Bad Shit: Fired Up
Great song from Bad Shit called Fired Up.
Tony Trujillo sings and plays bass. Trixie plays drums and screams a little, and Jake Phelps plays guitar.
4 am, burning bright
Me and Stranger, out all night
Bomb Delores in the rain
Sleeping on a beach in Spain
Want it taste what it's about
Hear it smell it something something
Fired Up
Pour it up, need more speed
Pointech wheels all i need
Ride with style to the store
It's OK I'll get more more
Want it taste what it's about
Hear it smell it the flame you cannot doubt
Fired Up

"Skateboarding 101 - The Art Part"
by Alyx Gorman
The Vine, Australia
The first thing you need to know about skateboarding is that it is not meant to be consumed in the moment. Unlike your typical sport, the most transcendent aspects of skate do not emerge from a second of play watched in person or broadcast live. The best way to appreciate virtuosity is not at a park, or on a street corner; it is in your living room.
As much a performance as a sport, skateboarding is perfect for video. Truly great skate films, the kind watched repeatedly and obsessively by fans of the genre from Brisbane to Vladivostok, come together over weeks of skating, months of travel and hours editing. People will wait years for releases from their favourite teams, and then ponder the minutia of every trick and stack.
