We also recently came across a neat little skate channel called The Curb Files. You should definitely check out their channel if you are interested in some nice tutorials that will get you grinding on curbs and pissing off your neighbors no time!

Some people have asked why we don't feature more surf videos in our playlists. Well, we heard you and added a video with Joel Paxton in this playlist to tide you over for now. We have definitely been aiming to do more surf themed playlists, so stay tuned...
