some Paulo for your weekend

Exile put together a compilation of leftover footage of Paulo Prietto that was not used in their most recent team skimboarding DVD, Stimulus which is available here at the Shack. If you've yet to see the movie, you need to—it's hands down one of the best skim movies ever. And if you wanna just check out some solid leftover footage, well peep the below clips of Paulo that weren't good enough for the movie (should give you a judge of just how filthy good the guy is).

Nike 6.0 and the NBA Finals?

If you were watching game 4 of the NBA Finals the other night you would've been amazed to see Nike drop the below commercial of their 6.0 and SB team riders.

Greg Lutzka takes Maloof NYC and $160Gs

The Maloof Money Cup hit NYC this past weekend and it was insanity. Greg Lutzka ended up taking the cake against Dennis Busenitz in the finals, with the grand prize being $160Gs (the richest first place prize in the game)!

In case you're unaware, the Maloof Money Cup is one of the world's top amateur and professional skate events, offering the largest prize purses and biggest stages for the world's top skaters to battle it out in head-to-head bracketed format. Below are the match-ups for the final rounds.

As always, TransWorld SKATEboarding dropped the best coverage. Above is the finals video (how are those combos Lutzka was dropping?) and you can check out the final day photos here and the 5 Trick Fix from the finals here.

Petey's in our window

Meet Ronnie Kessner

Above is a clip from Woodward Skatepark of Surf Shack South's top skate team rider Ronnie Kessner. Ronnie's had an incredible start to 2011, and here's a few of the results that are showing he's one of the best young skaters in New Jersey.

Valentines Day Massacre: 1st place
King of the Bridge: 1st place

Philly Am: 8th place (sponsored division)

Ronnie spends his summers over in Beach Haven on his parents' boat, which means he's hanging out at the Shack South daily. Look for more big things to come from Ronnie this year (and in the years to come). And here's Ronnie's run at this year's Philly Am below.
