Just had a bit of a chat with Troy from Skateventure: Southeast Asia. Looks like they have had a couple of days off earning some food and keep playing drums and guitar. They get back on the road tomorrow. Troy and Huw have skated over 200km in 23 days, got food poisoning, been put up in a 5* hotel...
Laura Hatwell, our pocket dynamo of distance has gone and decided to move. Quite a bit of a move. In just a few weeks she will be boarding a plane and heading south to New Zealand. I’ll let her explain the rest (taken from Hatter’s blog) Initially, I will be living, working and skating in the small and beautiful...
Our man on the ground in the US, Marion has been super busy, and we are proud to introduce the first long distance skateboarding stage race ever to be held. The 184 mile Chief Ladiga Silver Comet Sk8 Challenge 2011 is planned and ready for sign-up! Designed on the same platform as a bicycle stage race like the Tour...

Hopefully we will see more of Marcel on Skatefurther as he travels around Canada in 2011. You can find out more about the event...
Good friends of Skatefurther and country crossing crazys, Paul and Aaron went to Adrenalina. Paul was skating and Aaron was filming. Heres a sneak peek of the upcoming video.

Kurtis will be joined by a few good friends and will be raising money to plant trees. Did you know that it it takes 6 mature trees to offset your...
Waking up in a field with barking dogs we make way on the most horrible pavement known to man painfully getting closer to Bolivia. Stoke is low as the pavement drains our energy and our soul. We question if it is even worth it, but we love bad decisions and push onwards in mental pain. Outside of Puno we...
Almost being seen by airport security the crew decides to make the adult decision and not run across the Cusco International Airport.
