then & now: erik ellington - part two!



erik's iconic collection of skate shoe continues with his supra footwear models. as part owner & pro skater, erik walks us through the challenges he faced on both ends with supra. having the community support the brand, while encouraging their complex design aesthetic, was a challenge at first but ultimately created a niche that only supra can fill. with his latest model, "the ellington", erik explains how he's been motivated again to create something he truly loves for consumers everywhere.

this concludes erik's "then & now". thanks to all the brands and people involved that help make this possible. special thanks to dan rogers for helping us set it up.

wheels on fire – creature blaze it in copenhagen!

it’s nothing but bangers, as the creature team take copenhagen by storm on bikes with bbqs built in.


you really can’t beat summertime in copenhagen. it's a city comprised of thousands of bike riders, so the creature team and some friends took to the streets and skated anything that crossed their path, come hell or high water. sometimes literally floating on water.

red bull skateboarding ©

p.s. the only fukkin' thing that i do not like about red bull skateboarding videos is that it auto plays by itself! fukk that shit! =|

life is...

this is an ol' one.



"...it is an ode to freedom, freedom of expression and action, through the skateboarding as a brush, the streets as a palette of colour converted to grayscale and carried to the visual record as a canvas in a screen, for its communication. life are two days and we embarked on the quest for color. life is... a poem led to the streets, through the am_r, not to say or, by its imperfection. the complete, the friendship, the collaboration, the day-to-day effort without the need for justification, an interpretation, of freedom, in my humble opinion."

skateboarding in palestine - التزلج في فلسطين



"(i am submitting this video on behalf of mick kirkman who is out of the country with little to no internet!) my name is charlie davis and i set up the organisation skatepal in 2012 after seeing the potential for skateboarding in palestine whilst i was volunteering there as a teacher. mick kirkman volunteered to come out with me this spring (2014) to help out and to make a short film about the project. skatepal is a registered charity and promotes skateboarding in palestine through building skateramps / parks and holding classes. since 2012, we have been growing and developing the skateboard scene in the country. we are set to head out again in a few weeks, with a diverse team of 20 volunteers, to build 3 new skateparks in palestine responding to the enthusiasm we received on our previous trips. it is very exciting to be present at the outset of the growing interest in skateboarding in the west bank and to work with highly motivated children who have a love of the skating. we focus on areas where the children are most disadvantaged due to life under military occupation and we strive to offer young people a creative outlet to express themselves creatively and positively through skateboarding. a lack of sporting opportunities in the areas in which we work means that this project is very important for these young people, for whom there is not a lot to do. they often get caught up in the conflict and so we want to give them the opportunity to channel their energies through skateboarding. we were lucky to have mick come out with us and shoot this excellent short film to help promote our project capturing the feeling and atmosphere of the west bank."
