At the brilliant Mellowpark in the outskirts of Berlin, Germany is a small courtyard bowl setup. Build by hands, shovels and love. DIY!
“Emerica, Carhartt and Kingpin Magazine teamed up and sent out builder crews and riders to various DIY spots all over Europe; mixing concrete, putting dreams into effect, setting them in stone. Covering locations as distant as Berlin (Germany), Brescia (Italy), Shefield (England) and Helsinki (Finland), the outcome is as versatile as the different countries, as facetted as the people in skateboarding and as manifold as the things they like to skate.”
So you get the call from Vans: ” Hey Matt, fancy heading over to Romania for a few days to skate around and shoot with Lois Pendlebury, Helena Long and Helen Lovelee?” We hell yes you do!
This is just another day in the life for Matt Clarke, check out some of the out takes below and the full article is out in newsagents now.
This week we had an exciting deliver from the guys over at Fluff Magazine (19) in Holland. The magazine takes more the form of a book having only produced 19 volumes in the past eleven years, yeah there not banging out twelve issue’s a year and selling 10′s of thousands in WH Smith but this publication is a work of art. From then editing to design to photography and even the smell of the paper stock and binding its something to cherish.
The articles from visits to Malaga, Thailand and a Supra Euro Tour are filled with amazing photos of skating and snapshots. Other magazines take note… this is how its done!
We have a few copies in the shop if you fancy a browse at your leisure …
Muska and the boys have been living in a Supra apartment in NYC for the past few months filming for the new video. We will be doing a simular thing on the streets of Kettering soon, does anyone have a house we can crash?
“In anticipation of the release of SUPRA’s forthcoming full-length tour video, set to release next week, we take a look into some footage of the brand’s team riders shredding throughout New York City. Having rented an apartment in Brooklyn for roughly a month, the gang of talented boarders virtually made the city their playground, awarding onlookers with high-octane visibility of their well-honed skate skills.”
“What were you doing when you were 7 years old? Skaters of all ages agree, no one started as early, as talented, or as inspired as Asher Bradshaw. The skateboarding phenom is still in elementary school, but already shreds harder than kids twice his age. He’s been busy in the year or so since his breakout YouTube debut, catching the eyes of Tony Alva and helping his parents work on a Kickstarter project to fund a documentary about his amazing talent and viral rise to skating stardom. eDsanca recently caught up with Asher in Venice Beach and put together an edit showcasing the youngster doing exactly what he does best.”
