Chris Cole partners with Zero

As previously reported, Chris Cole made a slightly unexpected move from Black Box footwear brand Fallen to DC Shoes. This caused a few to jump to some needless conclusions, most notably the assumption that his loyalty to Zero isn’t as strong as we once thought. Far from it, as Black Box have just announced that Chris Cole will now be business partners with Zero chief Jamie Thomas and will have an active role in directing the future of the company, while still ripping it professionally of course.

Here are some words from The Chief himself…

“Cole’s loyalty and support have always been an integral part of Zero’s success for the past decade. I’ve always included him in important decisions and brand directions, so it’s exciting to know we’ll get to work together for the life of the brand. I couldn’t imagine a better partner.”

Watch: More Daewon Song

As I’m sure you already know by now, a brand new Daewon Song part was posted up recently on The Berrics and it made even the most hyperbole-conscious of us baffled as to how anyone can ever top Daewon’s skating. More evidence in his favour has just surfaced on the Almost Youtube with a minute of offcuts used to further promote the part. Not that that was necessary. It’s Daewon.

Regardless, another minute of Daewon is the best free gift anyone could ever give. Oh, and some of you might enjoy the fact that in this edit the footage has been de-interlaced. Serious business… enjoy below.

Forever on a ting, Unabomber’s Will Golding has been slaying it across the UK harder than ever lately and this rad new clip at The Boardroom from Get Lesta is more than evident of that fact.

John Rattray Behind the Artist Reel

Whatever the reason, there are little things better than writing a news piece about John Rattray. The same goes with reading ’em, it means there’s something rad coming your way. This is no exception.

John Rattray has updated his Predatory Bird blog again in a slightly off-character non-esoteric fashion. The post contains a stream of photos taken while John was filming for that amazing Artist Reel for Elwood.

Click on the ridiculousness below and have a read.

Watch: Kenny Hoyle Bonus Part

Expedition One dropped a whole tonne of madness on our heads at the end of last year, featuring a monster part from the now-professional Kenny Hoyle. Of course, this is 2011, so a huge part doesn’t always cut it. Well, it did… and then some, but Expedition One don’t care, they made the most out of their new pro and have just released yet more madness in the form of this bonus part.

Ridiculous. Keep your eyes open for a review of the film coming online very soon and click the image below to see the free bonus part.
