Neal Unger Is A 60-Year-Old Skateboarder

The first video, courtesy of Germany's Old Skateboards, is about Neal Unger, who is still skating in his 60s. It's a young man's game, but Mr. Unger is shredding. 

The second video offers a bit more insight into what makes Mr. Unger tick.

While Spanish skateboarder Manolo Robles could easily be featured here for his amazing beard, you're more impressed with his ability to positively rip on a Penny board.

Hats off to Ernest Packaging Solutions for creating a space for creativity, innovation, and all-around fun. Their "Cardboard Chaos" series, in conjunction with Signal Snowboards, is all about testing the limits of cardboard through a bunch of design challenges. In the videos below, a surfboard and skateboard are designed and built from paper before being field tested by pros like Tony Hawk.

lurknyc | "Vacancy"

"Vacancy" is the newest clip from Nick von Werssowetz, aka lurknyc, the up-and-coming videographer documenting NYC skateboarders. It has all the grit and grime you've come to expect from von Werssowetz and his crew, especially after the release of "Strangers" (2015), a 16-minute rampage through the streets of New York.

Mac Premo and Sanford Shapes collaborated to make skateboards out of discarded plastic buckets from construction sites. They and 14 other artists answered a challenge posed by the World Wildlife Fund - UK and Do The Green Thing to "take stuff that already exists, repurpose it, and give it new life."

Supreme | "the red devil"

This week, Supreme followed up cherry (2014), the brand's grimy debut skate video, with the red devil. It's more of the same from cherry director William Strobeck, with the likes of legend Jason Dill and strong BX up-and-comer Tyshawn Jones casually stomping ridiculous tricks and generally defying authority.

Stussy x Dashwood Books | "Pools by Craig Fineman"

Hats off to Stussy and Dashwood for this one. Pools by Craig Fineman is a new book featuring a series of black-and-white photographs from the late 1970s by influential skate and surf photographer Craig Fineman. It's the result of a collaborative effort between Jules Gayton and your good friend, Duncan Campbell. Fineman was a lifelong friend of Duncan's and left him in charge of his archive of photographs.

From Stussy:
"Known for his artistic approach to photographing the burgeoning late ’70s surfing and skateboarding scene, Fineman took into consideration the overall aesthetics of a photograph. Unique angles and composition, intertwined with an almost architectural feel were hallmarks of Craig’s work. To further enhance said elements of his photography, we chose to present each photo in a distinct way offering a feel of the gravity of the situation, while highlighting the gracefully flowing movements taking place."

Stussy also printed a series of t-shirts with Fineman's photographs to compliment the special edition book. Check it all out here.
