If you’ve been hidden under a rock or stuck up a mountain for the last few weeks then I’ll allow you to get away with the fact that you don’t know about our latest Lomography competition. If this isn’t the case, then God help you. Well, not really but it’s still something that you should [...]
It’s been an interesting month so far in world news and the sad fact is that we have to report another death. The skiing world was in mourning today as news broke of Jeret Peterson‘s death.

Skateboarding is a universal sport. We sometimes forget how widely popular a sport can be and skateboarding is one of the few sports that spans the globe in popularity, so it’s great to see that something like Skateistan isn’t missed.
