first look: april 2017 issue ov the bible with chris russel.
chris flips through a beast of an issue, complete with k-walks on the cover, t-eddy awards, skate rock in mexico, the homies down under and much, much more.
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!
this docu-film is a drag. don't bother watching it. ain't worth your fucking precious time, seriously.

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!

back in the eighties, when the western world was deluged by a wave of blue denim, carhartt’sbrown 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’seuropean distributorwork 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texts by gary warnett, mark kessler and anna sinofzik, it features more than 350 images including heaps of hitherto unpublished photographs, artworks, as well as ephemera drawn from the company’s own archives and different private collections, providing an unparalleled look into the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 progressis 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.

this shit below, is dope! the whole heroin skateboardsinternational jingbang, in one sweet killa film, from 2013, yo!!! snooze and you'll lose, sukkaz! chekkit out, y'all!
video nasty features the whole heroin skateboardsteam and was filmed all over the world, from manchester england, osaka and okinawa in japan, vancouver canada, paris france, los angeles california, and even more exotic locations that i've forgotten the names of. video nasty is no means your average skateboard company video, it blends creative skateboarding at strange spots with eccentric personalities, the result is a skateboarding video unlike any you may have seen before.
purchased this big ass globe internationalbook, 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 500photographs 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 afukkin' 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!
