Taylor in Italy

Taylor Nawrocki and his girlfriend Cristina are spending the summer in Italy. She got an internship with Abercrombie in Milan. He decided to go with her. From what I've heard they are having the time of their lives. Taylor has hooked up with a bunch of skaters and has been shredding daily. Below is an edit he made of himself and some of the locals... look for another edit soon.

STREET CANOE x Joe and Dan

My friend Jay Croft has a really great skateboarding website called Street Canoe. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. Jay lives in Chicago but spent most of his life on this planet in North Eastern Ohio. He works for Vans now, travels constantly and shreds! Jay just posted an interview with Columbus skaters Joe and Dan Charlton...Joe made an edit of Dan skating specifically for Street Canoe. At a minute long the video is pretty sick. You might be surprised by the last trick at convention center. Anyway go to the website and check it out.
