Not sure what it is, but Tim Humphrey has created some of the most insane selfie edits of anyone on a snowboard. Here’s one from Northstar-At-Tahoe. How’s that monster back lip? Yeah, we watched it again and again and again. Damn.
The skaters definitely earned their money in the Brazilian X Games held April 19-21, 2013. Here’s how Nyjah Huston won in the Street League Skateboarding finals. For the complete, condensed, easy-to-process results, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
This new Lowcard edit makes backyard pools look so smooth and buttery, but if you think it’s easy you probably need a little one-run reminder of just how tight and kinky they are. Speaking of which. . . Oh, just watch the edit.
Earlier this month, with all the talk of Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft coming out with smart watches, we were thinking about the action fashion watch marketplace and what companies like Nixon, Vestal, Freestyle, Home etc. . . are going to do now that all that most of their products do is report the time of day.
In the always-on era we’re all beginning to suffer from what writer Douglas Rushkoff calls Present Shock. Thanks to digital technology we’re all living so in the moment that the past and the future are losing their impact on our daily work flow. So, not only have watches become useless jewelry, but the time of day (our only reason for wearing them) is quickly becoming one of the least important data points in our digitally cluttered lives.
This is probably why G-Shock is making their wrist jewelry a little more useful by loading it up with Bluetooth so it can communicate with a smart phone and subtly let people know know if they’ve got mail, a message, changed time zones, or even lost their phones to an unscrupulous mini market manager. Here, let Stevie Williams explain. . .
We’ve haven’t seen Adam Dyet skate for a while and this little outtake from Darkstar’s Forward Slash is a good reminder that things are all good with the man.
We never realized how sloppy shoelaces looked until we upgraded our new Vans Old Skools with some Hickies. These little elastic bands thread through your shoe lace eyelets and clasp back together in a slick and seamless fashion and turn laced up shoes into slip-ons just like that.
Hickey’s was founded in 2010 with Kickstarter.com funding by the husband and wife team of Gaston Frydlewski and Mariquel Waingarten. Here’s why:
“We hated tying our shoes, and we never liked the shoelace bows in our kicks,” Frydlewski and Mariquel said. “They break up the silhouette and lines of the footwear, and they look funny. Have you noticed that all sneaker advertisements show shoes without the bows (even in the stores)? It’s because shoelace bows are not attractive.”
Hickeys are available in all kinds of colors. And a pack of 14 can be purchased online for $19.99. We laughed until we laced up our new Old Schools. Now laces just bug us.
