Continuing with our look at the new 3D skateboarding videos premiering at the International Skateboard Film Festival, today we have the Krooked KROOK3D 3D teaser. This video brings the 3D camera equipment to the streets, rather than sitting in a studio, to capture the Krooked team blazing around the west coast, mostly the hilly streets of San Francisco. The full-length DVD was released a year ago and paved the way for guys like Ty Evans and crews like Red Bull (spoiler alert!) to combine the new technology with skateboard moviemaking.

KROOK3D 3D features the skating of the legendary Mark Gonzales, Dan Drehobl, Bobby Worrest, Mike Anderson, Brad Cromer, David Clark, and Luke Croker. No special sets or props like the Girl video, but a progressive team video that was shot in 3D and presented that way. Need some 3D glasses? You can make them at home, or hit the magazine rack a la our method used on Monday.

The 3D skateboard movies were presented this week as part of the International Skateboard Film Festival, which is currently about to wrap up in LA, but if you’re in Long Beach you can catch the final showing this evening. Check back later in the week for the third video from the 3D category.

Visionary film director Ty Evans came up through the skateboard game. But, these days he has a studio that churns out special projects and advertising campaigns for big corporations, yet he hasn’t forgotten his roots. Ty Evans, for those of you that have never sat through the credits after a skate video (its polite to do so, especially when at the premiere BTW), is the brainchild behind many of your favorite Girl skateboards and Lakai films like Yeah Right! and Fully Flared.

His next project after the pair of award-worthy skate videos already notched on his bedpost was to dive into the world of 3D moviemaking. He recruited industry standard RED cameras and a new one called the Phantom that allows for Ty’s trademark super slow-mo shots. To get the most out of the 3D action, the crew built a whole forested wonderland at a Hollywood studio, using some magic to take the streets to the woods.

Unbeleafable features the skating of Eric Koston, Kenny Anderson, Elijah Berle, Chico Brenes, Justin Eldridge
, Chris Roberts, 
Raven Tershy
, Jeron Wilson, Shane O’Neill
 and more. You can watch it on your computer, unless you have the 3D TV hookup, in which case by all means go big. Do yourself a favor and get the glasses though, it’s definitely worth your while. We just went down to the magazine rack and lifted some out of a nudie mag, 3D porn is huge right now, and we officially condone neither of the previous statements, but nice work on this one Mr. Evans, can we get a full length next?

Nyjah Huston | Battle Commander

Nyjah Huston has had a career that most kids dream about. Youngest competitor in X Games history, two solid video parts, video game appearances, and, according to his Wikipedia entry, he was also the recipient of the inaugural Kentucky Unbridled Spirit Award for Action Sports. Whatever that is, it must be an incredibly distinguished prize and probably has something to do with horses and whiskey since it’s from Kentucky. All this before the age of seventeen, and now he’s the newest Battle Commander at The Berrics.

Fresh off his win at Street League this summer, it seems like Nyjah wasted no time getting started on his Battle Commander part, and how well deserved it is. 270 blunts, big flips, and the kind of board control that has put him where he is today.

Sit back and enjoy some real skateboarding from The Berrics, which is a nice break from the games of SKATE that seem like they’re always going on, and the 10 second Bangin’ clips.  Its been a while since they had a new Battle Commander, so congratulations to Nyjah Huston on bringing it back!

As winter begins to fall on a few lucky resorts around the country, Plan B Skateboards headed over to Hawaii to celebrate the 40th anniversary of T&C Skateshop and offer up one last glimpse of the beaches before we get down to business bombing hills. That’s a commendable streak, we’ve been killing it over here at The House for almost 30 on our own, but congratulations to our island friends.

The team got a big mahalo from their fan base in Hawaii, with a line wrapping around the shop to look like they were giving away new iPhones inside. The team signed boards and posters and all the usual goods and then headed to a local park to show the kids how we do things on the mainland.

The park looks super fun, with ledges waxed to perfection and just the right amount of tranny sprinkled around. Now, as you watch this edit to the sweet island sounds of Pat Duffy’s ukulele, pay close attention to how the majority of the Plan B team skates the park, and what Ryan Sheckler does to it at the end. The kid just skates like nothing is big enough to keep him entertained, and this is on a team that features all-stars like Paul Rodriguez, PJ Ladd, Torey Pudwill, Pat Duffy, Colin McKay, and Danny Way.

