Skull Skates founder PD appeared on a Vancouver-based TV show called Urban Rush. He had a ton of product and a couple dark silent types from Barrier Kult. I was hoping for more interaction with the Barrier Kult guys, they look so sinister standing on that set, like it’s a hostage situation. A large segment of the skateboarding population knows about Barrier Kult, but I’m sure their presence was shocking and a little disconcerting to the general viewing public, especially in the current political climate. It looks like a hostage situation.

“shocking and a little disconcerting to the general viewing public, especially in the current political climate…”
Maybe, but Canadians leave the doors to their houses unlocked. They are probably more afraid of their neighbor’s militarism than men in ski masks. To them, it probably looks more like the Deer Man of Darks Woods is getting ready to snow-blow the driveway.
Go Pacifism!!! Eh?!

unlocked doors is why Burnaby/East Van has the highest home robbery rate in North America.
Don't worry about it...
Or marijuana growing. I understand that happens there, too.

there is a video, and it is plenty long enough. Cool in an odd Canadian way. Why do skull skates cost so much? Clearly it isn’t the art that is costly.
bobcat
all of PDs stuff has been 20% over normal costs, even up in the Vancouver BC store. A hoodie will set you back $60 at Calsk8/everywhere, while other brands go for $45.
It’s the price of being fashionable I guess. Suckers.
