Caught in the Crossfire

Nike SB’s new bumper book on their European Ams had its London launch in a swish East End art gallery recently. The 600 page tome was the brainchild of Dutch skater and Fluff magazine editor Marcel Veldman in cahoots with Dutch design house Vijf890.

The book took a little over a year and a half to compile, and managed to succeed in capturing every single rider on the footwear company’s European amateur programme- all 117 of the bleeders! The London launch featured the lol’some Ramsgate escapade documented by Sidewalk editor Ben Powell, and saw a turnout of the great and good of the British scene as well as a smattering of the usual suspects for whom the lure of a free beer will see them crawl over broken glass (and we wholeheartedly include ourselves in that category).

The book is available through SB stockists for a short period, but come back next week for an interview with the top boy Veldman himself, and your chance to win a copy!
