Three Alexanders and the Great Linkage

Thursday, August 21, 2008
If you are chilling inside on a windy Melbourne day, I have got a banging plethora of linkage for you here.

First off, Aussie Nike SB TM and critically acclaimed filmer and Super 8 guru: Chris Middlebrook has jetted to NYC where he is meeting up with some of the Workshop guys and Aussie Swooshbucklers Alex Campbell, Nugget and Luke Croker. Transworld's Skate & Create competition went online. Basically 4 shoe teams (Globe, Osiris, Emerica and DVS) were given 9 days in a warehouse to build whatever they wanted to skate. Their photographers and filmers then went hard at work to document their skating. DVS won (O’Meally and Brophy represent!), but all the clips are worth a gander. Broph, Rattray and Daewon pretty much stole the show.

The godfather of raw street: Ricky Oyola (shown below) has a sick interview over on 48 blocks. Fat snapper Alex Carolina gets all up in Strange Notes. Over on Slam City Skates there is a sick trailer for an upcoming production: A tasty edit indeed! The photo of the day (up top) is of Lewis Marnell and is by Alex Irvine.

Morgan Campbell is a professional skateboarder / writer / film-maker who has been habitually traveling the globe for the past 15 years. He currently lives in Melbourne, and is always up for an adventure or a lurk. A street skater’s canvas is the city, so his blog will no doubt feature some urban beauty as well as some randomness.
