the predatory bird deck.

click on the image above to enlarge.

photo: the predatory bird

the predatory bird deck is exquisite. here's why:-

a) 100% canadian maple has been lovingly stained in the spirit of your favourite rosewood dining table.

b) the ultra-limited, laser-cut, bird-in-hand inlay motif is unequivocally labyrinthine in its radicalness.

c) each board has been constructed, piece by tiny intricate piece, by the talented, nimble fingers of the wood crafter, in british columbia.

d) each deck bears it's unique number of the 50 that exist.

e) functions equally well as wall decoration, improvised speedboat rudder or skateboard deck.

and please watch this video below:

this video is of my friend andy. when i was 13 i got drunk and threw a pool ball as hard as i could straight at his face. he dodged it, laughed and introduced me to the r. crumb / neil blender style keep-on-truckin rock fakie. now he operates a small wood shop in vancouver where he has made a miniscule number of the first ever predatory bird products. i’m pretty sure this is the only time we will use this particular process. there are 50, some of which are completes with thunders deluxe made specially, thank you deluxe.

greg mike x real skateboards for johnnykickscancer.

click on the image above to enlarge.

spend any time around the city of atlanta and you’re likely to run across one of greg mike’s loud mouth stickers plastered across a street sign or wall. no stranger to minting his own appropriation of custom decks for a range of the city’s artists, djs and skaters alike, he has developed quite a following for himself over the years through his uniquely characterized aesthetics that are seen emblazoned across walls and canvases alike. the atlanta native recently joined real skateboards to curate a spring 2012 custom capsule collection alongside the storied brand. for the collaborative, greg mike lent his hand to a taut range of five custom-designed ramondetta and brock signature real decks. a testament to the duo’s well-intentioned motives, greg mike designed a one of a kind three-foot-tall “mad can” peter ramondetta version that was hand-painted, and will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit the johnnykickscancer foundation. aligning with the skate deck range, real unleashes a short film highlighting the progression of the mad can creation while the decks will see a release through select stockists.

ad: anti hero/dlxsf

read and comprehend the ad above. john cardiel a.k.a cards, is one of the most determined person in the skateboarding culture who ever existed.

he is also one of the few skateboarders who lives by the "do or die!" attitude and there are only a handful of skateboarders who lives and live up to that ethics. and i really do not need ten fingers to count how many skateboarders out there internationally, who are similar to the way cards lives his daily life.
my out most respect to and for him for never giving up in his life, no matter how fucked up it can get sometimes!