Rob Dyrdek has managed to break into the mainstream media as a big time superstar on MTV, but he still manages to maintain his roots as a skateboarder. Its no secret that he has parlayed his skills on a board into a successful career as a TV personality, and consequently turned that success back over to the skateboarding community at large by building some of the best skate spots in the country through the Rob Dyrdek Foundation.

Now, its your turn to help out, at the 2nd Annual Rob Dyrdek Foundation Benefit. The fundraiser will open up the doors to the legendary Fantasy Factory in Los Angeles to the public for this rare occasion. This gives you the chance to meet Beefy and Meaty, jump in the foam pit, and rub elbows with the celebrities that will no doubt be in attendance.

Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and UFC President Dana White will be there for the fun, food, and musical performances, so if you have an opening in your schedule on Saturday, October 15 then come on out to the Factory and support skateboarding for the youth.

The Rob Dyrdek Foundation has already built nine safe skate spots around the country, and unlike skateparks that get built by any run of the mill concrete company, these parks are some of the best in the world, and the continued support at events like this are what makes it possible.

Put away your homework, The Berrics has a new little brother. DC Shoe Co. opened up their own exclusive skate facility in Barcelona earlier this week, which is good news for a city stricken with such a severe lack of outdoor skate spots. The DC Embassy is just like any other embassy, in that it provides a safe haven for people from similar backgrounds to come together in a foreign land.

DC had a lot of help from their european team in deciding the skatepark layout, which was then expertly built by the CSP design team. The park has some fun features, and the site layout is a page straight out of The Berrics. Its only been live for about a week now, so it definitely has some growing to do if it wants to compete with the original, but I’m sure they have the Spanish equivalent of Zach the Intern there to make sure the site blows up proper.

The video above is just a little teaser, but the DC Embassy site is filling up with footage faster than an EHD at Brain Farm. The real highlight so far is Tom Penny. Rub your eyes and read it again, Tom Penny’s got a whole clip just to himself.

I don’t know how Eric Koston and Steve Berra feel about the place, but they’re pretty cool dudes so I’m sure they’re not too worried about it. Plus, think about the possibilities…a worldwide game of SKATE.

Paul Morgan in Santa Cruz by Grady Brannan

You could say that growing up in a town named after a skateboard company provides an unfair advantage to a forthcoming photographer. The city of Santa Cruz, CA earned its name for having tons of skaters everywhere, so all a kid like Grady Brannan has to do is walk down the street snapping photos. And look how good he is at it. This little gem of a gallery is just a small chapter of his portfolio, and the rest is like a how-to guide for living your life well, currently set in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury. Check out the rest of his stuff over at gradybrannan.com, and check back here next week for more of his stuff.

The country of Greece, according to always-accurate online sources, is also known as Hellas and officially by the name of the Hellenic Republic. The partyboys running the country have apparently allowed the country to fall so deep into debt that all hell has broken loose and they can no longer provide security guards or skatestoppers anywhere. Huzzah! The boys from adidas skateboarding took a trip over there to check it out, and from the looks of this video, the whole country is covered in the smoothest marble in the world.

Dennis Busenitz, Nestor Judkins, Tim O’Connor, Lucas Puig, Silas Baxter-Neal, Jake Donnelly, Pete Eldridge and friends drop the edit to celebrate the launch of the new adidas site, and now we all want to go to Greece. No longer reserved for frat boys and centuries of world-conquering warriors, the country seems to have a lot to offer for new skate spots. There’s some nods to 3rd & Navy, Love Park, and even a little Barcelona in their architecture, and the adidas team kills it all in this edit.

The intro is kind of long so don’t be scared of the double arrows to start it off, or if you don’t have six minutes, go straight to the end for a Mount Olympus-size backside blunt from Silas Baxter-Neal doing some conquering of his own. For more videos of the team check out adidas.com.

Last weekend, Osiris teamed up with Foundation and Ambiguous for the Park & Ride Event, an old-school demo turned contest that lit up San Diego’s Rancho Penasquitos Skate Park. The winners took home cash, and the watchers took home some goodies too, and we thought we’d switch it up with a photo gallery for you to feast on!
