I was digging through some photos today for a specific shot John Parker wanted for an autograph card for a special event he's doing with Mat Hoffman and some others at the Target House at St. Jude's in Memphis.
I was actually looking for a different photo of John doing a "Nothing" (no-hander, no-footer) I came across this photo from a Dew Tour stop in 2008. Wow. The photo I was looking for was similar, but I actually think this one might be… Continue

Dennis Enarson's part (along with Garrett Reynold's part from the same video) are no doubt going to be nominated for Video Part of the Year at this… Continue

With all these big skate contests going down lately — Maloof Money Cup, X Games, Dew Tour, etc. — you may have been wondering, "Where the heck is Shaun White?"
He's not injured or off living off 2008's glory. He's been held up at a "secret" Red Bull funded halfpipe in the hills of Silverton, CO. A reported $500,000 project (with funds also kicked in from Oakley), the pipe is accessible only by Helicopter or Snowmobile.
