Reel Life is back!
Following on from the success of last year's event we are pleased to announce that 'Reel Life' will be back again this year. This year's event will be in Paris, one of Europe's finest cities.
Reel Life is an exciting concept which started in 2009 when the first event was held in London. Reel Life changed the face of Streetboard contests forever and became one of the biggest events of the year.
The rules are simple. Put together a team of up to 3 riders; Spend
24 hours in the city; Film and edit a video and present it at the premier
party.
That's right, it means for the best results you will need to skate your
backsides off for a full 24 hours.
Videos are judged not only on the standard of riding, but also on the
quality and creativity of your production.
So, go get your crew together for one of the biggest events of 2010.
We anticipate a bigger event this year with teams from all over Europe,
already confirmed are teams representing 'Day One', 'The True Skool',
'Flipside', 'Addicted' and the return of last years winners 'Anti Ductil'.
We are very excited about this year's event, and would love all of you
to be involved. If your are interested or would like to know any further
info about the event please contact dayonebrand@mac.com
More details can be found at the official Reel Life website - www.dayonebrand.com/reellife

New Sergi Nicolas Video!
Sergi Nicolas has the reputation of being possibly the most 'bankable' Streetboarder out there, watch an event he's in or a video section of his and you know it's going to be good. Once again Sergi steps up and we are brought this video from a session of his at the Brandery Skate Park in Barcelona. Sick park, and sick riding as always!

New Streetboard Retailer!
Once again we come to you with news of another new Streetboard retailer - this time in Leicestershire in the shape of our friends at Black and White Boardstores. They have all the latest Streetboards on offer, and in somewhat of a rarity in retailers - they are also selling spare parts which is a big bonus. Edd from the store is a Streetboarder himself and has sponsored Adam from Team Flipside a few years ago, so they are well worth supporting. Black and White Boardstores have also been added to our Retailers Page.
