Torey Pudwill: Back on the Business

After being out for a while, Torey decided to rejoin the legendary company for a three-years endorsement, deal that support the brand on these more than competitive times. In economic terms, this commitment provides the chance to dealers, retailers and even teammate athletes to get better incomes, having in mind that Pudwill is know a worldwide famous figure. T-Pudds, recognized for several skate magazines as the skater of the year, is now back on his former shoes company, the one that sponsored him for more that 10 years. Torey is pure energy, and maybe one of the most charismatic skaters out there. This fact that was definitely proved through the development of this year's Street leage, where not only competed as rider but also as a host, interviewing and jocking with the pros.

More than a profitable deal, as the very same Pudwill announced, this is more like a back to the roots and way to stabilize the company as well as his own carrer. According to Torey “I’m happy to be a part of a company I grew up skating for. It’s my roots, and now I’m motivated and dedicated to skate harder than ever !” In relation to that, there's only one we thing to ask about, it is possible to skate harder than he is doing now? It seems that the miracle boy of skateboarding is decided to take it to the limits once again.

The list his recent accomplishments  includes: 1st Place Tampa Pro 2012, Street Skater of the Year, TransWorld Skateboarding 2011, 1st Place – Tampa Pro, Best Trick – 2011, 3rd Place – Tampa Pro – 2011, 5th Place – Street League, Seattle – 2011. As we can already see, Torey is an active skater that still has a lot do in the business and at the sport progession as well. Go Pudds!

Skate Spots: The DC Embassy

After creating the biggest skateramp under the supervision of the living leyend Danny Way, and constructing the first and largest Skate Plaza, the DC Shoes company did it again, and provided to the European riders one of the cleanest skate training facilities, The DC Embassy. This"Embassy" is located on Barcelona, and it has been visited by riders from all over the globe. Bacerlona is considered as the "Meca" of the sport, so for that reason, the international shoes company decided to invade the country and settle down for once on the old continent. The outcomes of this facility can be already seen, in fact some of the finalist of the nowadays popular Street League were strictly trained on this park.

Bastien Salabanzi, one of the biggest European skateboarders out there, is part of the selection of riders that represents the brand on Barcelona and at rest of the continent as well. Salabanzi trains at the Embassy as much as he could, and the results are visible to all the skateboarding community. This fact let us think in one aspect that may be affecting skaters from the rest of the world, especially ones who belong to poorer regions. The question is, does these kind of facilities, such as the "DC Embassy", improves directly the level of pro skaters? The answer is definitely yes. For this reason, "embassies" must be constructed in different parts of the world, making the progression of the sport a little bit more fair and democratic.

These are the facilities, the dream of any skater, the pleasure of just a little group, am I right?

Check out the latest video of the Embassy, with their special guests, the Razis brothers, Enjoy!

Pic of the Day: Skating on the Roof

Hi there Ridetimers, for today we have prepared a compilation of a serie of black&white pictures that represents how high can skateboarders take a ride. Skateboarding on concrete seems not to be enough for these riders, for that reason they decide to take it to the next level, which is "roof skating". From clasical American churches to the most innovative and post-modernist  architectural structures, skating has been taken to levels that haven't seen before. Enjoy!

Riding over a church seems to be fun for this rider, as you can see ramps can be found at the weirdest places.

Natural quater pipe? Yes, indeed the architect was probably thinking on it

A skatepark on a roof, rough ride though.

Pics: Worst Skate Spots Ever

Throughout all my personal experience as an skateboarder, I have seen lots of horrible skateboarding spots. Anyway, the ones that you are about to presence go beyond the limits, getting into useless boxes that look incredible bad, and don't work at all. Though these ramps don't provide their function propperly, they have won a space on RideTime! as the worst skateboarding spots ever. Take a look and make your own opinion.

quite perfect for boardslides? come on guys, what is this? looks like a funbox ramp stair set. Weird.

A masterpiece of skateboarding engineering, designed for anti-gravitational routines

Prepared for a bail? No way dude, this is the best transfer I've ever seen!

No words, anyway it is quite rideable.
