Don’t you hate it when the police get’s their cuffs on you, and you have to look like an idiot just because they say you did something wrong. A bmx rider found the answer to this problem. This version shows Dutch police LIPS handcuffs which are the same as the German ones. Probably most of the other countries use similar systems.
No more FREE KEMPI T-shirts!
Sorry to get political but unless you are a moron you will have noticed that Israel are in the process of committing what is tantamount to genocide in the Gaza Strip. It is good to see riots and protests, and maybe someone who can do something will actually listen. In the meantime, check this site out for ways in which you can help stop the Israeli apartheid regime.
I would like to point out to any reactionary people out there that has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH JUDAISM. I am not an anti-semite, I just strongly disagree with the actions of the Israeli state towards Palestine.
A mighty tall friend of mine introduced me to a mighty pleasant Italian chap by the name of Alex Fakso. I was already familiar with his work, having acquired a copy of his first book Heavy Metal published in 2007. Fakso is one of the few photographers within the graffiti world who focuses on the mission as opposed to the finished product. While Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant’s work in the 1980’s has proved invaluable to graffiti history, what they didn’t capture was what went into the pieces. This is why Fakso stands out. His photographs instead capture the preparation that goes into the finished product: watching spots, entry, organising paint and soforth.
He is away for a little while, but has agreed to an interview upon his return, so watch this space. Until then, check his website for more because he doesn’t just take graffiti photographs.
Just saw this over on the Orchid site. Don’t usually post up shorter webvids here, but this one’s awesome so it’s in! Kevin Porter and Jeff Klugeiwicziwvizvizviz “Welcome to the team” vid for UGP.
Just saw this selection of awesome US street-ery (And a bit of park ‘n’ trails) over on Defgrip.
Recently i handscreened/made some T shirts, some more info of the background of the Lion is here .

hey everyone that’s been texting me, have a merry time off work and celebrating time with family, and don’t forget the true meaning of X-mas…
the Sun…. past cultures worshiped the Sun for its feeding crops and agriculture with the all important light needed to grow and in a time that taken for granted technology, such as lights to see wasn’t present. the birth of the Sun so to speak and its return towards the equator again (even though its the earth that is the one that is moving on its tilted orbit).
several religion personified this tale and managed to make a best seller out of this. next time your in a hotel have a look in the draw under the kettle or bed side table, and don’t forget to get ready for the next part of the story, the resurrection (or when the Sun crosses the equator line)…
btw, if like me you are sitting on store credit/vouchers to big high street brands, spend them asap, as unlikely for a major money grabbing retailer is to go into liquidation is, be good to be in a position that you are left holding worthless bits of plastic and paper… wait a minute, sound like money it self…….
here have a song!
British Photographer Gavin Watson has taken an array of diverse images in his career which has spanned over 30 years. Particularly well-known for the book ‘Skins’ released a few years ago now, these images, amongst many others have become strikingly significant and historically valuable. More recently working for magazines such as ArtRocker & Vice, and photographing bands such as Gallows, we of course jumped at the chance for a brief Q&A with the man himself..
its considered general knowledge on a game show, also check out the 2 contestants that 1 can’t even remember what he does and the other that looks like he should be on a type of register.
I’m a big fan of Ashley Charles’ riding, and a big fan of Will Jackson’s riding, so the Ash + Will videorama from those awesome dudes at WTP does it for me. Check it out!
Yo here’s a link to a petition, I think it’s all pretty self explanatory. Basically it’s a waste of time and money sending kids to prison for graffiti given you get drink drivers who kill people getting small fines, paedos being let out on licence and scumbag muggers get a light tap on the wrist. It’s all a total load of bollocks, given the people who commit violent crimes and therefore pose more of a risk to society get less punishment than those who commit what only amounts to crime that has financial consequences.
since July of 2007 we’ve been filming a bit here and there, where stuff hasn’t been used its was just left to gather cyber dust, so before it became too obsolete i thought i share a quick retrospective look at the last year in a casual edit.
http://www.vimeo.com/2518536earlier in the year Mark made a post mentioning the DotheTest safety awareness campaign, usually when the Gov talks about safety they are in more danger of boring you to death, but nowadays they are getting pretty clever with their shiz. have a butchers, the latter half is pretty nuts.
Well, Louis’ ears must’ve been burning after that last post, ‘cos no sooner had I posted that last item than I got an e-mail from him telling me to head over to AversionBMX.co.uk to check out their updated site and see their new Dec’08 mix. It’s a cool vid, and well worth watching. Get over there!

In the list of places I check out on a regular basis, the Aversion site is definitely up there. Despite having a pretty punishing uni schedule, and being sponsored to ride for Deluxe, Louis still finds the time to update it regularly, and now to also put up their new designs too. Pricing in at £15, the new Dots T-shirt looks rad as hell, and like the rest of the Aversion t’s should fit like a glove too. Plus - they’re all hand screen-printed, meaning each T-shirt is unique (Different fades + colours!). All in all, another quality product from a quality UK company. Represent!
Mathew Lawton at tempered bikes sent over this vid and nicely ask if we share with the world, despite it having already made the rounds already and reaching 6000+ hits, buuuuuut its all about vids showing how much fun you can have a super simple spot. nice one guys….

Imagine if Terry Richardson was some talentless bozo with barely enough charisma to take photos of heavily inebriated girls and boys at what the book itself proclaims to be the most happening parties in New York City. Welcome to Merlin Bronques and lastnightsparty.com

Recently I made 10 anti America posters. This was before Obama won the elections, am a bit late with posting them on S43. Here’s a link to all 10. It was a situationist international project, which practicly comes down to making a strong political poster series in a very short time with almost no money. These were done in 2 hours and printed for free by nicking a tutor’s account login. Hope you like it. They will be hanging in Club Canvas (Amsterdam), 2 will be published in the Mexican Chakota Mag. and my for the rest I promote them online.
