On a hunt for a clip of Ishod Wair’s first place-winning runs from Phoenix Am over the weekend, ran across this TWS video that includes one of the nicer tricks seen recently in a contest or otherwise – a pretty ferocious f/s bigspin lipslide from 5Boro-backed Floridian CJ Dixon. Which raises the question as to whether we’ll see a push among pros to move this to bigger and sturdier rails, like Reynolds and Billy Marks did with the f/s flip lipslide a few years back. Either way there’s a sequence here in photo form and still on the hunt for the Wair run in case anybody can dig it up…

Somewhere I have this Josh Kalis megamix with a ton of footage from old 411’s and cameo appearances in other people’s part and whatnot, which I should upload at some point, but I ran across this stripped down edit of DC’s King of New York thing that came out a little while back and it reminded me about one of the best things about Kalis, how his skate ratness remains intact enough to keep learning new tricks and trying bizarre shit like that ollie over to b/s noseblunt… I don’t know if it works for me aesthetically or whatever but it’s a fairly nutty thing to even comprehend. Also witness the switch b/s bigspin, moving things forward in the living room. And of course the Alien video’s been pushed back til August…
