On Sunday, Brazilian dark horse Kelvin Heofler stacked up points in the Street Best Session above all the rest and earned $25K for his efforts. He was followed by Alec Majerus in second and Louie Lopez in third.

My First Cruiser Part
Le Petit Jc is a personal project and a movie in progress about life, art and cruising. So far, it’s taken Jean-Charles Vigna two years to travel from New-York to Buenos Aires by himself. He choose to ride a cruiser, as it’s easy to travel with. This is his first cruiser part and he gives thanks to skateboarding. Skateboarding is a journey on many levels.
Modern Skateism
For most of the Jews in Israel, Yom Kippur is the most solemn religious fast of the Jewish year. There are many “Don’t” customs regarding this day such as – don’t eat, don’t turn on electricity… don’t drive, etc. For 24 hours you will not see a single car in many parts of the country. This very unique day transforms Israel into a huge playground for any kind of transportation without an engine – especially a skateboard. Just try to imagine a big metropolis without buses cars, trucks or trains. Huge spans of roadway and freeways, free of vehicular traffic, waiting to be skated upon.
Filmmaker Amit Schwachter captures some of these rare moments with his good friend and skater Tamuz Rachman and this short film is the result.
