NYJAH HUSTON RISE & SHINE BEHIND THE SCENES #4 “NYJAH GOES TO HOLLYWOOD”

ADAM — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:10:51 +0000

Nyjah’s RISE & SHINE part was a long time coming and plenty of blood, sweat and tears were poured into the final product. This, the fourth and last in a four-part series of behind the scenes extras, gives a behind the scenes look into Nyjah’s mind-blowing annihilation of the infamous Hollywood High rail. Back-to-back 270 backside lipslide and kickflip backside lipslide would be nutty on a skatepark flatbar. Achieving such at Hollywood High at night, with the boys in blue on the prowl, is as ridiculous as it gets. Download the full part HERE.

NYJAH HUSTON RISE & SHINE BEHIND THE SCENES #2

ADAM — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:38:03 +0000

Nyjah’s RISE & SHINE part was a long time coming and plenty of blood, sweat and tears were poured into the final product. This, the second in a four-part series of behind the scenes extras gives a behind the scenes look and Nyjah’s account of how the 24-stair smith went down. I, for one, can’t imagine how it feels to sack a rail while still twelve stairs up. Check out Nyjah manning up and handling business after one of the nuttiest slams ever.

NYJAH HUSTON RISE & SHINE BEHIND THE SCENES #1

ADAM — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 01:37:01 +0000

Nyjah’s RISE & SHINE part was a long time coming and plenty of blood, sweat and tears were poured into the final product. This, the first in a four-part series of behind the scenes extras, details Nyjah’s struggle in Costa Rica with a long, crusty seven-flat-seven handrail. As if the lengthy rail and janky landing area weren’t enough to contend with, Nyjah’s presence drew a massive crowd of onlookers. Whether or not they had anything to do with the cringe-inducing sack is anybody’s guess. Regardless, the nollie crooks went down. Download the full part HERE.

NYJAH’S TWS BUYER’S GUIDE COVER + HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS

ADAM — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:56:38 +0000

Whoa. Somehow, it’s almost gnarlier in photo form. Nyjah is gracing the cover of Transworld’s 2012 Buyer’s Guide in quite impressive form. I can’t remember the last time I smithed 2.4 stairs, let alone ten times that many. If you haven’t seen Nyjah’s RISE & SHINE part yet, do yourself a favor and treat yourself with an early present. Download it HERE.

While we’re on the subject of the TWS Buyer’s Guide and gift ideas, here’s a few for your rad Dad, best bud or yourself…
As rare as skateable pole jams are, you’d be a fool not to grab one of our DROP SPOT Pole Jams. They’re strong, portable and fun as hell.
If you’re hitting the town in your ratty old skate shoes, it’s time to step up your game with Element’s Emerald Footwear collection. They’re guaranteed to stink less than your skate kicks and attract 2000% more ladies.

A Travel Well cruiser board is just the tool for a quick run to the liquor store or taco shack. If you catch an urge to shred along the way, they’re more than capable of enduring whatever you can throw at it, as proven by Tim Tim’s Berrics Bangin! clip.

“RISE & SHINE” NYJAH HUSTON PREMIERES AND COVERAGE

ADAM — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:50:06 +0000

This was a week chock full of premieres, events and buzz surrounding Nyjah’s new RISE & SHINE part. We kicked off with a private screening at Element’s headquarters.

The day after the screening at our Irvine headquarters, a viewing was held at The Berrics in Los Angeles, California.

A day later, another private RISE & SHINE showing was held at Transworld‘s skatepark in Carlsbad, CA. After a heated and sweaty session, fires were re-lit after watching the vid.

The next evening, we celebrated the opening of our new Universal Citywalk store with a premiere. The crowd was massive and kids were hyped.

To correspond with the release of RISE & SHINE, Thrasher posted a Hall of Meat clip featuring one of the nastiest slams Nyjah endured during the filming for RISE & SHINE. It’s never good when you bounce on concrete. FYI: Nyjah got up and got the back smith.

Strange Notes posted a vid of Nyjah warming up at his hometown park in Costa Mesa, CA before heading out to film for RISE & SHINE. I wish I warmed up like that.

Phew. Helluva week and helluva video part. Get yours HERE. Get stoked and go get some.

ADAM — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 01:52:15 +0000

The Berrics tagged along with Nyjah and the Element crew on his final night of filming for his upcoming RISE AND SHINE video part. It’s a rad insight into the struggles involved in filming a part of such high magnitude. Believe it or not, Nyjah doesn’t land bolts every time. Street urchins trying to poach with camera phones almost got the best of him, but Nyjah prevailed in the end. Mark your calendars, RISE AND SHINE premiers on 11-11-11.

The Berrics‘ latest First Try Fridays video features Levi Brown. Filmed at the Explore the Berrics Westchester park, Levi is tasked with a giant frontside flip. True to style, Levi accomplished his mission with style and height.

Atop his new Travel Well cruiser board, Chad Tim Tim annihilated the Berrics park in this Bangin’ vid. Spy the Drop Spot pole jam that Chad brought with him. Leave it to Tim Tim to shred a cruiser harder than most of will ever shred on a traditional setup.

To accompany Tim Tim’s Berrics Bangin‘ video, a photo feature documenting the process behind the video was posted on the Berrics site. Props to Yoon Sul the work behind the lens.
