Skull Skates PD's Hot Shop
Hey Christmasicists shoppers... I wanted to bring to your attention two items of interest that might be great for under your tree... The makers of Skull Skates relaesed a couple of items that would go good on those rainy and miserable days when you can't hit the skatepark.
First up is the "Skateboarding Vancouver" The Skull Skate collection at the Vancouver Museum book. This was a display of the history of skatebording and the collection of skateboard devices dateing back to 1900's. If you didn't get the chance to see this collection at the museum do yourself a favor and buy this book. Everytime i open this book I loose about half an hour. I just can't put the thing down. 200 pages of skateboards and skateboarding history. Steel wheelers, clay, 70's pool boards, bananas, GNC, Alva, Olson, tube socks, Sims, Dogtown, Head Honcho, Nelson Halfpipe, Seylynn, Ripping Squad, JaKs Team, Skull Skates history, punk band skateboards, Carlos Longo, Hosoi, Duane Peters, Zorlac, 90's skates, Kevin Harris, Rob Boyce, and Joosef Itekonen... then a little tase of snowboarding and skim plus more more more. Its an eyefull my friends! I just spent another half hour lookin. This baby is a must for your beer table and I actually think it is better than going to the museum and seeing it. The museum display ended in Aug of this year so this is the only way to see this incredible collection. There is more in the book than was at the museum anyway. So if you want to see some cool skate stuff hunt this book down.... If your old it will take you back and if your your young it will learn you. Get it! It's Canadas finest.
Next up is the "Wild in the Stream" dvd. Since the sixties kids have been sliding discs across the sandy beach, jumping on them and… skimboarding. Today skimboarding is a little more extreme then it was back then and to make it known Skull Skates, Slashco Distribution & Budda Lab Productions give us the "Wild In The Streams" DVD! Featuring skimboard footage from the Vancouver Spanish Banks and areas. Yes when those Van folks aren't carving the mountains or skateboarding some of the great parks they have they are skimmin the strange streams and way-out tides of the Vancouver waterfront. This DVD features footage by the Spanish Flyers Skim Club, The Kayotics crew, and the Breaknecks.... As usual with Skull Skates they dig up DJ KiLocee to mix in the soundtrack for all this skimboarding footage. No mainstream stuff here classic new wave, a taste of rippin metal, ska, reggae, casual music, and electronic beats that make you even hungrier to do what you are watching on the dvd. Kilocee blends music so decent that even if I was blind I would still sit in front of this DVD over and over again! The visual is a mix of flat carves slids and freestyle that makes this a nice show to have on the screen while your gearing up for the summer to come.
So make a list and check it twice.... but if you've been naughty like i'm sure most of yous have been just order these item up at www.skullskates.com. Santa never reads Absolue Underground so this might be your best bet! Support the best skate company in Canada and buy Skull Skates!
