Altamont are rolling out the grit this week with the release of newest tee featuring none other than G.G. Allin. This mosher famed for his rock and roll antics on stage covered in human excrement and bile passed away on the bog after a show in NY back in 1993 following an overdose, so this 20th anniversary tee marks the legend that he was and has also now become.
Merle Allin-brother and founding member of “The Murder Junkies,” allowed Altamont access to drawings G.G. made during his time in prison, as well as never-before-seen photographs. Merle chose his favorite images for a series of Altamont tees celebrating G.G. Allin’s extraordinary life.

When introduced to the concept of the Photocopy Club you cannot really dismiss it due to its simple but effective nature.
What is it then? Essentially it’s all about bringing people together to contribute their photos, whatever the subject, and sharing the tales. Once these submissions are photocopied and stuck to the gallery walls, the doors open, free beer is delivered to fuel the chit chat and the photos are set for sale to help cover the costs of the gallery hire for one evening only. The walls are then stripped by drunk people wanting to wake up with a memory of their favourite shot of the night. It’s a perfect idea.
The beautiful part of all of this is that Xerox and Destroy was open to everybody, so you get to see many different photos that you would never have seen before. These are showcased alongside various stills from skate photographers whose work you may well be familiar with, such as David Hopkins, Ben Larthe, Richie Hopson, Rich West, Jonnie Craig, Sam Hiscox, Jenna Selby and many more, all mixed up together, and all telling their own story. It’s an historic journey from start to finish, so long as you are quick enough to see them all before they are snapped up.
Last night’s gathering at the Doomed Gallery in Dalston was a huge success. Photographs filled the walls, Atticus provided the beer, the gallery was packed with people all night and the rest is now history.
Thanks to Matt Martin and Marc Vallée for making the effort to put this together.

MINUS RAMPS – TRUE INSPIRATION
Find a disused pool or ditch. Clean it up and skate it. Some members of Minus Ramps and General Sherman´s Floats show you just how gnarly DIY life can be. In the first two weeks of February this year, spots in Los Angeles, San Diego and El Centro were found and sessioned. This edit features the work of Chad “JR” Leblanc, William “Soup” Campbell, Chris Cope, Landjunge “JP” Kraus, Sam Hitz and many more. The ender is ridiculous.
The good folk at Freestyle Skateparks are up to their knees in mud (and snow) this week whilst the concrete is pouring on the all-new Level park in Brighton. No transitions have been sprayed yet so it’s still very much a building site, but here are some images for you to have a look over including the latest update of the visual with the central ‘spine’ of the bowl rolled over and a 30ft half pipe.
I think that you will agree that she is looking mighty fine.
