A sample of the Santa Cruz squad takes on the spots you know and a few cuts in NYC. Get hyped on every raw make, outtake and second angle of Braun, Fabi, Gartland, McCoy, Knibbs and Asta.

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.

Taking his softies to the streets, Knibbs plays tour guide through the City we LOVE. Whether it’s China Banks, Union Square, Twin Peaks or just the push from BART, every spot speaks to the history and culture of SF skating. Nothing beats a day bombing in our beautiful home.

Maurio solidifies his status as a one-man demo force tearing up the parks and cities on his first trip to Oz. With kickflips so tight they might as well be vacuum sealed, it’s no wonder he got his own board.

Everyone’s favorite annual award ceremony is back to celebrate the year’s best breakthroughs and bunts. If you can’t make SOTY, might as well hope for a T-Eddy. See the list and guess who’ll get pissed.

Santa Cruz is letting you put your own colorized spin on some iconic graphics with a set of black-and-white reissues. Throw some neon colors on a Roskopp or tag your name on a Salba. Don’t be afraid to color outside the lines. 

Santa Cruz’s newest pro Maurio McCoy puts down some clean frontside tricks after his VX deck takes a dip at a scenic seaside spot. No water-logged soggy pop!  

The skaters of Seacliff, California, finally have a park of their own thanks to Santa Cruz and Dreamland Skateparks. Nora, Eman, Braun and a bunch of the NHS family went down for the opening. Peep the pics to check the new 'crete.

Celebrating 15 years on Santa Cruz, Emanuel Guzman and artist Jimbo Phillips discuss their history and process creating the Dining with the Dead graphic. Some vintage Eman clips spice up the cut.
