Posted by ChrisRecently Birdhouse launched a new site and more than a few videos to go with it. Witness the trailer for their upcoming video, which is slated for a Fall 2007 release. They’ve also got footage from the rest of the team, including Sumner, Santos, Ragdoll and more. Worth a visit.
Posted by ChrisBlack Box Distribution has launched its new propaganda machine (website) and the whole enchilada looks quite appealing. Be sure to regularly check their “Inside the Box” feature and arsenal of podcasts. Good to go.
Posted by bkTake a look at the cover of the June issue of Transworld featuring the late Shane Cross. We saw this over at the Flip site which also points out this same issue features an 8 page tribute to the fallen skater.
Never forget.
Posted by ChrisAs you may or may not know, adidas and Krooked are hosting a party this Friday, April 13th, to celebrate their collaboration and release of the Krooked Superstar shoe at the DLX store in San Francisco. Open to the public from 6pm to 11pm…get in on the action.
There will be limited edition Krooked boards (free to the first 100 pairs of Krooked Superstars sold), piñatas gigantes, Tommy G spinning records and plenty of adult beverages and more. Be sure to stop by before the cops do.
Posted by bkThe boys at Black Label are having their annual sidewalk sale this Saturday, April 14th in the OC. Brings wads of cash for substantial saving on many of their products that were held back from hitting the skateshop shelves.
Posted by bkHead over to the City streets and check out the accumulation of new and re-edited footage of their sure footed am, Jimmy Cao. Solid.
Posted by bkVox has announced the recent additions of Jeff Grosso and David Gravette to its team.
Posted by bkThe two dudes that have produced important, raw and meaningful skate films like Tobaccoland, Fruit of the Vine, Northwest, and Tent City amongst others, are putting in a few last licks on their forthcoming release, The New York Skate Movie (Working Title).
For the past year or more, Buddy Nichols and Rick Charnoski have been hitting the dirty streets and diggin’ deep to gather solid interviews, old photos, 8 and 16mm film archives, and material never seen before from many of “The Big City’s” past, present and lifelong resident skateboarders. This telling documentary film is certainly one of importance and scope no matter what generation of skateboarding you feel most attached to.
So get set and get ready…it’s coming to your town sooner than you think.
Release Date: Spring ‘07 with an international premier tour.
Posted by bkHas it been that long? Yes, Slap is celebrating 15 years on the evening of April 20th with Mike Watt and his project The Missingmen. Also rocking out will be The Blacktop Project with legendary members Ray Barbee, Tommy Guerrero, Matt Rodriguez and Chuck Treece. Throw in a massive installation of photos, original art, covers, mag spreads, artifacts and a Slap designed Nike shoe and this is looking like an essential event. It all goes down at Club 6 in San Francisco.
For even more details, and some cool 10 year photos and video, visit the Slap site.
Posted by ChrisThe fellas at the Stereo Sound Agency are teaming up with the esteemed crew at 3131 Clement to throw a celebration of sorts…and not just for the hell of it.
You see, Stereo has recently reached its decade and a half milestone of pushing along the pavement and since the boys (and gals) aren’t getting any younger, there’s no time like the now to raise the damn roof!
A gathering of friends artwork, photos, music and memories is planned in San Francisco, the city of Stereo’s birthplace, on Saturday, April 21st.
Mark your calendars and get on down.
