If you are looking for something hip to wear next time you drop your peyote tab and head into the desert, then Radlands has you covered. Their fine apparel is as much for the rap listening shaman as it is for the skateboarding Jim Morrison type. Turn on, tune in, look stylish.

Photos of skateboarding in New York in 1960
Contributor
Having spent five years living in New York, I can attest from first hand perspective that the city has a definite mysticism that just translates so well to film. These old school shots of kids cruising the streets on old school skateboards remind me of how little has actually changed in the city over the 53 years since the photos were taken by Bill Eppridge for LIFE magazine.

Hockern: the new German sport of Extreme Sitting
Contributor
Breakdance and skateboarding are from yesteryear: Hockern is the new trend sport on the streets these days. The origins of Hockern can be traced back to the German coast city of Kiel, where people with too much time on their hands and not much interest in breaking their bones invented a few tricks that have [...]

ZSADAR terrorises the Perth Fashion Festival
Reader Find
I’m a menswear designer in Perth and I staged a faux fashion show that was hijacked by my male models at my first Perth Fashion Festival showing. I had the models terrorise the audience by cracking whips, stealing items from the audience and skateboarding down the runway (all staged, of course). The show ruffled the feathers of the corporate sponsors and some of the Festival big wigs but it was well received by the unsuspecting audience. They especially loved the executioner’s mask on the runway.

The most outrageous beards grown to man
Contributor
Matthew Rainwaters was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, which is the part of Los Angeles nobody likes to talk about. He did a lot of skateboarding when he was younger, broke a lot of bones, and spent hours filming his friends. Making skate videos eventually brought him to still photography.

Jeff Grosso Era Pro Classic Vans
Reader Find
Ageing skateboarders take note! As a skateboarder for over 25 years, I’ve seen Vans go in and out of fashion more times than not. The new Vans Pro series is particularly sweet for anyone who’s had years of heal bruises and bashed up feet from skating.

Incredible skateboarding video featuring Kilian Martin
Contributor
In my teenage years, I used to get around the backstreets of Sydney on a trusty Ozi board. I recently toyed around with the idea of getting a deck these days to bypass, the bus. Having seen this miraculous footage of Kilian Martin ripping it up, I’ll take that idea and kick it to the [...]

Glen E. Friedman was everywhere you wish you could have been: the dog (town) days of skateboarding, the salad days of hardcore, the golden age of hip-hop. And the photos he took along the way are now as prolific as the subjects he captured.

Nas Chompas
Reader Find
I’ve been to Portland. Yes, people there are really weird, hippie, forest spirits that are in a cosmic brotherhood. They perform black masses with crystals and then they go skateboarding to let off some steam. Nas Chompas is actually a photorealist artist.

Charlie Megna’s artwork at People Lounge, Chicago
Reader Find
Chicago artist Charlie Megna leads a simple life of skateboarding, painting, and drinking with friends. I envy him. Perhaps it’s this casual mid-west approach to urban life that provides him the tongue-in-cheek platform with which he pokes at modern life from. With content ranging from oil consumption to technological advances, state pride to abstract kitty cats, he can also draw a very pretty tree. A good number of Megna’s paintings are currently hanging at People Lounge in Wicker Park, and will be up for the remainder of the month.
