hey eee eh...! yeh eee yeh...! i got this book the other day!

purchased this big ass globe international book, as show in the image above, a day before new years eve last year (2016) at a local book store. well, i actually made them bring it in store for me, as it would have definitely cost hella lot more if i had mail ordered it myself and by the way, this book weighs a ton! i fukkin' kid you not!

“unemployable: 30 years of hardcore, skate and street”, consists of 705 pages from cover to cover! this muthafukka is jam packed & filled with more than 500 photographs and illustrations, with hardcover binding and weighs a little over 3 kilograms! no fukkin' lie, i tell ya! more like a couple of cinder blocks rather than a book.

i strained my right shoulder from the sheer weight of it gravitating down on the slings of the tote bag that i was carrying this book in, during my whole day out. what a fukkin' pain in the neck!

alright, alright... let's get on to business now. actually, i had already mentioned about this book before purchasing it in a few posts sometime back. so, go and read it, here, you lazy arses! well, that makes us even, since me own arse is too damn lazy to write a personal take and / or review for this ginormous beast!

anyways, fuck the world, go read as many books as you can, take photographs and while you're at it, don't forget to push your skateboards too, muthafukkaz!

ctas pro black mono - kevin rodrigues!



cons rider kevin rodrigues collaborated with ben chadourne and jean-louis huhta to bring you an audio visual representation of his skateboarding in paris, france.

kevin sourced a range of his own musical influences and worked closely with jean-louis to create the bespoke composition tailored to suit this film. it was filmed and directed by ben in the recent parisian winter months providing a cold, dark cityscape where everyone involved found a creative influence.

about kevin rodrigues:
-----
kevin grew up skateboarding in paris, which has shaped his creatively rich diverse output. looking at skateboarding, spots and style with a unique vision that is both refreshingly natural and inspiring. his path is constantly heading in his own direction which will be further evident in his upcoming part in the new polar skate co. video.

for the launch of the converse cons x polar skate co. capsule collection at ben-g skateshop in amsterdam, we teamed up to do a very special #byobss on the sunday inspired by "polar's manhattan days" video.

eventually we ended up at the #byobss hq olympiaplein to have a final sesh with the new obstacles, mucho beers and a proper bbq.

many thanks to all those who came out and converse cons for supporting this event.

riders: david stenstrom, kevin rodrigues, willem van dijk, noah bunink, bastiaan van zadelhoff, harmen bazuin, simon de boer, tycho henskes, federico da fies and othmar van rijswijk.

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.

filmed & edited by bobby spero.
produced by jeremy lugo & ashley ann lalicata.
