Bones Wheels Mo Mondays With Jared Huss

Posted on June 20, 2011 with Comments Off

Nothing like getting some skateboarding done after work and then relaxing with a good video after the session. This Mo Mondays video from Bones Wheels puts Jared Huss in the spotlight and man, he rips. Great music from Dead Kennedys on top of that plus a really evil looking slam at the very beginning = just over two minutes of skateboarding radness!

Zero T skate decks

Posted on June 20, 2011 with Comments Off

Art director Paolo ‘Zero T’ Capezzuoli has taken the art of skate decks to a new level with his latest Impressure project.

The artist primed a single shot from Brooklyn in New York City onto five blank wooden skate decks with acrylic gesso before layering them with a photo emulsion fluid.

Says Capezzuoli: “For me, paper wasn’t quite dramatic enough to best visualize the
results.”

And lucky that it wasn’t, because this looks awesome. Truly one of a kind!

Europeskate Music Tip – Greys With Ultra Sorta

Posted on June 19, 2011 with Comments Off

Some things never change – I’d love to suggest new music to you and myself every day but there’s that stupid thing called time which always seems to not make it possible.

To get to the point here’s the Europeskate Music Tip for today: it’s a band going by the name “Greys” out of Toronto, Canada which manages to put together a mixture of loud guitars, screaming guitars and a hidden portion of Fugazi and make it sound damn impressive. Have a listen as this is really a bit different than many bands you’ve heard lately! Three songs from their 5 song debut EP “Ultra Sorta” coming at you…
