Chris Hall’s independent video project, Get Familiar is out this month. The video features a very varied group of individuals: Daewon Song, Darren Harper, Bobby Worrest, Zach Lyons, Mark Gonzales, Casey Rigney and Donny Barley, and is pepped to be one of the best independent videos to date.
Don’t belive me? Then watch the new promo and a bit of throw-away footage.
Do you wear brown cords? Silly hats? Pretty scarves..? Chances are you wear I-paths too.
Well, Christmas could come early because the ‘Roots culture’ shoes are running a contest to win a box load of goodies.
All you have to do is post up some footage of yourself skating and explaining why I-Paths are the best shoes this side of Babylon. Contact the dread-heads with your Youtube link here.
Surprisingly enough, some skaters can actually read and write! Harmony rider and Scottish ruler, Jaime Bolland has teamed up with his mate Inga Streich to compose My llama for a dromedary.
Seeing as the book has only just come out, and we at Crossfire don’t know how to read, we’ll have to explain it’s contents as “a journey through fragments of secular everyday life.The constant switch between the two authors – and consequently their viewpoints as well as their adopted forms of expression in text and image – takes shape as a suggestive juxtaposition that encourages individual interpretation.” (Cheers Inga!)
My llama for a dromedary will have a launch in Glasgow on November 17th at Where the monkey Sleeps from 7.30pm Live music and drinks for all!
Heeeeyyyy Chico man…!
41VM just keeps getting better. The new formats work well with a focus on quality not quantity, and that’s why Issue 14.4 is a banger.
Andre Genovesi, DVS in South America, Robert Lopez-Mont, and of course Mr. Chico Brenes: Quality over quantity in action. Out now!
The skate shoe market is based 97% in the USA, leaving the remaining 3% split between South America, Europe and Asia? Obviously competition is fierce for those 3% but the United Kingdom now has a strong contender in the shape of newcomer Mcarta Shoes.
The name comes from the disputable first bill of Human Rights that placed everyone on the same level – the Magna Carta. The influence is the juxtaposition of modern landscapes and Nature.
The end result is some good looking kicks. Models include the Surety (pictured), the Levy, the Charter, the Liberties, as well as jeans, tops and jackets. Reps are currently roaming around Ye Olde Englande so keep your eyes peeled for pairs hitting stores right now.
