You’ve got some catching up to do.

I gaped. I couldn’t believe what I’d seen. He’d ridden the wall. I jerked my head around to share with everyone else’s amazement, and no one, not one single person seemed to have even noticed what Christian had done. Stecyk knew though, and said, “You’ve got some catching up to do.” There’s an excellent in-depth […]

Locals Only

No, not another Surf Punks post. This is Hugh Holland’s new book published by Ammo Books. A couple images and a few words after the jump.

Born Ugly Magazine #4

Flexible and Radical

Believe it or not, this is not the first graphic of a skateboarder to appear on a flying disc. The other one one I have is just a generic flying disc, but this is an honest to god Frisbee™. The Malibu Skate model features what looks like an op-art frontside invert. Malibu? I heard there […]
