The Lakai team recently went on a tour through Germany, Switzerland and France called Voltage. And guess what? They brought along some cameras, and those cameras do process called "recording". Then there's this other process called editing, and that's exactly what they're in the process of right now.

Below is a teaser of the 25 minute video that documents the tour and will be released on December 6 over at www.lakai.com. It's kind of an early holiday present.

So check out: Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, Guy Mariano, Marc Johnson, Brandon Biebel, Sean Malto, Vincent Alvarez, Riley Hawk, Mike Mo, Jesus Fernandez, Sean Brady, Danie Espinoza, Cairo Foster, J.B. Gillet, NIck Jensen and Raven Tershy:

Italian video extraordinaire Feds, who's probably watching the boring-ass World Cup right now made a little video of Lakai's recent stop on the Zumiez Couch Tour, Salt Lake City, UT. Check out Rick Howard, Mike Carroll, Brandon Biebel and more kill it in a city by a lake of salt. Speaking of saltiness, I'm just a little salty about this World Cup thing just because my local bar ran out of beer because of all the British people watching all this damn soccer.

Anyway, here's the video:

Editor's note: If you didn't already know how big Brian Anderson is look at him dwarf Frank Grewer in the photo above.

On a not-so-regular basis Fourstar clothing releases little videos on their website to show their styley clothes in action. Their latest release is from their Gang of Fourstar European trip a few months back. It was supposed to be released on Monday, but because of overwhelming demand, the video crashed, I think that's what you call it when it doesn't play. I don't know, I'm not a computer guy. It had something to with bandwidth, and traffic, and I think somehow Bill Gates was involved. Anyway, because of technical difficulties most of the world saw it yesterday, or as I like to call it "Tuesday."

To get the proper avionce I sat down "Tuesday" with a nice frosty Stella and a bowl pop corn. Right off the bat I found out my Stella was the only frostyness that was going to be in attendance. Fourstar boss, Frosty himself, aka Eric Koston, couldn't make the trip because of a little thing called child birth. His wife Ashlee gave birth to their first mini-Koston a few months ago, and guess what? Baby Frost makes an appearance at the very beginning of the video, which was a nice little surprise.

Minus Koston, the Fourstar team is still killer with names like: Brian Anderson, The Gonz, Guy Mariano, Mike Carroll, Tyler Bledsoe, Rick Howard and the soon to be S.O.T.Y., Sean Malto. Oh, did I speak too soon? He did destroy 2009.

The video was aesthetically pleasing as usual. Fourstar has a secret editing weapon known as Aaron Meza, and as usual he killed it. The skating was on point, and for all you skate fashionistas out their, you get to see different ways of combing the new Fourstar threads. I'd have to say the gnarliest part of the video is Brian Anderson's fall. It can't be described just watch the video, click here to check it out.

Pat O'Dell just dropped the second to last installment of the Beauty And The Beast Epicly Later'd series. A few very important things were learned:

1. Rick McCrank is more Canadian than Rick Howard.
2. A night of wizard staffs does not make for a good demo the next day.
3. If you give a bunch of pro skateboarders rules for attending your party, you're in for one.
4. If you attend a party in your tiny hometown, on a tiny island in Canada, and tell a skate crew like the Anti Hero/Girl
collab that all the girls on the island are spoken for. You are definitely in for one.
5. If you have a giant blow up Coors beer can in your house, and you throw a party, keep an eye on the thing.

The Canadian terror known as Rick took down the bar terror known as The Gav. That's right, as expected Rick Howard beat ex-pro skater and now corpo man, Tim Gavin, in a game of S.K.A.T.E at the "Battle at the Crailerrics" over on Crailtap. Click here to check it.
