Jordan Trahan mashed together a bunch of clips from his own HPX that he’s accumulated over the past year. And we get a little treat to end off the crazy year of 2025. Peep “Voicemail”, edited by Jordan himself.
It’s been a LONG hiatus for Inside the Skater’s Studio, so Theories of Atlantis is making a comeback with a real doozy. Easily in our top 5 favorite skate videos of all time and clearly one of the very best street-skating videos ever, Eastern Exposure 3 “Underachievers” has been long overdue on the Skater’s Studio. And Ricky Oyola’s part is THE one we all want to hear about. We got Ricky together with another TOA favorite, Paul Zitzer, to dive into the classic part and get some behind the scenes nuggets of how it all came to be. And, as Ricky says, Zitzer’s in it too!
This was filmed literally 5 years ago, right before the world went insane in early 2020. But due to some audio issues during the shoot, it got shelved for years with plans of re-filming. But TOA finally decided it was too good to not put it out and the logistics of having Ricky and Paul Zitzer in the same room together were quite slim. So here it is. Yes, the audio isn’t great, but it’s fine. So sit back and enjoy some stories behind the video that completely changed the game for the east coast of the USA back in 1996.
Adjust your antennae because we’re beaming an all new broadcast down from the Theories Brand satellite. “Remote Viewing” is here showcasing the full team shredding from NYC to LA. Featuring Nyle Lovett, Nick Rainey, Connor Noll, Ryan Alvero, Randy Benko, Maddie Hazlett, John-Nestor Gomez and introducing Shamus McDonough and Levon Conklin.
Loooong time Traffic Skateboards team rider Shaun Williams recently came out of the woodwork with a bangin new full part filmed and edited by John de Perrot titled “Swills”. And Theories of Atlantis were gifted all of the raw footage from the project and wanted to share it with their footy-hungry audience. This edit is filled with rugged & rad spots all around Philly and the surrounding area and it’s cool to see some of the battles and multitude of makes they captured along the way to finishing the part.
Originally released on DVD in December of 2023, TOA has finally made the FULL “Static VI” video available to the public for free. This 6th and final episode in the 25 year-long running Static video series features Brett Weinstein, Jordan Trahan, John Baragwanath, Trevor Thompson, Christian Maalouf, Brian Powderly, Aaron Herrington, Jahmal Williams, Steve Brandi, Kevin Taylor and many, many more.
In order to make keep all TOA video offerings in one home, we are adding the Dial Tone Wheels “Landline” video, originally hosted by Thrasher, to the Youtube channel today. Released back in September 2022, the Landline video features nearly the whole Dial Tone squad with a heavy focus on Rashad Murray, Zander Mitchell, Trevor Thompson and a bang-up full part of Delaware’s Mark Del Negro. Enjoy!
“Observers” is a new video brought about through a collaboration between Push Skate Shop, Theories Brand and Brainstorm Skateboards. The TOA crew made a jaunt down to Asheville, North Carolina this summer to launch a TOA art show with Push Skate Shop as well as a collab deck between Push, Theories Brand and local Asheville brand Brainstorm Skateboards. As a way to honor the collab, Brainstorm chief Eric Hunt filmed a rad new video piece and worked with editor Kerry Webb to bring us “Observers”. Featuring Eric Hunt, Dyshon Whidbee, Griffin Faulkner, Kevin Cordell, Sam Buxton, Kerry Webb and many more, the nearly 9 minute edit showcases the local Asheville scene with a visual nod to the eerie local legend of the Brown Mountain Lights. A mysterious unexplained ghost-light phenomemon occurring regularly in the hills of Brown Mountain, just outside of the Asheville urban center.
It’s been too long since we checked in with a new Traffic Report. But this one is worth the wait. New Traffic rider Ian McGraw, hailing from New Jersey, comes through with his very own report bringing some fast and powerful moves to the small screen and a little shmear of guest clips from nearly the whole Traffic team, including Kevin Coakley, Josh Wilhite, James Sayres, Pat Stiener, Mark Wetzel and Luke Malaney. Enjoy!
In this newest episode of Inside The Skater’s Studio we revisit the BlueprInt Skateboards video “Make Friends With the Colour Blue” with Traffic Skateboards Pro Kevin Coakley and videomaker Dan Magee. This episode is a special treat since Dan Magee is one of our favorite filmmakers in skateboarding and Kevin’s part from MFWTCB was one of the raddest parts put out by the now defunct British brand. You’ll learn about the world’s worst sandwich, shitting in triplicate and some secret McGyver techniques for making your skatespots a bit more skateable. Enjoy!
