During my time working for VANS Australia i became good friends with John, which is now the team manager of the Vans Aus/NZ team. So working for those guys, you pretty much have to be Mr. Allrounder and i have to say John Parmeter really went all they way with this one, even to the extend of going to the chop shop to cop a back end of a ute! Mad efforts!

Nice one brotherrr!

NASTY

226826_458371097569934_1525707347_nVans Japan/W-BASE Rider Teppei Iwabuchi a.k.a NASTY started building a bike early last year and it’s a 1975 Triumph T100 which he custom to a Cafe Racer. Homie then started posting pics of a RE-build early this year and i’m glad he made the right choice by putting a hard tail kit in, smaller tanks, etc. Now the bike looks the way it suppose to and it fits Nasty perfectly.

What a sick Triumph!

4Q

A REAL board, ironhead motor and a panhead? Sure looks like Max Schaaf’s garage if you ask me! 4Q Conditioning, Oakland.

BONES BRIGADE

“It’s not a death metal band, an extreme diet club or historic dominoes association—the Bones Brigade was a talented gang of teenage outcasts. Unmotivated by fame or popularity, they completely dedicated their lives to a disrespected art form.

For most of the 1980s, this misfit crew headed by a 1970s ex-skateboard champion blasted the industry with a mixture of art and raw talent becoming the most popular skateboarding team in history.

he core unit of the Bones Brigade built an empire that covered the world. They dominated contests, made hundreds of thousands of dollars, created the modern skateboard video, reinvented endemic advertising, pushed skate progression into a new era, and set the stage for a totally new form of skating called street style. There’s nothing comparable in today’s skateboarding.”

GSD 2012 NYC


Just a little re-cap of Go Skateboarding Day in New York City. Looks like a rad day and it’s just so awesome that brands like The Hundreds, DQM and Chrome were involved.

Hope everyone had a good Go Skate Day this year!
