Puma recently dropped their first ever skateboarding part, "Forever Faster and Push". It is actually Puma Japan that dropped the video part. The skaters in the part are, Kouki Arima, Sora Negishi, Mantaro Tokura, Yonesaka, and Ginpei Saito. This video part was filmed in Tokyo, Japan. Even though the names of the skaters are not well know, the skating in the part is very impressive and technical. It is also nice to see some spots in Japan, rather than the normal California and New York spots. It is weird seeing anyone skating Puma skate shoes. I do not personally think that the Pumas look that great on a skateboard, but that could change.

Zion Effs, a former Santa Cruz rider, has joined the Baker Skateboards Team. The 14-year-old skateboarder from Florida had announced on his Instagram earlier this year that he was ending his long-standing association with Santa Cruz, his previous board sponsor. He also announced on April 16th that he will also be leaving the vans skate team. He does, howevever, still skate for Mob Griptape, Independant Trucks, Bronson Speed, and Spitfire Wheels. Zion is crazy good for his age of 14 years old. Zion's love for skateboarding started when he was just four years old, and since then, he has been honing his skills and pushing himself to be better every day. He has a unique style that sets him apart from other skateboarders, and his dedication to the sport is truly inspiring. Despite his young age, Zion has already made a name for himself in the skateboarding community, and his talent has caught the attention of some of the biggest names in the industry. With his impressive skills and contagious enthusiasm, it's clear that Zion has a bright future ahead of him, and we can't wait to see where his passion for skateboarding takes him next.

Two years back, an 11-year-old skateboarder had requested the Washington City officials to construct a park that could accommodate skateboarding and other wheel-based sports. On Wednesday, he came back to witness the fruition of his request - the concept designs for the 14-acre Washington City Wheel Park, designed to cater to both skaters and cyclists. This park will be located near the upcoming interchange of 3650 South and the Southern Parkway (state Route 7) in Washington Fields.

The only concern expressed regarding the park came from Councilman Craig Coats, who questioned the availability of sufficient funds for the proposed park. To tackle this issue, he suggested building the park in phases. Despite this, Coats was impressed with the project. The park's construction cost is expected to be approximately $10 million, which will be funded through impact fees paid by the city.
