Skate Bums

CTRL team rider Allard pictured here, is also on the cover of Tagsters online magazine. He is really ripping it up lately and as talent manager of the Revert team (which he is also on) I am very proud. Also Tagsters is really worthy of checking out.

The Barcelona Take Over

We (Frisco, Freshcotton, Ontour & Re-Issue) decided it was enough of digital life already and teamed up to throw a little party together next week in real life. Since we are all in Barcelona next week, why not do it there right? So if you are also there next week drop by on Thursday night. You can see how fat Peter really is, hear Gio's hyena laugh, see that I look even better than on pictures and if you are really luck Jesse and Remco show their dancing skills.

Pimpin'

Pieter Pimp aka Ceizer (pimpalicioius) is having an exposition. Supposed to be crazy, go check it out.

MacCrash

Now I wanted to do an awesome update today on the amazing weekend we had with Will & Rufus (www.freshcotton.co.uk), but unfortunately my macbook crashed and all my pictures are on there. Hopefully tomorrow or friday. I feel crippled...

Bachelor Bird

With Jesse marrying in Vegas he thought he was safe from a bachelor's party. Well au contraire my friend. So we went off and bought a chicken suit and went pretty crazy. Here are some highlights of the night. We also did all sorts of extreme water-sports and a BBQ in the afternoon, but who really wants to see those pictures right?

Swing by

This wednesday Les Amateurs de Vinyl are playing at Katapult at Studio 80. Also my fellow vinyl amateur; Gosse de Skater is celebrating his birthday. So swing by. And if you're too cheap to pay 5 euros and have my number, give me a call I'll put you on the guest-list.

We're out...

The Russians gave us a beating. And yes it hurts.

Beatch Party!

Attack of the Jews

Freshjive's Rick Klotz is under attack. I've dedicated a blog entry to him already last week, and now he's the talk of LA. The JDL (Jewish Defense League) were protesting outside his door claiming he is an antisemitist. Pretty strange as Rick is a jew himself. The reason he would hate jews is some Freshjive shirts that came out (over 3 months ago) on the the whole middle-east issue. The shirts are on Palestines instead of Israeli's which is quite unusual in the US. But does that make you a hate jews? The Hundreds did a whole item about it, they documented it all since they are just around the corner. Check it out. By the way we still sell the relevant T-shirts online.

OBEY Summer '08

The Summer collection for OBEY is now online.  Loads of tees, some caps and some hot shit for the ladies. Go check it out! You know, like us, people love it. So better be fast or you'll be too late.

Coming around the corner soon

Although the staff is arrogant, not as hot as you hoped and you can only get overpriced basics there, I love American Apparel. And they are opening up a new store on the Utrechtsestraat, right around the corner.

Vincent Alvarez

There's this new kid on Chocolate, one of the best skateboarding brands out there. His name is Vincent Alvarez. Check out his new video part. This is the only footage I saw of him and already I'm thinking of putting him in my top 10 list.

I know fat Peter also blogged it, but that's because I told him yesterday I was gonna blog it.

FRESHJIVE

We just did a Freshjive week on Freshcotton, not for marketing purposes or anything, just because we really love the brand. And so should you. Rick Klotz, the guy behind the brand, is sort of a fucking genius. Go check out the website, it has a great blog, another great blog and be sure to check out the sections on the right site especially 3 weeks in mexico and happy sausage happy life. 

Money for Nothing and Chicks for Free

Already a while ago (sorry for the lousy blogging) our favorite germans came out; the Wemotions. And we sponsored the sponsored to death party from Habbekrats that night. Over-sponsored so everything for free you'd say. Well everything except for the main element in partying; the booze.

No party is complete without the Freshcotton DJ Team; Pelle and myself. Here announced by Habbekrats' own Jim Aasgier.

Darnell got pretty scared by the chaos created by our DJ-ing and the free T-shirts we were handing out.

 
We make the girls go crazy.

Later on my young Beesmunt boys were playing and Olaf approved of the music.

Here we go again.
