SBC Skateboarding

While doing my online surfing looking for things to blog about I stumbled across a Canadian skate website then looking through the website I found city guide to the major Canadian cities. The guide has things such as

• Must do
• Must avoid
• Population
• Skate Parks
• Where to eat

And so on. It's actually a pretty rad source for everything skate in Vancity and for my own curiosity I  will check out the Calgary one.

STÜSSY X MARVEL

If you're looking for a super rad shirt you now know where to go. About a month ago Stüssy launched a collection of graphic T-shirts in collaboration with Marvel. Marvel also teamed up with other artists and each chose their own character to take on and interpret. 

Check out the interview with Stüssy here.

Converse Mania

The  people behind the Converse sneaker have come up with an unique and interesting way of transforming the much loved footwear into a work of art with the launch of the Canvas Experiment.

Taking place throughout May, the Canvas Experiment was brought to life as a 5x4m motorized Chucks wall of about 500 All Stars, both working together and independently, to make a 400kg interactive screen that can display patterns, words and images.

Dogtown and the Z-boys

In the early 1970s, the sport of skateboarding had drifted so far from its popularity in the 1960s that it was virtually non-existent. In the Dogtown area of west Los Angeles, a group of young surfers known as the Zephyr Team (Z-Boys) were experimenting with new moves and styles in the water which they translated to the street. When competition skateboarding returned in 1975, the Z-Boys turned the skating world on its head.

The original members of the team:

• Jay Adams
• Tony Alva
• Bob Biniak (died February 25, 2010)
 
• Chris Cahill
• Paul Constantineau
• Shogo Kubo
• Jim Muir
• Peggy Oki
• Stacy Peralta
• Nathan Pratt
• Wentzle Ruml IV
• Allen Sarlo

"There was so much aggression...they were more like a street gang than a skate team"

-SkateBoarder Magazine circa 1975
