French has finally dropped his biggest dose of putrid metal into the skate scene this week by hooking up with illustrators Paul Parker and Murdoch Stafford to launch a new board company called Witchcraft. If you love the stench of Death you will be stoked to know that the wonderful grafters of Rock Solid are distributing so if you are one of many skate shops that check this site daily then get in touch to stock and also note that Jamie Morley, Sam Roberts and Jake Snelling have also joined the cult as team riders.

Witchcraft Hardware has been set up to spread of dissension and rebellion throughout the younger members of Kindred society – all boards are always limited to a run of 100 only, so if this is what you need in your life right now go join the Coven at www.witchcrafthardware.com.

JR is apparently back, but it’s definitely official- you suck at the rap game son. Roger to that.
