92 til infinity

Here's a sequence a shot of Mark '92' Thompson a few years back. It was used in Sidewalk a few years ago, i was stoked.

Disposable

My friend Neil was nice enough to send down a copy of Sean Cliver of Powell & World Industries fame's book "Disposable: A History Of Skateboard Art". As well as visually documenting the colourful history of skate graphics, it also features words from Cliver himself, the artists behind the graphics and some insight in to the inspiration for the graphics from the pros themselves. If you're the type to geek out on skate history or just have a thing for the aesthetic of the 80s & 90s, I recommend tracking a copy of Disposable for your coffee table, bedside or toilet reading collection.

PS: If anyone has any of the recent decks Sean Cliver designed for Supreme up for sale, get in touch!

Nas is back.

Laminate Lover

If you've ever been to any of the Scottish skate comps in the last few years, chances are you'll have seen some of Daryl Smith's work. Using old recycled skate decks, Daryl has created some incredible trophies and other scupltures.

Check out his work at Laminate Lover.

Specials.....

Just spoke to Sam at Nike SB who informed us that we have a couple of limited releases to look forward to next week. First up is the Singapore "only" released Dunk Hi in some fruity colours which we will have 6 pairs of and will only be available in our Glasgow & Edinburgh stores.

Also released on the same day is this super limited (50 pairs in the entire U.K people!) slip on with trademark elephant print panels. Again only available instore sometime next week. Please give either store a ring if you're interested in either shoe.

Analogue....

The most excellent Analogue has a brand new website at www.analoguebooks.co.uk which you should visit soon.

The King of Kong

If you haven't seen this movie then get yourself a copy asap, it's amazing. There's a website called Twin Galaxies that features heavily in the movie, it's got all the video game high scores from every game ever made. I was on it today and they have released the new world record breakers for Guinness World Records. There were 48 new world records which is amazing, but even more amzing was seeing that 10 were by the same guy, Isaiah "TriForce" Johnson. I looked him up and found that he was the first guy in the world to buy the Nintendo Wii when they were released in NY in 2006. But better than that, he wears a Nintendo Power Glove.

How awesome is that!
