Today (Tuesday September 19, 2017), an elite group of billionaires will spend a few hours in California’s Central Valley at a privately owned pond testing an entirely new form of surfing content production.
The work will be performed on a specially designed “set” where every “variable” can be accounted for and controlled. The actors will be hand picked by talent professionals, the live audience selected based on their visual marketability, and the content created will be perfectly packaged to provide the highest ROI. Yes, it looks like fun.
Vans first ever team snowboard film Landline is just that — a snowboard movie shot “primarily”on Kodak 16mm film. Everything old is new again enjoy.
LANDLINE. director Tanner Pendleton unravels more than two years of filming with the Vans Snow team in iconic snow locations such as Bulgaria, Russia and Canada. Attributing his success to the greats that inspired him, Pendleton remarks: “Snowboarding films have always provided me with endless amounts of inspiration. I want this film to reach out to kids out there the same way these films reached me when I was young. This collaborative vision is a true expression of some of the most real and dedicated people in snowboarding.”
Don’t expect to see any action in this clip, because, after all it is one big tease, and the film doesn’t arrive until January 2018. For more info click the link.
When you think of all the crime going down in the city of San Francisco on July 11, 2017 it’s good to know that the San Francisco Police Department would allow so many of their officers to hang out a catch all the action at Dolores Park.
It’s home tour time with Ed Templeton, but please don’t go to his house and steal any of his stuff now that you know exactly where it is because that would be so not nice. Ya dig?
Yeah, there’s some retro motorcycles up in this piece, but it’s also got Steve Cabellero and Christian Hosoi so we’re willing to sit through the vroom vroom nonsense for a little bit of vert.
We lagged pretty hard on this one, but just so we have it up for posterity here is part three of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with amazingly talented Huntington Beach Pier walker Ed Templeton.
It’s rare that we find ourselves waiting for part two of anything, but after part one of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with Ed Templeton we were itching to get back at it. Thankfully, that time has come. Enjoy.
Start your weekend off right with part one of a discussion between Tommy Guerrero and Ed Templeton. Think they’ll talk about art and skateboarding or will they have forgotten it all? Click the arrow and know.
No shock to anyone really, but we’ve never understood the “streetwear” thing. We know what it’s like to desire every single piece of kit we’d see on our favorite skaters, surfers, and snowboarders, but we never got our heads around the fetishization of those clothes by people who seemed to be more into the fashion (and we mean that in an East Coast/NYC way) than the skateboarding. We’re hoping Bobby Hundreds‘ new documentary Built To Fail: A Street Wear Story will finally enlighten us.
BUILT TO FAIL: A STREETWEAR STORY takes you through the history of streetwear, including the subculture of LA’s surf & skate scene, the punk rock scene, and the rise of graffiti street art out of NY. The film features interviews with Tommy Hilfiger, Russell Simmons,A$AP Rocky, Benny Gold, and LA-based designers such as Eli Bonerz (X-Large), “Bobby Tribal” Ruiz (Tribal), and Rick Klotz (Freshjive).
Built To Fail premiere’s this Saturday, June 17, 2017 at the Los Angeles Film Festival at 8:35pm at the ArcLight Santa Monica. For more info click the link.
