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.
Antihero Skateboards new, full-length feature comes out July 25, 2017 in skate shops and on iTunes. In the meantime, check out a little taste of corporate culture right here.
To anyone who’s spent a day staring out the window of a Minoan Line ferry looking for surf in the Agean Sea this vid will seem like fiction. Yes, we spotted wave with potential off the coast of Delos, one fall during a storm, but nothing like what Nixon surfers Marlon Lipke, Yannick De Jager and Gony Zubizarreta found on this trip.
Chances to score are always very low considering the consistency of swells and the difficulty to predict conditions. Timing is key, local connexions are priceless. All they needed was a call: a friend and local shaper guaranteed them that the conditions displayed on the weather forecast would turn the coast into an idyllic playground, and it did.
Guess so. This whole edit was snagged in one day, and when the day was done, so was the surf.
