FLIP Skateboards have dropped an amazing new deck series this week with Brighton based psychedelic graffiti artist Pinkyvision. Boulala, Rowley, Penny, Olivieira, Arto and Gonzales all have incredibly bright, new decks out this winter, look out for them on your travels to your local skater owned shop.
Here’s a compilation of street footage from Belgian ripper Axel Cruysberghs shot over the last year from Etnies.
The legendary Dan Drehobl features in the latest VOX Footwear promo this week. See what Dan hucks out, straight out of the box and look out for these shoes being distributed by I-Five in the UK this winter.
Manchester’s Chris Barrett kicks of the week with an edit welcoming his skills to the Theeve Trucks UK team. Click below for footage filmed by Phil Harvey and Jim Craven alongside some Sonic Youth goodness.
To celebrate Justin Brock turning pro in 2009 Quiksilver released a limited edition chino. I am quite the chino man myself, so I was delighted to receive a pair of these! You can’t go wrong with a classic like this. They are smart but casual, wear them to your Nan’s birthday party or down to your local skatepark and you won’t feel out of place.
These chinos are a straight fit with side cut deep pockets. They also come with a swatch of extra material in case of any patch ups, which I must say won’t be needed. Well, not this week. I was skating home a bit drunk late last week, when I hit some rumble strips causing me to leave my board, become airborne and simultaneously collect some sizeable scabs on my knees, elbow and shoulder. The good news is that not even a scuff was left on these, so maybe worth considering that fact alone before shopping at your local skate shop.
