The internet is riddled with backflips right now. Here’s another one, this time with a 5050 thrown in for good measure and still ugly as hell. Is this the time we call out that skateboarding is moving closer to fruit booting? Give me a backside smith any day of the week.
Ugly as hell but someone did a backflip in the streets…
If you have been stoked on the Format Perspective teasers that have been appearing online this summer then get hyped on the UK screening that has just been announced. Phil Evans’ film that documents the lives and opinions of six European skate photographers will be shown on Thursday 4th August, 8pm, The Wayward Gallery, 47 Mowlem Street, London, E2 9HE in association with Kingpin Magazine and Carhartt.
The Pledge shirt by éS should deal with a British summer on 2 levels. Over the last 3 weeks, the weather has blown, hot, cold, hot, cold and somehow this shirt has sat right in the middle of it all and saved my skin. Due to its 100% cotton lightweight design, this baby blue number has provided warmth when the sun has disappeared and has tackled the heat with the sleeves rolled up with ease.
It comes with a double lining so when you get it out of the wash it doesn’t fall apart and is easy on the iron. It also has minimal branding and a tasty front pocket if you need to stash smokes or cards.
éS have some great lines of clothing out right now and this shirt comes highly recommended this summer. Treat yourself this weekend, you only live once.
