Just a quick find from over at Manual Magazine, well worthy enough of posting up here too. Kids, if you get bored on the rainy days during these holidays (fingers crossed there’s not too many!), here’s a fix. All you need is a copious amount of hours up your sleeve, a pair of scissors, a pile of skate mags, and a digital camera. Sweet!

Here’s a vid we found that looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Tarp Surfing; it’s been around for years, all you need is a few buddies, a little wind, a 50ft tarp and your skateboard. Sweet!

A quick vid of Richie Jackson from across the ditch—if you haven’t seen this guy skate before, you’ll love it. Check some of his lines, ideas, and moustache!
