I get a lot of Sponsor Me videos from so many kids out there. It’s great to see so many skaters doing what they love and skating so many different obstacles. It’s interesting to see how people skate a certain spot. Sometimes, people skate something you normally would just pass up without even thinking you could skate it. It gets me stoked to see people who ride unique obstacles. Dan Allen is one those people. You can tell he’s very creative by the way he looks at spots and the tricks he does on them. Some of the things that stood out to me in this video were the drop-in on the dumpster, the heelflip manual to backside lipslide on the steps, and the wall ride over the gap at the end. Dan skates fast and rips all types of terrain, which is always good. Thanks for sending in your video, Dan. You just earned yourself a brand new pair of Emerica shoes! —Jeff Henderson

Check out page 122 in the brand-new Issue 24 of The Skateboard Mag for a huge eight-page New Jack am article on Brandon Westgate. It’s full of sick photos and a nice, in-depth interview. I think it’s safe to say "Boy comin’ up!"

In the same issue, it ain’t easy to miss Leo Romero’s two-page RVCA ad and Andrew Reynolds’ backside 360 down 13 in the Crops photo section.
