Video of the Week: Bobby Worrest - Luxury and Loudness

Bobby Worrest comes out with a new part that is full of the expected smoothness and grace. Always dropping quality footage, Bobby mesmerizes us with his fluid switch tricks and clever lines. So far, Bobby's been killing it this year and I'd say is in good contention for SOTY at this rate. There's something about his switch back noseblunt that never gets old...

In other skate news:
Tiago Lemos is introduced to Silver Trucks with a technical trip of ripping footage. I've been a fan since he got on BLVD and he's been improving since. The first line and the half cab heel around 1:35 are absolutely wonderful.
Nate Greenwood has an exclusive part for The Skateboard Mag and kills it, as I've come to expect
Civic Affair, the video by Jake Kuzyk, is full of Canadian shredding. Just overall awesome skating.
Boo Johnson is given a compilation part from Supra that if I'm not mistaken is "his first full part" since Future Nature. I call it that because if Supra hadn't put out the numerous tour videos over the past 2-3 years, they could've created a full length video with their stacked team, including buttery awesome parts like Boo's. Just saying.
Strange Notes asks: Who The F*** Is Jeremy Tuffli? He answers with an assault on many transitions including an instant classic new move at Burnside.
Yuri Facchini is featured in Blind's Damn Sundays with some pretty heavy clips. Not sure if whether they're all new or not but the couple of minutes are worth anyone's time.
Addie Fridy's new part on the Berrics: What time, When? is a gentle reminder that he is one smooth dude. Plus having nollie shove feebles on lock doesn't hurt.
Chris Colbourn skates North Hollywood Park for Bones Bearings and is soooooooo good.
Lee Dupont's part from The Cinematographer Project was released by Transworld, shedding new light on Washington Street Park in an edit that really builds the energy of a good session.

Random Teams #1: Silver Trucks

Silver Trucks has always had a pretty diverse team. From back in the day to now, there have been plenty of team rider switchups, most notably P-Rod, Nick Tucker, and Felipe Gustavo to Venture, but there are still some original team riders on Silver to this day. Plus, with a few very recent additions to the team like Chad Tim Tim, Matt Bennett, and Ryan Gallant, the crew is shaping up to not only include a bunch of different guys from the industry's standpoint, but to include a really stylish and technical team as well. Silver Trucks sticks out to me as having a "random" team of skaters because there are truck companies like Independent and Venture and Thunder that have way too many riders to count. Then there are the tight-knit distribution companies like Crailtap's Royal and Dwindle's Tensor. Granted there are always exceptions but for the most part those companies make sense as far as the team riders go. Silver has spread its grasp over many distributions' riders and put them together for one of the more precision, technical-oriented teams out there.
Check out the most recent team montage (above) I could find from Silver with a good portion of the dudes that are currently on the team. Just imagine what a full length video from this crew would be like...
