Those of you who are looking forward to Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s story Where The Wild Things Are will be stoked to know that there will be a run of Girl Skateboards decks to accompany the release. The movie directed by Spike Jonze looks phenomenal, check out 3 of the 7 designs here and look out for them in your local SOS soon.
Vans rider Bucky Lasek has dug a massive hole in his backyard and is in the process of turning it into a monster concrete bowl. Check out the footage below of the build that should entertain some seriously good sessions in the future.
Everyone needs a rain cover, éS knows it as well as we do and therefore they produced a piece of clothing that is well suited for rainy days.
This piece comes in 2 colours, white and black, I don’t recommend the white if you live in heavy snow fall areas, we wouldn’t want you to go missing! It’s 100% nylon and has a 600mm water-resistant coating, that pretty much means you can surf with this jacket and keep your nipples dry. There’s a print pattern all over the garment, but it’s subtle and printed in the same colour as the jacket, it’s kind of looks like weather warnings, perhaps that was the inspiration behind this. The jacket’s got enough pocketing all round you’re your titbits and also sports a custom logo patch at the bottom left.
I actually really like the practicality of this garment, it’s not heavy and keeps you dry whilst maintaining a slim and stylish look. It’s not something I’d wear to a wedding, but when you’re caught in a shit storm or the skies open up when you’re riding you’re skateboard, you’ll be safe as houses and everyone else will be looking at you with hate because it’s pissing down and they haven’t got protection!
