Chris Haslam's Most Insane Manuals At The Berrics

Chris Haslam competed in The Berrics' modular manual contest 2Up not once, but twice. In 2018, he became our reigning wheelie god—here's how he did it.

Ancient Stone to Public Skatespot with Torey Pudwill & Crew | LARVIKITE LINES

When the opportunity arose to visit Lundhs Real Stone quarry and create a permanent Larvikite skatepark for the town’s skate scene, Torey Pudwill, Chris Haslam and Angelo Caro flew in to link up with local pro Deedz and session the 300 million-year-old terrain in situ – before bringing it all down from the mountain quarry to create a permanent skate space in Larvik itself.

Marvel at the wonder of nature, the ingenuity of humanity and the radness of skateboarding in Larvikite Lines above. If you're ever in Larvik, be sure to hit up their new skate spot courtesy of Didrik Galasso and Lundhs Real Stone.

Best Of Jason Hernandez’s First 20 Tapes at TWS

In 2001 Greg Hunt and Jon Holland’s Sight Unseen premiered as one of Transworld’s most memorable videos. The following year Greg Hunt left Transworld to work for DC and his shoes were filled by Ewan Bowman who went on to make In Bloom and Free your Mind with Jon Holland. In 2003 Ewan recommended to Jon Holland to hire a young 22 year old videographer from LA’s San Gabriel Valley by the name of Jason Hernandez. The following year Ewan left TWS leaving Jon Holland and Jason Hernandez to continue the TWS video legacy. Together they produced and created six full length videos from 2003-2008 (Free Your Mind, Are You Alright, Subtleties, First Love, A Time to Shine, Let’s Do This).

This video is a compilation of Jason’s first 20 mini DV tapes working at Transworld Skateboarding. You'll recognize some footage from Free Your Mind as well as Emerica's This is Skateboarding, Foundation's That’s Life, Zero's New Blood and more. We'll continue to release a couple tapes at a time every other week until we have gone through all of Jason’s 500+ tapes during his tenure at TWS. Stay tuned and enjoy as we greatly appreciate his Transworld Vault series.

Chris Haslam's "Sterling Golden" Part

Haslam has always owned his own wavelength, making the unbelievable somehow possible. His sorcery continues with this new mind-bending video part.

The Man, the Myth, the Legendary Skateboarder Gou Miyagi | 奇才の日本人スケーター宮城 豪

Gou Miyagi is a genuine skateboarding maverick. His unique vision and the advent of the internet shot him into the big leagues of skateboarding stardom. However, the ubiquitous Gou Miyagi's overleaping fame belied the fact that he is an intensely private person. Beyond his video output and surrealist social media feed, little is known about one of the few people in skateboarding's history to change it permanently. This is Gou Miyagi, as close as you are ever likely to get.

Chris Haslam - WeekENDER

The 2015 edition of 2Up—our nerve-wracking manual contest—was in some ways more demented and inventive than the previous year. Witnessing Chris Haslam's perfectly balanced, yet imbalanced, final manual was a nail-biter. Here's the raw footage.

An unforgettable skate trip to Everest | Way to Everest Ep3

The team leave Lhasa to skate the crazy spots which lie around the foothills of the Himalayas - five-kink hubbas, anyone?
Lhasa had given us some breathing space – literally – to acclimatise to the oxygen deprivation which is a continuous struggle when skating at altitude: just ask the skaters of Bolivia!

However, our mission was to hit some of the pristine architecture which can be found in the small chain of towns that run up to the incomparable Mount Everest itself. Much of the architectural design here favours smooth, hard surfaces because the biting cold and dense snow are a bigger concern than rainfall at this height.

Altitude sickness | Skating the Himalayas in "The Way to Everest" Ep2

Chris Haslam, Mario Wirnsberger and Peter Molec head up as Madars Apse goes down in episode 2 of ‘The Way To Everest’.
Our journey from Chengdu to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, was a visual delight. The Himalayas basked in the most beautiful weather. Upon arrival in Lhasa, we all noticed the thin air. You can buy cans of compressed oxygen everywhere, but they slow your acclimatisation so we forewent them because we intended to skate.
