Although he has flooded social media yelling "ooohhhyyyeeeaaahhh" as he rolls downhill, Alexis Lacroix is not a meme. This dude has shown us, over the years, that in addition to having a good sense of humor, and knowing how to have fun skating, he also has real talent when it comes to skating. For a while, now we wanted to do an in-depth article of this man's life and here we are today. :D

The British company Heroin Skateboards has given us this movie. A compilation of various scenes so unique and special that we couldn’t let it pass without analyzing all the details that make this a great work of contemporary skateboarding.

A female empowerment group on boards is brewing in Scotland. The crew that we’re going to talk about in this Squadturdays’ segment are filled with ladies that support each other and learn to ride safely and collectively.

We wanted to write this pro’s bio before Louie turned into Lou. Louis has been riding for almost two decades now and has managed to sweep away any obstacle in his path. He also befriends everyone he comes across. This is the story of a guy with exceptional charisma and effortless style.

In the early 2000s, when Nike was looking to penetrate the skateboarding market using their footwear, they found a strategic ally in Savier Footwear. Unfortunately, this relationship would be short-lived. Join us in taking a deeper look into this sad story.

Many people say they prefer to skate with their friends, have a good time together, and share new tricks and stunts, but what about the loners? Why do some skateboarders still prefer to ride on their own, just them and the streets. We analyzed some of the advantages and disadvantages of skating alone and took a look at our favorite skaters (the lone wolves) on that list.

Ok so, the guy that we’re going to check out in this article has a really 'peculiar' style, so don’t freak out. When we took a look at his portfolio, we found collaborations with skate brands, various content for online media, magazines, art exhibitions in multiple galleries, and an Instagram feed packed with likes. The simple reason everyone wants to collaborate with him is the same reason they're shocked when they see his drawings. He has a f*cking twisted sense of humor that most skaters love it. Let's take a look at what we are on about

2020 continues to receive people's hatred, but a film like this one shows us that, after all, it wasn’t such a bad year.
