Ian McGraw and Paul Young just brought the Traffic Reports back with a vengeance. This one’s got a ton of great spots, a few surprises, and appearances from everyone on the team. Don’t miss it.

After a rousing premiere last Saturday in Greenpoint, critics all agree that Paul Coot’s VX video, Hit, is the sleeper hit of the season. Features parts from Ryan Mettz, Jake Keenan, Nik Stain, and the most Max Palmer footage we’ve seen in quite a while. 

In related VX news, our friend Johnny De Guzman also dropped a heater of a VX video entitled Sigh with a decent chunk of Jovi (!) footage. We love to see it.

New from Heckride this week: Nick Michel on Las Vegas, Lotties, bluntslides, and more; and Rob Collins’ selections from his archive, include Aaron Herrington, Kevin Coakley, and Japhey Dow.

Polaroid aficionado Raymond Molinar is Magenta’s latest guest artist.

Riley Pavey and Rowan Davis, two standouts from the rising generation of Australian skateboarders, put out a shared part this week. Big fan of this scene.

Fresh off COLT, Aaron Christopher’s BLU premieres this weekend in Indianapolis. DVDs for sale at the premiere. This crew has done a good job of building a scene in what most people think of as a non-destination.
