Emerica Design A Tee Contest

Yup, it’s back for the eighth time. Go to the Emerica site, download a shirt template and give Emerica the best shirt graphic ever. If your design gets picked it will show up in a future apparel line and most likely on the backs of skaters everywhere. Pretty cool. Now think creative and get cracking.

Skateboarding Rolls Out of the Suburbs

This New York Times piece reports on what most of us already know…that skateboarding isn’t just popular with white kids in the suburbs. They name drop Ray Barbee, Kareem Campbell, Harold Hunter and grab some quotes from Stevie Williams. Of course ‘Skateboard P’ (aka Pharrell Williams) is given way too much credit and that damn ‘Kick Push’ is mentioned. Out favorite quote is from NYC street king Jefferson Pang

“UNSURPRISINGLY, some first-time skaters drawn into the sport by catchy choruses or candy-colored sneakers are dismissed as poseurs. “You’ll see kids that are dressed up like Mars Blackman, wearing Cazals and a cycling cap and tight denim, and they’re walking around with a skateboard as an accessory, holding it in a way we call “the mall grab”.

Behind the Scenes of Fully Flared

TWS has obtained a solid piece of information behind Lakai’s long overdue and highly anticipated video” Fully Flared” which premiers this Friday. TWS editor Carlton Curtis had the opportunity to pull its ace lensman TY Evans away from the cameras and editing duties for an in-depth Q & A. There’s obviously a lot more time, patience and variables involved with skate videos and film making in recent years, and with the quality and goodness of Fully Flared the bar will certainly be raised.

Read on and get inspired.
