Slam! Greatest misses from Royal Stain, Never Summer, No Love Skateboarding

If your favorite part of any skate or snowboard video is seeing people fall down and get hurt, then we've got a treat for you: This week, we found three locally-produced clips full of brutal bails, courtesy of the new Royal Stain H-DTS Down to Skate promo, Never Summer Smash! (a compilation of greatest misses by the Never Summer snowboard team), and No Love Skateboarding's not-so-hot Hot Minute #7. This Thanksgiving, take a moment to be thankful you're not any of the guys in these clips (unless you are one of the guys in these clips, in which case...sucks to be you).

Here's Royal Stain's recent visit to the new Team Pain park in Northglenn:

Here's a look at what the Crisis Skateboards crew has been up to:

And, for something completely different via Null Skateboards, here's Night Push, an arty short by Rob Helmstetter:
