What more do you need (aside from a bedroll on the bars)?

Victor Perez has been skateboarding since 1977. He was sponsored by Kryptonics and Santa Cruz in the 198o’s but as with many skaters his interests turned to art. His latest work is the Sk8Lamp, a series of high-end lighting centered around skateboard inspired shapes and reclaimed lighting fixtures.
Sk8lamps is different. It’s about the repurposing of otherwise discarded materials to a new, improved state. The lamps are constructed of used or rejected decks, wheels and trucks that have either fulfilled or cannot fulfill their intended purposes. The electrical pieces are removed from devices no longer deemed aesthetically pleasing and given extended life. It’s more than a recycled skateboard, a recycled lamp, or a recycled idea. It is Upcycling. The Upcycling is art. The Art is unique.
The work pictured at right is titled the Rolling Verical Cheese and it’s for sells for $315. To check out more click the link.
Nixon’s new “professional yet playful” Raider brings some big-watch style to their women’s line.
It’s got the ‘boyfriend’s-watch’ styling of a big, sturdy case and a clean dial but this new watch is all woman. Sandwiched between the case and bezel lives sparkling crystal inlays add to its charmingly simple good looks. The Raider features a classic analog with seconds stopwatch and a 10 ATM water rating. The band is custom injected silicone with a patented locking looper and stainless steel buckle. Now available in black, surplus, white/silver and white/gold.
We know he’s gotten in to all kinds of whackness lately, but we still like to think of Jason Ellis as one of the hardest working, brutally funny skateboarders ever. So just think about those old times, before MMA, before the radio show while watching this clip. And if you’re into it, click here and buy his book. It adds some background that explains a little of where Ellis is today.

On March 22, 2012 a limited run of signed and numbered collectors edition of Greg Noll’s iconic “Jail House” striped trunks will go on auction. The bids will start at $200 a pair. Whoa.
Greg Noll, the most mythic of big wave surfers called “Da Bull,” a surfing legend that rode to fame in the halcyon days of the 1950s and 60s. Iconic in his jailhouse trunks, he stared down fear, achieved the impossible and became the benchmark for busting the limits.
We keep looking to see if this is a fund raiser for something, but it’s not. Just a pair of signed, numbered trunks in a really cool box. To check out the more affordable items in the Greg Noll x Billabong collection click here. Or follow the jump for a short Greg Noll video. [click to continue…]
Much like Chrome Ball’s previous collaborations with Nike and Heel Bruise, this project is once again a nod to skate culture’s yesteryear, as the graphics are a reference to the opening sequence of Powell-Peralta’s 1987 classic film, The Search for Animal Chin.
