Blueprint Skateboards are about to roll out a new series into your local skater owned shop this week. Artist Mark Ward came up with the new Big Smoke deck series and wheels for pro riders Shier, Smith, Murawski, Jensen and Brady.
The wheels are new and improved Blurethane shape and urethane. Order one from your local store.
The Black Label crew went up to Wade Speyer’s ranch to enjoy some of the country life and the “Raise Hell” annual barn bowl jaunt and a session at Ripon. Watch Tyler Mumma, Riley Stevens, Brandon Perelson, Peter Watkins, Javan Campello, Peter Raffin, Wade Speyer and many more.
The 5Boro team from NYC hit the road to Detroit with Rob Smith, Pontus Alv and Phil Zwijsen and documented what went down.
The Lovenskate family have launched another audacious deck design today following their Royal Family design back in April. This month you can pick up a limited ‘Surely You Can’t Be Serious‘ deck as homage to the great comedian/actor Leslie Nielsen who passed last November and you can also find new ‘Rad, White and Blue‘ tees in their online shop. Treat yourself to some UK DIY goods this summer and support that scene.
UK skate shops are stacked with new decks, wheels, clothing, shoes, hats and more right now so here’s our monthly gathering of what we think are the best options throughout July. Explore below for a selection of products available from Skate Mental, Girl, Superdead, Heroin, Drawing Boards, Volcom, Foundation, Unabomber, Chocolate, Crayon, Toy Machine, Fourstar, Altamont, DVS, Lakai, Kr3w, éS and Emerica.
