Don Hartley Momentum Wheel !

I like so many other skateboarders was greatly influenced by this legendary Canadian skateboarder, known to many as Carver Don his style was effortless and was a master of just that the basic but beautiful "Carve" I could sit at Seylynn skate park and watch him carve it to pieces all day long without losing interest, yes he was that good. I'm going to miss Don and will never forget him and what he brought to Canadian skateboarding. I know for a fact he inspired hundreds if not thousands of skateboarders and for this he'll be in all of our hearts forever. The proceeds from this Momentum Don Hartley wheel will be going to his family and so for me a person that is pretty spoiled with free product on the regular jumped at the chance to pay full pop for these wheels with the intention of contributing to his family. I highly suggest everyone go and buy a set of these to do the same, Don is a straight up Legend ! R.I.P. my friend like so many others I will never forget you. My sessions at Seylynn will never be the same that i know !

eS x Crooked Tongues

The new Foothills project by the UK's own Crooked Tongues and éS has ruffled a few feathers. Far from embezzling a pantone-athon as yet another colab, both parties agreed to build a trainer from the ground up, brick by brick. It's quite an accomplishment, not to mention an investment in time and money, but as Gary Warnett from Crooked says, ‘it's time to ante up!' that means a bamix of outdoors and skate puréed with a side order of mid-nineties sneaker-smarts. The end result is a mélange a trois which fronts as neither trad-skate nor typical trail runner and is unsuited to both tasks. Click HERE for more.

etnies Plus x Freshive

etnies Plus and Freshjive threw down a party to celebrate the release of the new shoe designed by Rick Klotz. More HERE.

Rico Uno Live Block mix

Rico Uno kills it! 'Livestock’s annual Block Party is my favorite party of the year and a perfect way to end the summer. I wanted to share a little piece of what summer sounds like to me so I made a mixtape based on my Block Party DJ sets. This mixtape combines new sounds, favorite summer jams, rare finds, and unreleased tracks from my secret vaults. If you listen to this tape with an open mind to new forms and possibilities I’m sure you’ll hear something you like. Summer’s almost over, enjoy it friends.’ -Rico Uno.

See track listing and download it for free HERE.
