signing. People I don't think understand the sort of devotion Ryan has. Imagine having to fly all the way out to Dirty Jersey for a 3pm to 5pm autograph signing! 5 hour flight for only 2 hours time. Wow, high fives go to Ryan Sheckler, seriously.
What I really like about updating the site for Red Bull is that I also get to go skating with the team. All the dudes are awesome, and really cool. So a couple days ago, I shredded with Ryan Decenzo and Antoine Asselin in Huntington Beach. 
We started off the day always skating flat, and maybe games of skate. I usually watch, cause well.. I suck. Their seems to be nothing better then games of skate, especially ones that make you challenge yourself. Even if you lose but land a great trick, your hyped. Anyways, then off to search for spots in Huntington Beach. I took them to some old spots I used to know back in the day but along the way we found some new spots never been skated before! Pretty rad to come up on spots like that.
Onward to other spots, we checked out a long mellow rail, and then landed on a out ledge with Marble run-up. That was the keeper, a little sesh on that spot and the night started to creep up. Of course we made our last target to hit an In and Out where everyone loves their Double Double's, etc. 
Then upon heading home, we met up with some Powell and Darkstar dudes and just hung out as they destroyed the spot. I shot some pretty cool photos of the guys messing around on this bump over can! I used a flash attachment, so my camera was kinda funny looking, but it was able to catch the shot perfect. (well not perfect cause I messed up on the first couple shots, but I eventually got it)
I did poach some skate shots, but I cant show you any, cause I'd get in trouble. But trust that some awesome shit went down, and how enjoyable it was to witness it all first hand! All in all, I went home happy and had a great day, and I think Ryan and Antoine did too!
