Slam City Tea Mug

Post author By Zac
Post date June 21, 2011

Drinking tea will never be underestimated in the United Kingdom. Our nation craves the leaves, worships them and drinks over 165 million cups of the stuff and each year. Lovenskate started making mugs last year and since then, the urge to drink from a branded pint sized mug is catching on nicely with SW and now Slam getting the teas on.

Kick your morning off with a new Slam City Skates tea mug today for just £6.50. They have just been released this week and come with logos either side of the handles and are also available in black. Click here to buy one.

In the words of Jake’s Alley– “blog on you mug…”

The last minute decision to swap a session at Stockwell for Bay 66 this Saturday worked for 250 pro gazers as the Supra team descended into West London following a packed signing session at Slam City Skates. Watch the footage that has been posted online this week by Ravenous filmer Martin Kennelly featuring Stevie Williams, Tom Penny, Terry Kennedy, Lizard King and many more.

We hope that Ben Grove’s head is now in one piece too after skating like a loon under the influence of too much fun. Good times.

Happy 50th Birthday to Duane Peters

It’s Duane Peters‘ 50th Birthday today, so raise a glass of beer to one of skateboarding’s most legendary characters.

The ‘Master of Disaster’ started skating in 1978 and invented a bunch of classic tricks that went down in skateboarding history. His passion for punk rock led him to be a fantastic singer with his band the US Bombs and he now rolls into his 50’s in style as expected.

Despite a leg gash that almost cost him his life lately he is still getting amongst it and according to his updates on twitter, today, Peters is currently spending this special day watching Evel Knievel on TV. Keep it up Duane, here’s to the next decade.

Watch this documentary footage with Steve and Mickey Alba and fill up that damn glass again.
