Hallelujah It's Here

By: Tom Morin

What could possibly be the video of the year in 2010, Hallelujah, is set to premier tonight at the 12th annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards at the Avalon in Hollywod, CA. It's a Transworld Media production, hence why it's premiering at the TWS Awards, and was created by John Holland and Chris Ray.

Now, in case you didn't know TWS videos never disappoint, their 2000 release, Modus Operandi, is one of everyone's favorites. It featured the cinematic skills of skate video legend, Ty Evans, along with the skating of three legends in their own right: Marc Johnson, Brian Anderson and Mike Carroll; enough said.

Here we are 10 years later and Transworld is about to drop another mega-video that we may just be talking about for another decade. Hallelujah is going to highlight the skating of a handful of the best youngins' out there: Torey Pudwill, Tyler Bledsoe, Ryan Decenzo, Pete Eldridge and Taylor Bingaman.

In case you didn't know, that's a who's who in current skateboarding. Bledsoe has one of the best styles out their right now, and is always favorite to watch on video. Then there's Pudwill and Decenzo who are both in my top 5 when it comes to the best street skateboarders in the world at the moment, both made the finals at Maloof, with Pudwill wining Best Trick and finishing 3rd overall.

I'll be at the award show tonight, and will without a doubt stick around for the premier. Getting a good feel for a video at a premier is always hit or miss depending on a few factors: the crowd, beverage consumption, girl factor and security that always seems to award fun behavior with an early trip out. Anyway, I'll report back with my feelings on Hallelujah.

Here's a trailer:

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."
