Dave Carnie has always been a dude I looked up to. Be it in a slightly diagonal manner.
He does not give a fuck what anyone thinks. He does his own thing and makes no bones about it. I respect that in a person. Especially if the thing you are making no bones about happens to be a boner.
Etnies (inexplicably) just teamed up with Carnie’s “Whale Cock Skateboards” to bring us the long awaited “Aborted baby whale penis skate shoes”.
Here is the story of how that beautiful flower of thought came to fruition.
Alex Olsen. Wow. Not a bad wow necessarily… just WOW.
Their website says “You don’t brush your teeth with shampoo. Nor brush your teeth with shampoo. How is it possible that a woman’s sweet spot is less deserving of the specialized offerings bestowed our face? Our teeth? Our hair? Doesn’t it seem odd that in today’s world of specialized and sub specialized “mass customized” beauty products, that the very heart of a woman’s feminity is treated as if it’s the same as her arm pit? The same as her calf? Or worse–the same as that of a man’s anatomy?”
That is some thug-ass shit. If you made it all the way through that whole paragraph you deserve some kind Fear Factor award. Alex Olsen getting bold.
Let me know what you think about this general malarky in the comments.
I got a call from the Darkman of Sk8mafia, DC24. He told me that they were in my hood skating the bump to bar. I asked him what was going down… I heard the camera clicking away then a seething yell from the distinct voice of Brandon Turner in the distance. The phone cut out. I knew that I had to get there fast. Brandon is an unpredictable beast of a skateboarder. Once it’s done, it’s done. It usually doesn’t take him long either.
This bump has become pretty recognizable as of late. Seeing as how some pretty heavy shit has gone down over this hurdle. 360 flip takes the cake though. The bar is over hip high. The bump is rough and about 6 inches tall. The runway is the main thoroughfare through a gauntlet of fist-pumping Bostonians to granny’s in rascal scooter’s. It is no joke.
This is just a small glimpse into what it takes to get a trick these days. Fun x anxiety x homies x burritos x Joose x 5 feet of 360 flip = 1 trick of 40 in a Pro part.
A short film filmed, produced, directed & edited by Tosh Rice… “How a stoned pro-skater films another” starring Kellen James and the voice of Brandon Turner and Dan Connelly.
I’d like to thank everyone involved in this project. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to make this thing happen.
It is also a prequel to a film debuting tomorrow on The Corner.
This is footage from Brandon Moore’s video “All around you”.
I always knew Andrew “Skunk” Plante could skate… I just thought he didn’t care. Then all of a sudden I get sent a link to this part. It’s fucking good! I have known skunk for like 8 years and I have literally seen like 3 clips of him skating.
I guess it just goes to show: There ain’t nothin’ to it but to do it.
