THE HUBBA
The boys at PUSH have whacked up another sick trick contest for you to hurt yourselves over. This time you gotta get your downwards grind on.
"In the third part of our video contest series we are giving you the chance to win a new skateboard of your choice. This time send us video footage of your best trick skating a hubba of your choice. Extra points for skating real street."
You've got a while to do this one. Usual routine - get your clips up on the Facebook page by the 31st of August.
Instead of reposting the amazing photo of Matt Ransom skating just about the only street hubba in the area, I'm going to massage my ego with my own lesser manoeuvre at said spot. Now go and show us how it should be done!
Fact of the Day - The term 'Hubba' comes from the spot Hubba Hideout in San Fransisco. The spot was actually known by this name before it was taken to by skaters, as it played residence to many a homeless person or junkie, or Hubbas as they were known there. The name hubba became a name for the ledge there itself, and eventually became the generic term for that obstacle type.
So there you go. Also added the mug shots I somehow missed out first time round.
