UPDATE: Preview Spike Jonze & Beastie Boys Book & Film
Following up on last year’s live stage performance, Spike Jonze and the Beastie Boys are dropping a photo book via Rizzoli on March 17. This 256 page hardcover release chronicles a defining time in the trio’s saga as seen through Jonze’s lens starting from when these cultural icons met in Los Angeles in 1993. Rather than recapping the well-known band imagery captured by the “Sabotage” director, Beastie Boys focuses on candid, behind-the-scene shots that tell their story from a more personal perspective. The book will retail for $55, and is clearly a must-have for collectors and fans.
UPDATE 03.12.20: This morning, Apple TV released the extended trailer for the Spike Jonze-produced Beastie Boys Story documentary that will coincide with the book. Check the trailer above. The film will be in Imax theaters on April 2, and on Apple TV+ on April 24.

At 63 years old, Judi Oyama continues to push the limits and break barriers in the world of skateboarding while preserving its rich history for future generations to enjoy.
She started skateboarding when she was 13. To this day, she still takes part in slalom competitions and is even a member of the US Slalom Skateboarding team.
I’ve been skateboarding for over 50 years, and I want to see how long I can keep going.
As a pioneer of the sport, Judi was there for the inception of Independent Trucks and helped recruit many notable names to the Santa Cruz Skateboards team.

Solo Skate Mag Releases Matheus Du Bronks “Labirinto” Part
Matheus Du Bronks delivered an impressive part in “Labirinto”, an independent full-length video project by Bruno Rocha.
Filmed for almost 5 years and in 8 countries, “Labirinto” also features Akira Utida, André Saide, Bruno Prado, Claudio Junio, Felipe De Carvalho, Gustavo Dos Anjos, Leonardo Favaro, Lucas Marques, Mauricio Carvalho/Patrick Vidal, Simone Terzi, and Tallys Junior.
The rest of the parts will be released on various skateboard channels.
Here’s what Bruno says about the video:
“More than a traditional full-length skate video the idea was to bring up moments of questioning and reflection about themes from existentialism to racism, through a collection of audio, animations, texts, and also some easter eggs hidden in the course of the video. The idea appeared in my mind in 2016 while I was studying the myth of ”Cretan Labyrinth”, that summed up tells the story about a labyrinth created in order to hide the negative side effect/s of King Minos greediness/greed. By applying the ideology of the myth to our current times, I still see ourselves trapped in a Labyrinth that keeps hiding from us the greed of this capitalistic world around us, leaving us lost in endless paths and taking us away from harmony, equality and love towards the other.”
