Flicknife ‘Shoot From the Hip’ tee

There’s no worse news than when someone you skate with breaks a bone, so last night’s news that Scott Madill broke an arm skating that crappy little bowl in Putney Park was annoying to say the least.

Aside from generally tearing it up whenever possible on a deck, Scott has been making some new tees under the Flicknife moniker and has a new “Shoot From The Hip” tee out this week in white ultra-weight cotton. These are limited edition and only £15 from flicknife.bigcartel.com

Have a butchers at what he’s been up to and get well soon Scott!

Unabomber x Crossfire Pilot Tee collab

It doesn’t happen often in here but when Unabomber Skateboards asked us if we were interested in a collab, we decided that we should go back to the beginning when Crossfire was represented by the good old Bomber image and within a few emails, the ‘Pilot Tee‘ was born.

So, this collab celebrates 10 Years of us bringing you what we do in here from a brand that we have admired since day one. In fact, the winged handshake Unabomber logo is one of the most iconic British skateboard company logo’s ever made, so we are proud to merge our head and their hands for this one-off, limited edition run of tees.

Grab these whilst they are available from our online store. We will send them to you in the post as soon as you order with a Crossfire circle sticker and Refs Cards. Treat yourself to a comfy, new tee to celebrate with us and take into the summer month’s ahead. Thanks for your support.
