Have a look at the official site and view some large video clips and solid interviews with those involved and backing the effort including one of Philly’s street bred sons, Stevie Williams.

Back in Axion?
Yesterday we’d received a news release to announce the re-launch of Axion branded footwear within the “action sports” market. Hmmm… will wakeboarders, snowboarders, FMXers and other extreme athletes stand to make financial gains in this rebirth? Is Kareem Campbell involved as well? Probably not. Only time will tell with this one. One thing we know for sure is that the URL for the website is still up for sale and will have to be negotiated.

Skateboarding And Film
Starting off as a review of Gus Van Sant’s new film,
Paranoid Park, this Guardian UK website story wonders into skate culture film makers including Stacy Peralta and Spike Jonze. The author even brings up Adams, Hosoi and Gator.
This Larry Clark quote is pretty interesting: “There is more life in a skateboarder skating down the street than in a hundred Hollywood actors.” In this day and age, we have to agree.
