Malto Skates, Detroys And Makes The News

By: Tom Morin

Sean Malto is one of the best young skateboarders in the world. The 20-year-old Kansas City destroyer has been in the lime light for a few years now, and has been jet-setting around the world from skate spot to skate spot filming for videos such as the much anticipated Chocolate Video.

That said, there's this place in Florida called West Palm Beach and they just built a "multi-million dollar waterfront project." It's pretty much a park along the water with benches and ledges everywhere. Translation; a perfect place to skate, or if you will a skate spot.

Now, back to Mr. Malto. If you notice I called him a destroyer in the first paragraph because he, like the famous skate saying states, skates and destroys. Well, Malto and his truck sponsor found out about this new park down Florida and decided to film a web video there. Since Thunder is a truck company they want to showcase in their videos what their product is built to do; grind. Malto showed up to this new "waterfront project" and killed it as usual, and then Thunder posted the video on their site.

Well, apparently the residents of West Palm Beach don't like the fact that their new park is being used to SKATE AND DESTROY, and one of the local broadcast news channels decided to do a piece on the situation, and what video evidence did they use? You guessed it, Sean Malto in Thunder video representing in his KC Chiefs jersey. The best part is when he looks into the camera and says, "You want to make sure you get your grind on."

After you check out the news story, you can watch the actual Thunder video below:

Street League 2012: Nyjah Huston Wins Kansas City... Again

Street League's instant scoring allowed for the possibility of pressure-packed moments, but very few times did the skateboarders deliver

The 2012 Street League season kicked off in Kansas City this past weekend as it did last year-- with skateboard technician Nyjah Huston taking home $150,000. Huston's ability to land difficult and technical tricks consistently makes him almost unbeatable in the current Street League format.

"It was a hard one tonight, that's for sure!" said Nyjah. "I definitely had to work for it. I love the challenge, though, and to skate with these guys is great."

Street League..
