Life + Times recently caught up with Jenica Davenport, Nathalie Herring, and Micku Murgolo, three fascinating characters with a passion for longboarding. The girls, based in New York City, represent Bustin, a grassroots longboard company created by and ran by skaters. The video documents the all-girl trio as they skate the streets of New York, along with a little behind the scenes look at Bustin's New York shop. The girls' passion really shines through, and the moment they drift through Times Square with Empire State of Mind playing in the background, you can't help but feel they run the streets and have so much fun doing what they do. An inspiring video and an interesting look at a couple of prominent figures within the New York longboarding scene.

Nike SB Eric Koston Tour Video

I continue the Nike posts with a skateboarding post featuring non other than Eric Koston. As far as Nike advertising goes, their campaigns right now are pretty on point, and as a result I brought out the card today in their new Glasgow store on a few 6.0 products.

This post looks at Koston on tour, as Nike gatecrash his travels to bring us behind the scene coverage of the skateboarding icon as he acts a fool, sleeps in, vanishes on tour, chats to Kobe about his first signature shoe and of course, skateboards. There's also a little snippet of his commercial with Michael Peña. All in all it's a great short from Nike. 

You can check out Eric Koston's microsite here, and watch the video below.
