Police and Skateboarders In the Street!!

           So there we were skateboarding in the carpark opposite my house on a skatebench we had borrowed from the shop ......    The session was going down just nicely, Wes nearly nailed a kickflip tailside !! Not bad for a man who cant boardslide!!  Then Boom!! eres the fuzz!!   They had stopped in the Road adjacent and were probably pondering what the hell we were doing !!  Fair enough i thought !! Until we got "excuse me! We have had some complaints from the Local Residents and you are going to have to disperse !"   i replied "Really thats funny i know all my neighbours and they haven't said anything!" Police Man .."well as a group you are very intimating!! Also its very dangerous skateboarding here you could get killed by a car !"  Firstly our group consisted of 3x ,,15 year old lads a Teacher and a local Business owner! and secondly Killed ! Really! so i replied "Yea i suppose thats true i could get killed here and i also suppose there could be a smack head robbing someone or a Drunk dude beating someone up, but your here worrying about us ! ...... kinda changed there attitude that did  the police officer said things like im guna square up to you ! im guna make you like difficult ! and grabbed me as a tried to walk away !! Then he told me to chill out !!  ......What a Proper Nob !.....
          So anyhow apart from just having a little rant about this theres a massive point here the police by taking this approach they create an US and Them attitude and they wonder why they have a bad name ! The youth of today have so many negative influences around them and doing things like skateboarding gives direction a focus on summing positive ! why would they suppress such a thing! Police and authorities need to wake up and support the youth and maybe some of the social problems we have may start healing !      Rant Over....................    

     

Boomin In The Barn!!!

Saturday Night was a Banger   Probably the party of the summer for us guys !!  It was kinda unexpected i i'm honest as the Onedrop Rig had been blagged out for free to what i thought was guna be a little Barn Party Out in the sticks!   How Wrong i was ! Banging Check teh pic bellow ... Big Shout going out to The lighting Chap Jon from   www.devonsoundandlight.co.uk  With an array of lazers and way over the top (ina good way ) lights !! The place looked and sounded Fookin Pro ! Gota say tho both Me and Jon did an 12 hour straight stint Pon the controls... Un Aided in my case Defiantly not in Jons ;) . Everyone who came   was wonderful , Well except the Jungle dj who defiantly needs more time in his bedroom before venturing out live !!  3 tune dance floor clearer !! kinda a mean feat in its self and he was proberly the worst dj i have ever had to work with on the levels !!! yes even worse than ezpz !! way worse! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdTOFulNLVU    Sound Done!

Carhartt Meeting London

I just got back from viewing Carhartts Summer 2012 range!! T'was a long trip to London town where I encountered many overly trendy types including a man dressed in a full bright green lycra suit with an additional matching green top hat!! And a very fat man in seriously skinny clothing... not a good look I can tell ya!  

The range itself was at a the expected high Carhartt standard, making it very difficult to stay within budget ! In fact, I had to redo the buy half way through or I would probably have bankrupted the store!!  ;)    Tee's had gone up in price from 25 to 30 quid but the logo stuff has stayed at 25 so i went heavy on that along with some nice tonal graphic tees and the usual array of artist graphics including a photo tee, which was dope! Denims as usual were strong and of course the ever popular chinos in varying slim to baggy cuts made me very happy!!  As with this season next summer is all about the duck! Some sick polos and shirts with the duck embroidery and again following through to the sweats. These included a few new switch ups on the capital sweat tee.  The shorts were possibly what i got most excited with.  Leg lengths are getting shorter and there isn't much out there like this at the minute. Carhartt are bang on this with best selling styles now available in different leg lengths!! Boomin Lad.  Expect a massive range of absolutely banging shorts next summer (a bit like this year !! :) ) .....  
        
Other Than that I had great fun Skating my Cruzer through the underground stations and I even got a shout out on the tanoy at Paddington !!!  Brillant !! Oh and I blazed one up out the train window !!! mmmmmm!    

Dvs Sandbar Series Shoes..

Designed For the Wake skate crew using water friendly materials that last and having Mesh sides that allow water to drain quickly and easily. These sneeks are definatly different ! and if you wake skate there probably a must ! More than likely they will just be a wonderful way of wearing shoes thru the summer months (if we get any summer!) without getting mad sweaty feet ! which suck ! and smell ! Ask Moxy from the Breaks Collective about these he has been wearing them since we opened back in 2003 ! sorry for jumping on ya style with these dude but hey there good !!!!
