Diamond Footwear Hits France and the UK in New European Tour Video

The European tour is a time-honored tradition in skateboarding. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience different cultures while meeting the fans that live abroad. Part summer vacation and part missionary trip, the European tour has always been a win-win situation for everyone involved. Diamond Footwear’s latest adventure through France and the UK is no exception. Torey Pudwill, Brandon Biebel, Boo Johnson, and Jamie Foy look like they had a great time experiencing all that these country have to offer in this recap video.

One person who you won’t be seeing in this video is Nick Tucker. He abruptly severed ties with Diamond last month shortly after his pro shoe was released. While, according to his Instagram post, Tucker’s split with Diamond was amicable; the timing of his departure is interesting to say the least.

We’re definitely curious to see if he will be announced as being a part of another shoe brand sometime soon.

Thunder Trucks Welcomes Hermann Stene in their New Part

Watch Hermann Stene’s insane tricks in this Thunder Trucks’ welcome video now playing at the Thrasher Magazine Channels.

This Norwegian skater started skating at the age of eight and became a part of the Norwegian National Skateboarding Team in 2018.

Stene, now almost 30, has been showing his skills for close to 15 years now, and there is no better way to show off his skills with this beautifully filmed video.

Amazingly, Stene has never gone pro, whether that is bad luck or age bias, there is no denying the talent.

Oh and watch out at 1:33 for one of the sweetest frontside kickflips you’ll see this year.
