Grey Skateboard Magazine talks to Lev from Palace

Absolutely bang on the money interview with Lev of Palace skateboards, discussing hipsters, internet shit chat and trying to convince skateboarders that Kareem is more legit than Sheckler.

A friend of the shop and one of UK skateboarding's kingpins.

Lakai the noo!

Wallride drop 21 - Girl & Chocolate wood.

One thing you can never accuse Girl and Chocolate of is weak graphics and this new drop of wood is no different.

Personal favourites are the super simple Fluorescent series and a reworking of a classic Shortys graphic.

New shop at the Edinburgh skatepark.

Room for one more?

First one in the bag.....

No sooner is Christmas done and we're buying for Fall 2011 (that's Autumn to you and me). A quick jaunt to Glasgow was in order to see the man like Chez and the new Cons collection. Some good things in the pipeline for a brand we're expecting big things from this year.

Expect to see the first of the new batch dropping in July, but fear not the Spring collection will be here from early March onwards.
