Yup, it’s back for the eighth time. Go to the Emerica site, download a shirt template and give Emerica the best shirt graphic ever.
If your design gets picked it will show up in a future apparel line and most likely on the backs of skaters everywhere. Pretty cool. Now think creative and get cracking.
Watch him go! Dan Wileman is seriously on fire right now. Word on the Street says the boy wonder has been hooked up on City Skateboards UK flow team.
This ends another great year for Bristol’s 50:50 rider who was hooked up with Venture and Hubba this year. Look out for Wileman at this years Crossfire Xmas Jam as he, the Venture and 50:50 Teams will all be in the house on 8th December at Bay 66.

Death Skateboards ripper from Down Under, Richie Jackson gets a new stick featuring some trippy graphics.
Don’t worry, the boards will be shaped like proper skateboards when they come out, this is just a picture of the graphic, idiot.
Nope, Potter has not finally met his match and received all of those slaps, punches and headbutts that he delivers when he is pissed after all…nope, it’s great news, Carl ‘Potter’ Wilson has been given pro status on Death Skateboards this week.
This proves that if you want something and get amongst it, you get what you deserve in the end. Carl has brought so much to UK skateboarding and anyone that is an original member of the Horseman of the Apocalypse crew is alright by us. Look out for this pro model in skater owned shops this winter and watch out for his storming part in ‘Better Than Life‘ on December 3rd.

Mikey Chin has a laugh at possibly the greatest piece of skate architecture to be put in a skatepark, courtesy of Tribute.
Basically, every skatepark should have one of these from now on. Park builders, take note.
I’m sat here in the kitchen cooking up some chicken to MGMT on the stereo when I stumble upon this little number. The DC King of Los Angeles went down courtesy of DC Shoes who opened up the chance for people to roll into a jam format and step up.
Not only does this video come with hammers especially when Vincent Alvarez is concerned, but added goodness comes from the tune ‘Kids’ by MGMT as this band is high on the list of Crossfire’s tips for 2008.
Click below for the full flavour.
The unsung heroes of any skateboard videos are the directors, producers, editors and filmers that make them. In the case of Lakai’s Fully Flared, the man behind all of those is Ty Evans.
Whilst you sit at home pissing yourself excited about the premiere on Sunday, have a read about what Ty says about the most epic production since Titanic.
