sod off all ya mongo plank pushing kooks!!!

incase some of you are unaware, i have not been updating this blog here nor have been posting in the fb page for some time now. no, i did not quit skateboarding like most of have thought or assumed and concluded. i just don't feel the need to do so, i.e. updating ironxhanger. i mean, why should i and also, there's no point sharing knowledge while others claim credits, right? personally, i give credits all the time, where and when credits are due. y'all now have the fukkin' interweb and also that anti-social media thang, don't you? so go do the knowledge yourselves. i won't be posting as much as i used to, it's wearing me thin, figuratively speaking here.

oh yeah, shout out to all you skateboarders out there for licking and sucking iasc / tws' ballz yesterday, 21st june a.k.a gsd (go suck dicks). also, to those flossing 'em thrasher magazine garbs, do yourselves a huge favour and please, burn them. all of them! i'm serious, 'cause i doubt that most of you who flaunt 'em, even purchase nor subscribe to the magazine. yes, it's a magazine and never was a clothing brand, you fukkin' imbeciles! looking at you, mr. ns inspector kook, and probably 70% of those who floss hard in 'em gears as well. ;)

anyways... shut up, quit your fukkin' whining and go skate, you motherfukkin' kooks!

peace.

p.s. dear skateboard jocks and wanna be thugs, please stay away from ironxhanger. google analytics don't lie, and it clearly states that most of you've been spending way too much time here than actually out there, skateboarding. =)

dope ass d.i.y brazilian short skate film!

we all have our preconceptions, more or less ill advised, on about every other subject… let's mention brazilian skateboarding, and you most likely will have more than one. this new production by the one and only “cotinz” should shake about every single one of them, thanks to a total immersion into the local underground, doubled with a certain lack of respect for what “the rules” about skate video making are supposed to be… take a seat, this is a diamond even if in the rough that we have as a live exclusive for you!

fukk skateboarding!!!

...and you too!

a “trick” or ”treat”, honestly?!!!

on fukkin' point, and this is probably one of the best quotes in skateboarding's history, in my bloody opinion. =)

this is also one of the few reasons that i personally dislike “methods”, “style” and “technicality” aspects on how to push a fukkin' skateboard “properly”. so distasteful and seriously, who really gives a fukk?!!!

no, i am neither mad nor angry, i am just sayin'... so, you go ahead and do your thang, and i'll do mine, aight? thats' it, end of story.

finito!

everyone wins!

peace.

about this book.

-----

back in the eighties, when the western world was deluged by a wave of blue denim, carhartt’s brown duck work coats entered the streets as an antidote. detached from their original raison d’être of attiring hard-working men in mines and on railroad tracks, they arrived in our cities as some sort of new anti-denim. soon after, and largely due to the efforts of carhartt’s european distributor work in progress, the american workwear classic evolved into the international streetwear icon by which we know it today.

work in progress: the carharrt wip archives is the first comprehensive publication exploring that remarkable evolution. edited by michel lebugleand anna sinofzik, with texts by gary warnett, mark kessler and anna sinofzik, it features more than 350 images including heaps of hitherto unpublished photographs, artworks, as well as ephemera drawn from the company’s own archives and different private collections, providing an unparalleled look into the brand’s bustling universe.

featuring the extensive story of the brand from its humble beginning to their most popular garments like the detroit jacket, watch hat, siberian jacket, and cargo pants, work in progress is a celebratory, transatlantic stroll through the company’s rich and colorful history. this collection will appeal to both fashion enthusiasts and devotees of american cool.

about the author.

carhartt work in progress (carhartt wip) forms a division of the american brand carhartt, one of the first company’s to pioneer workwear in the usa. founded in europe in 1989, 100 years after hamilton carhartt established his business in detroit, michigan, carhartt wip has been carefully adapting and modifying carhartt’s core product characteristics for a different audience of consumers who value refined design and quality while remaining true to carhartt’s brand origins. since the beginning, carhartt wip have built a strong, organic relationship with unknown, inspiring, provocative and upcoming figures in music and sport, becoming an iconic and well respected brand in underground scenes, from hip- hop to skate, from graffiti to cycling, as well as working with labels such as a.p.c., neighborhood, patta, vans, junya watanabe and many more. starting with one store in london in 1997, carhartt wip have meanwhile opened flagship stores in more than 60 locations and can be found in over 2500 stores worldwide.

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!

“berlin”!!! \m/

just be very careful for what you wish for... †

click on the image above to enlarge.

photo: pinkviolence.

this time around our mission was to do an entire issue on our hometown of “berlin” - an ode to the city’s future and past with some present thrown in the mix for good measure.

and here’s a little sneak peek on what’s happening in our “berlin” issue.

- david lichtenauer... is dividing his time between building high-concept skate ramps, high-concept airplanes and high-concept miniature filmsets - amongst many other creative high-concept things.

- thomas von wittich... has been following berlin’s notorious graffiti crew “berlin kidz“ for two years - and luckily for us he always carried a camera with him. 

- moscowman... probably is the hottest ticket on today’s dance floors, not only in berlin but world wide - and we had a long conversation with the young Israeli about his mission to free all dance floors. 

- ruth wolf-rehfeldt... is an unfairly forgotten genius from the former gdr, whose art is very complex, very skilled, very elaborate - and it was entirely created with her trusted typewriter.

- more eloquent statements and visual awesomeness about “berlin” from the likes of: lukas feireiss, andreas gehrke, anna uddenberg, live from earth, conny maier, zhivago duncan, alex gnädiger and many others.

cover by daniel josefson  (r.i.p. 1961 - 2016).

the “berlin” magazine has the format 200mm width x 250mm height and features high quality print, different paper stocks & comes with flaps + specials colors!
