Santa Cruz keeps the spotlight on the Henry Gartland as he ravages the rail game. Cameos from the whole team and full parts from Jesse Noonan and Justin Sommer show the full force of their operation. 

Jaws, Clive, Cookie, Kirby, Gravette, Gartland, Wallin, Pedro and the Pabich bros careen through the Northwest, smashing spots with the head of the hammer. These sessions will have you shook.  

Racing against the rain, the Indy crew rambles from SF to Seattle. Armed with kitty litter and a blow torch, they battle the elements and deadly rails, emerging with a stack of photos and a few war stories. There's no stoppin' when you're sloshin'. 

Santa Cruz gives a raw look at Henry’s AM Video part that eventually got him a seat on the Scramble.  

Shedding blood straight off the plane, Gartland goes off in Oz, stoking crowds, causing ruckus in the van and ripping some rails. Not bad for a first-timer.

Henry hails from Minnesota, where he found skateboarding as an escape. This is Henry Gartland’s True Grit.

Smoookes new video part premiered last night at Volcom’s HQ. Beer, tunes and weed—all free?! What a time to be alive!

Famous for Arto's back lip over a decade ago, the spot has seen only over-the-rail action in recent years after the kinker was knobbed. The school granted us permission to hack off the skate-stoppers for just one day, and the rest is history. Big ups to everyone who BUSTED, especially Alex Midler and his game-changing kicky back lip. Boom!

The original and greatest raw street contest roared back to life at an undisclosed California kinker last weekend. From Mark Suciu to Jamie Foy and every rail ripper in between, this was one for the history books. And Alex Midler… you’re nuts!
