Teaser time from Whiteout Films. They’ve made two version of their teasers, one indie rock version and one hip-hop version. They’re pretty much the same except from the music and some minor differences. The film don’t have a name yet but it will be out this fall.
I love backcountry snowboarding and with riders such as Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy, Kale Stephens, Trevor Andrew (amongst others) this will definitely be something to look out for this fall.
Many finer brands are making either some items or whole series of “environmental friendly” clothes. Planet Earth has started up a whole sub label called Planet Earth Green Label. In their own words the clothes are natural, organic and sustainable. The clothes are supposed to organic and natural. Volcom has done the same thing with the v.co-logical series. Just like Patagonia they will donate 1 % of the sales to environmental causes.
Another brand that is doing the same thing is swedish surf-gone-street-wear Encore. Last season they made some clothes with a different kind of cotton. A more organic cotton. As always Planet Earths collegaues and friends over at Holden Outerwear are on top of things. For the 06/07 season they had both jackets and pants made in hemp and recycled pet. I rode partly in a Stanley Hemp jacket this season and it worked really well.
It’s hard to say who started this trend. But vegan skater Geoff Rowley have made his last three or so pro models non leather shoes.
So we can probably expect more environmental friendly clothes for the summer. Who knows it might even be the next big thing.
I love it when companies tries to be original in their ad campaigns and “thinking outside of the box”. These ads for Quiksilver is a pretty good example of that.
The ads can be seen in Denmark and the creators are “Saatchi & Saatchi” which also did “Dynamite Surfing” for Quiksilver.
More creative ads like these please, instead of all ordinary ads that looks the same and bores you to death.
Here’s a video clip with Sverre Liliequist skiing down the the Harp in B.C. After this first descent of the Harp, he named it Troll Wall after a cliff in Norway. This wall is estimated to be 65-70 degrees, now that’s pretty steep.
The result of a collaboration between Boutique Sportif and Martin Kellerman – creator of the comic figure Rocky, is a line of Rocky skateboards. The skateboards will be in stores at the end of april. Perfect if you’re looking for a new board for the summer.
