It's nine years since Volcom released their last full length Holy Stokes and it's safe to say that the skateboard clothing marketplace has changed a lot over the intervening years, not least the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of the brand's license holder in the states. But global operations and the domestic US market are not one and the same  - business is complicated like that - and the release of primarily Euro-centric video High Time shows there is life in the old stone yet!

The tried and tested full length is of course familiar advertising territory for the company that brought you Freedom Wig, Chicagof, Let's Live and more, and those 28 years of experience can be felt throughout what has to be one of the best curated long plays of 2025. 

Eniz Fazliov earns the right to open proceedings with arguably his best footage to date - which, in a career spanning 20 years, is no mean feat - before young bucks Thanos Panou, Marcos Kada and Jechu Corvalan hold it down for next generation. Team montages serve as a warm up to the double header of Matisse Banc and Doobie bringing the heat, before Simon Bannerot and greatest-living-Englishman Harry Lintel drop career defining parts that'll leave your jaw on the floor and your hand hovering over the rewind button.

It might be nine years since the last Volcom full length but we can't wait that long for another - when their videos continue to be this good we want one every autumn!


It’s become a late-year trope in skate journalism to claim that every new release is a cynical ploy to secure Thrasher’s Skater of the Year. And while that might be true for certain heavily funded brand productions—spamming the airwaves with clip after clip from their latest marquee pro—it’s impossible to lump New York’s Hardbody into that camp.
Which is exactly what makes this latest batch of Antonio Durao footage so enjoyable. Sure, taken alongside his Immigration part from early October, and his appearance in Johnny Wilson’s Spitfire Vid, the timing certainly looks like a conscious push to get Tony onto the shortlist. But Emilio Cuilan’s homie brand isn’t exactly bringing shoe-company money to the Thrasher table - this is footage released for the simple joy of sharing great skating, and we’re fully here for it.
You’ve no doubt already seen the Wallenberg NBD doing the rounds - by midday Tuesday it was basically unavoidable - but the part is way more than one trick in isolation, so you really have see the rest. And regardless of whether this does propel Durao onto Michael Burnett's fabled list, the Pulaski ender has to be up there as a contender for trick of the year!


We first heard whisper of this move back in the summer, when we were lucky enough to spend an hour with Mike Carroll on the R1 couch. Sworn to secrecy - and not one's to piss off Mike - we kept schtum but the excitement of the news was eating us up inside, so we're super relieved (and rather thrilled) to be able to announce that DeAndre 'Lil Dre' Thebpanya is the latest pro for Girl Skateboards and his debut part is now up online!

Kicking things off with a skit - it wouldn't be a Girl vid without a skit - Lil Dre immediately silences any potential naysayers with the most wonderfully perfect fakie front crooks at Paris' Creteil shopping plaza, before dropping hammer after hammer after hammer, all executed with that timeless flick adidas Skateboarding fans have come to know and love.

With Pier 7 bangers galore and an ender that would not have been out of place rounding up Yeah Right, Lil Dre proves himself to be classic Girl material with the most aesthetically pleasing style trick after trick after trick. Click play now to see a future legend in the making!
