Sneaker pimps and trainer junkies will never get enough, and big shoe companies like Osiris know it. That’s why they are about to drop the latest in sole-soothing fetichism- the O.G. Abel/Osiris collaboration.

Abel is a famous Los Angeles graff artist from the 80’s who uses a very classy airbrush technique to get his point across. I must say this collabo is hotter than a jalepeno on a summer’s day. They should definitely warm things up when they drop in October.

We got an email through from Micheal Peuhse alerting us to a rad video of twins Tristan and Nic showing off their talents. They are only 8 years old but they are already dropping and hopping transition you could park a school bus next to.

Is it something in the water? We’re not sure, but I think it has something to do with GOOD public skateparks.

Click the link below and start worrying about how good they’re gonna be once they hit their teens!

Cyberspace is nice, but what we want to get touchy-feely with is the new Kenny Anderson pro model available very soon! If you have any news about the Adio UK Team please get in touch as we think they may have been abducted and long forgotten about somewhere after the annual Hawk visit…

You might have heard about this video project in the past. Basically some fun loving Americans have decided to make a video, cast the stars, get the hammers, edit some hot tracks to their footage… The whole shebang except one major detail: the title! So, being the nice chaps they are, they have decided to run a contest where the best idea for a name wins a brand new Deathlens. Not bad for 30 seconds of brain storming, eh?

So, now that the contest is nearing a result, a worldwide premiere is necessary. So far the date set is 06/06/06 – the day for devilish behaviour! Premieres will happen in Campbell, California, and Clearwater, Florida, but Paul Cote (the main man behind the project) is keen to get a premiere in the UK too.

Check out the site and trailers, and see if you know what to call it.

Currently running at over 3 hours of hell raising lunacy, the Dirty Sanchez Movie is in progress. I wouldn’t hold your breathe waiting for it, but then again if you film that you might get in the credits – Ha!

Apparently Motorhead lead, Lemmie was advised by his lawyer to leave the project, so you know it’s heavy.

Little Pancho is awaiting the birth of his second child, whilst Pritchard and Joyce race in the Gumball rally with Joyce’s supped up 500 horse power jock rocket!

Dainton dropped us a mail informing us of the Killcity Bowl Jam at Chepstow on the 27th May. Drinks will follow at the pub where Porno Paul will premiere his new skate video.

You might want to keep an eye open for a Daryl Cashman pro board in the near future, and a £250k street plaza park in Bridgend, but that news is yet to be conformed…

The Scandinavian video project, Neighbours, is about to go on it’s premiere tour of Oslo, Stockholm and Helsinki over the last weekend of April.

This video highlights the Northern talent of skate stars such as Love Enroth, Jani Laitiala, Janne Saario and Kristian Bomholt to name a few, and is set to be one of the top-end Euro videos this year, so expect it to hit southern shores soon!

Ok, footage is gold and Cliché rock 24 carat material when they’re on show, so feast your eyes on this (www.clicheskate.com ) , another wicked trip with the Cliché crew in Sicily.

Between trips abroad, a couple of football matches and having a baby- Congratulations!- Jeremie Daclin is a very busy man, but knows that to build a successful team you need to keep an ear to the street.

The French flow team has just been announced, so take note of these names because Lucas Puig used to be one of them:
Seb Housset, Thibaud Hetroit, Matthieu Christin, Mathias Swick, Joe Dezecot and Ludo Masselot.

With one foot on board and the other in an office, rumours of Jeremie and fellow Cliché rider, JB Gillet opening a skateshop in Lyon are slowly solidifying. The new shop will be called ‘Ballz Out‘ and situated at 28 Rue Bugeaud 69006 Lyon….
