mogwai_focus_skateboards

Long serving Scottish skate shop Focus have collaborated with Mogwai on a series of limited edition skateboard decks and t-shirts, celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary. Whereas Daft Punk’s latest skateboard attempt was a cruiser, these are the real deal.

£5 from every deck sold will go towards the GUSM74 skate park project in Glasgow. Grab them quickly.

To celebrate Gonz’ birthday yesterday Krooked unleashed Mark Gonzales‘ part in the Krooked Kronichles video from 2006.

This has the lot. Longboard inverts, British park slashing, street goofing and a Spike Jonze cameo.

The man is timeless, ageless and still manages to keep us entertained after so many decades. Long live the one and only Gonz.

Matt Pritchard pisses on Dolph Lundgren in plane

Gumball-3000_pritchard_dolph_lungdren

OG Dirty Sanchez member Matt Pritchard found himself in national newspapers this weekend following a drunken private plane journey where he got naked and climbed seats before pissing on movie star Dolph Lundgren!

Amazed he was not arrested, he tweeted: “I have no recollection of this whatsoever, never mix drink & zanex.”

The Death Skateboards pro is on the rip as part of the Gumball 3000 trip around Europe and the US and making the most of it. “Society says I’m getting old but my mind does not agree. Burn the candle at both ends and in the middle.”

More of this to come soon as we will be discussing how tame life became in the noughties in a new article looking reminiscing the days of Bum Fights, Rocco, Big Brother, Bam and more.
