not it is not, and here are 30 fukkin' good reasons why it isn't a muthafukkin' sport, biatch! yeah, yeah...! you can debate or argue about it all you want, but as for me, it's a fukkin' lifestyle & a culture, more than just a hobby and definitely not a muthafuckin' sport! git that straight, a'ight? ripped laces tells it like it is!

put it back in the streets!

first it was the espn x games then street league and now the olympics? com’on, tony! this is not funny at all...! skateboarding should remain in da streets and not in some fancy stadium!

could skateboarding become an olympic sport? following the success of snowboarding and freestyle skiing at the sochi winter olympics in january, the organisers are apparently considering it seriously.

tony hawk has been invited to several meetings about it and recently told larry king he believes it will be part of the games by 2020.

can you imagine olympic sponsors putting out ads like this?

system ngnm.

i will hijack their codes and aesthetics in a damaging and harmful way, just like they did with graffiti.

the “exstinctor” propaganda project aims solely at destroying the notion of commodity.

just like graffiti, my work is public and not private. nogallerynomaster was created so that we can choose and select how my work is sold and distributed, in accordance with very specific criteria.

kidult is not represented by any  gallery or institution. 

we will refuse any sale or collaboration involving galleries, institutions or any other for-profit artistic entities, which enables me to keep unrestrained artistic vision, independence and freedom.

the  notion of capitalism is absent from my work. selling my art allows me to fund free art and global actions, it is a closed loop system.

all enquiries please contact here.

nike sweatshops: behind the swoosh.

so, you think by having nike sb shoes on will make you skate like p-rod or koston or malto, huh? think again! watch this documentary and comprehend. don't let multi-national corporation sporting goods companies infiltrate skateboarding! thanks!

nike sweatshops: behind the swoosh is the ultimate video for exploring the sweatshop issue. using nike as a case study, the film documents first hand the widespread and oppressive and exploitative labour practices in the developing world.

sometimes it's necessary to be abrupt and get to the point. that's exactly what we did from day one, so here's a redux of iron column's very first shirt in a new colourway and with a new logo back print. whether you're out thrashing or just walking down the street, people will know where you stand... and for those sitting on the fence, be careful not to get splinters up your arse.

the image above was some shit i did back in '07. just sharing it here in ironxhanger. stop skate harassment! period!

"to protect and serve to dictate and abuse, you make me hate you. you created me with your superior attitude. and you expect me to respect you? and i wouldn’t care if you died, right before my eyes. i feel no sympathy, watching your demise. and to side with you is like siding with the iron fist, and to support you, is like supporting a rapist. and i wouldn’t do that. you made me what i am, you made me hate you. that’s why it makes me smile when someone kills a pig or two."
