WESC Conway shorts
It’s roasting out there this month and it seems WESC have a perfect solution to the problem of sticky knees in the Conway’s.
These shorts come in black, crocodile green, golden brown, blue and more colurways and fit the bill from the front to the back. They also come with a zipper instead of buttons which is my preferred way of finding my way out of trouble at the time of need. You will find two deep pockets up front, two regs at the back, and a tiny pocket usually associated with males for johnny’s, stash, memory cards and the like.
These are super-soft, super-comfy, and are super must have’s for the summer months ahead.
Death Skateboards are coming out strong for the summer with an animated team series of Supervillain’s for some of their pro team. The artwork was provided by the wonderful work of Jon Horner, who seems to be extremely busy this year crafting his skills for the British scene.
Patrick Melcher, Zarosh, Mark Nicolson, Rob Smith, Richie Jackson and even Matt Pritchard all have pro models that will be heading to your local skate shop within the next week or so. Order yours today.
If you have your eyes on the prize this month you would already be ahead of the game reading what the Chrome Ball Incident blog has served up. Years of incredible interviews are coming to an end, as it’s unfortunutely shutting down on July 12th – a big shame really as this blog has better skate interviews than most mags. Colin McKay’s recent interview was one of my personal all time faves but there are so many more.
They are going out in style though, with Lance Mountain, Julien Stranger, Daewon Song, Marc Johnson, Bobby Puleo and more involved in discussing skate history in the last 2 weeks with interviews and guest posts. Huge props to Eric (Chops) Swisher for all his huge amounts of hard work to keep this going for so long, he has inspired and entertained us with his skateboard knowledge for as long as I can remember and will be sorely missed.

Lakai Griffin
This summer’s most talked about skate shoe comes from Lakai in the shape of the Griffin. Up until I managed to completely annihilate both of my ankles in a bowl 6 weeks ago, these beauties delivered me justice on every session. Low cut, super comfortable and grip-friendly to the tape, the Griffin’s come packed as a shoe you can skate in straight out of the box.
Highly recommended.

Lakai Camby
The good folk of Lakai have rolled out the ultimate sunshine tripper this year in the Camby shoe. It’s a simple number that comes in either canvas or suede that perform as a perfect all-round chiller. I have had these on now for a month and just managed to get them in the washing machine to freshen them up, as there’s been no need for socks in this heat, unless you are someone who has adopted the ‘long sock and roll’ look. They came out of this cycle fine, to live another day, just doing what they do best, which is pretty much taking care of business of my feet on a hot summer’s day.
You can skate in these of course as Stevie Perez proves in the clip below, but don’t expect a simple shoe like this to last forever when hitting your grip tape every day. They come with a vulc sole in black, green, port, red, navy and even a cloud design in light blue and fluffy white. The best part of this is that they are made by skaters, for skaters, so take that in the next time you are stood in your local skate shop and #chooseskateboarding.

Frank Kunert’s Tennis Halfpipe
The world of Frank Kunert‘s photography is a miniature world where anything happens. Whilst looking through his lens recently, we found this Tennis Halfpipe. Take it in and then scout out his Small World‘s, they are fascinating.
I have no idea how Ben Nordberg managed to sign up for this one, but Princess Daffodil here gets brunched by Jimmy Arrighi alright.
