Canvas Skateboards boss Arthur Sousa in uptown Waterloo, at the yet to be nicknamed plaza.

So far, the police and security have been letting people skate here…but not for long…the Waterloo douchebag yuppies are pissed and there’s a vote at the Waterloo Council meeting in 3 weeks to decide if skateboarders should be allowed on the premises. Guess what, there’s a hell of a lot more Waterloo douchebag yuppies than there are skaters in this city, so all the r-tards that spit and leave their trash all over aren’t helping shit all.

Time to go land all your claims down the big 4 before you get shut down~

Ademar Lucas, better known as Luquinhas with a tre flip flip over some filth. As soon as Luquinhas sent this to me I knew it was shot by Dhani Borges. Dhani can shoot anything and make it look amazing, he’s definitely not limited to skateboarding. To me he’s like the Brazilian version of Scott Pommier, skillwise anyway…SO SEEEEEEEEK.

It’s a double dose for this weeks DTT and is hosted by Nike SB China’s TM the honourable Johnny Tang and fellow Nike team mate, Boss. Johnny’s explanation for the backside shuvit lateflip goes quite a bit more in depth than Boss’ frontside shuvit lateflip, but both will no doubt enlighten you to the ways of this epic shuvit variation. Enjoy.

Dork Trick Tips 3 Shuvit Late Flips

Check back soon for an interview with Johnny Tang, and also coming soon is an interview with one of the original riders for Chocolate Skateboards. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s not Shamil, Gabriel or Daniel…keep guessin’ fool!

Johnny and Tommy flip out

FLY MONDAYS MUHFUGGAH! Double dose of kick flippage this week courtesy of Johnny Tang and Tommy Zhao. Tommy’s a filmer for FLY and Nike SB China and has some pretty gnarly footage linked to his site Skate WHABOS. Unfortunately the tyrannical Chinese Firewall is currently blocking his site, so check his Vimeo as well.

Joshi Cowan Uptown Waterloo

Joshi Cowan in Uptown Waterloo at the new plaza. So far the police and security guards don’t mind if you skate here…cross your fingers . It’s lit, and on friday nights you can hear a cover band across the street doing Michael Jackson covers. Amazing.

Located in the Zona Sul of Rio de Janiero, this gap sees very few visitors due to the chunky nature of the landing….and the takeoff….actually, pretty much everything about this gap is complete shite. Ademar Lucas aka Luquinhas and the homies from neighbourhood give it a go.

The Santo Amaro Gap

Luquinhas is killing it nowadays, he was recently touring around the Brasil with Marcelo D2 and designer Felipe Motta filming for a Brazilian MTV show called Aparelhagem

Damn son! I’ve had 7 Dork Trick Tips just sitting around so it’s time to start unleashing them on the world. Be careful doing pressure flips in public, you may be shunned for life by your friends and family.
