Last weekend the Osiris Team hooked up with the Enjoi Team in Chicago for the second annual Chicago Park Jam.

Here they are at Wilson skatepark blasting ollies over hot dogs (defeatinglast years record of 25 with a hefty 32.5 to be exact):

A Big thanks to Dan Olson for posting this sweet clip of Sergie Ventura flying out of the skull bowl at Lake Cunningham Regional Skatepark during the 11 annual Tim Brauch Memorial.

DVS’s recent Skate & Create feature, Wood, is the second video masterpiece of its kind. This year, DVS took a more minimalist approach to twisting together skateboarding, art and landscape by using good ol’ wood as the vehicle. Although last years montage was truly amazing, I think this one takes the cake.

(I am sure that many hours were spent in the choreography and editing of this segment).

Enjoy!

Six European skate companies (Alai, Blueprint, Cliché, Element, Heroin, Trap) were invited to compete in Vans’ Euro debut of the DownTown Showdown on September 12, 2009. It was the first transatlantic Showdown and it rolled off with style. The Element team unofficially split their purse with Trap Skateboards from Hamburg Germany. Richie Löffler, pro rider for Trap said, “Sometimes politics go over skating, but then again sometimes the Skaters go over the politics.” [Classic!]

Anyhow, here is some sick footage of the teams skating 3 obstacles designed by Alai, Heroin and Cliché:

And here is some more great footage by the Alai team:

This summer’s ASR show in San Diego was recently kicked off with a Volcom-hosted mini ramp jam session, courtesy of Jim Bell Skateboard Ramps. JBSR is a San Diego-based skatepark building team who specialize in wooden mini ramps. This mini looks to be quite nice!
