Here’s an interesting one I spotted over on Flat Matters! It sounds like Mark Webb is about to go under for some knee surgery, but before he went he made his way out to France to spend some time with JC Pieri. While he was there, they got a flatland session in that ended up being pretty damn productive. Take a peek at a side of Mark I don’t think any of us have seen before.

The Birth of Soulparks
If you follow Ruben Alcantara on Instagram, this news might not be a huge surprise because he is constantly posting up photos of cement parks that are being constructed. Now, it might have seemed that he was just a really big fan of the construction process, but there’s more to the story than that. Ruben and his friend and skateboarder, Aitor Veguillas, have started a skatepark design and construction company called Soulparks. Between the examples from their work they already have done and Ruben’s knowledge of proper cement waves, this can only mean that this is only going to lead to some incredible park. Check out their website for more info! I REALLY wish I had a huge sum of money and land to have them do a park for me right now… Anyone want to donate? haha

Markit “Zero” Promo
When you have a crew like Markit does filming for a DVD project like “Markit Zero”, you’re bound to end up with some “leftover” footage that just didn’t quite make the cut! Check out 8 minutes of footage that wasn’t quite what they were looking for from Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Christian Rigal, Geoff Slattery, Mike Jonas, Connor Lodes, Ronnie Napolitan and Rob Wise! All I know is the final video turned out aboslutely INSANE. Enjoy!
“This is a collection of footage that got pushed out of MARKIT ZERO for one reason or another. All of these clips were meant to go in the video at some point, but with a talented crew and a ton of trips we ended up with an abundance of extra clips that needed a home. So sit back and enjoy this two song edit featuring the whole MARKIT crew and get excited for MARKIT ZERO!

X-Games Set To Return To 2 Events A Year
After a huge expansion in 2013, adding locations like Brazil, Spain and Germany to their locations, X-Games have announced that they will be scaling back in 2014 and returning to their 2 stop format; one in Austin, Texas for the summer and the other in Aspen, Colorado for the winter. This is some what surprising news, but based on the economics and logistics of making the global X-Games work, it’s not shocking. You can read all about why they have made the decision to scale back Right Here. Maybe they should have brought dirt back sooner and this wouldn’t have happened…
