The Secret Ramp In The Woods || The Jamie Collins Legacy

In 2008, Jamie Collins began working on a secret skate ramp deep in the forest on Vancouver Island where he lived. He worked under the cover of the forest canopy creating a masterpiece that was going to be used in the intro for his upcoming video part to coincide with the release of his pro model deck for his company, Instrumental Skateboards. Unfortunately, that was never to be. Collins, tragically passed away in a cliff jumping accident shortly after completing his secret ramp, but before he could start filming for his video part. Today the ramps whereabouts remain a secret. Only a select group of people have skated it and we are very honored that it was shared with Roark as part of our Artifacts of Adventure for Volume 11: “Hellbound in Clayoquot Sound.”

 As Jamie began working on the ramp he had actually started forming all the bricks way before he knew what he was going to build or where he was going to build it. While out exploring one day he found the perfect spot in the forest to build it and for three years he trekked into the forest hauling in all the materials and supplies by himself. The ramp was completed on June 1st, 2011 which also marked Jamie’s 32nd birthday. After all the concrete was poured and set, Collins realized he had over calculated quite a bit, so he had to hike 30-plus bags of concrete back out of the forest!

 Collins passed away shortly after completion in August of 2012. The only footage of the Vancouver Island icon skating his top secret DIY project deep in the Tofino rainforest was featured in a 2013 short film by Color Magazine (R.I.P. – Rest In Print). “I like to think Jamie would of cracked a few beers and a huge smile watching the Chief (Jamie Thomas) drop in on his masterpiece. Much love to Jamie Thomas, Dylan Gordon and Roark for showing love to Jamie "Odes" Collins and Instrumental, it means the world to us,” Brandon Wells – Instrumental Skateboards.

A way to transmit emotion; a language. A way of life. Everything goes, changes and remains. Art is timeless.

ASICS Tiger || 30 Years of GEL Celebration

ASICS is proud to celebrate 30 years of its hugely innovative GEL technology. When it was first introduced in 1986, GEL improved athletic shoe cushioning tremendously, shaking up the entire footwear industry. 

 For those unfamiliar with the technology, GEL is a soft material that's seamlessly and unobtrusively inserted into the midsole of ASICS sneakers, providing shock absorption and protection while dissipating vertical impact. Since the 80s, research into GEL has continued and the materials, form, and positioning have all been subtly adjusted to create the absolute best in performance.

 To this day, the original silhouettes featuring GEL are still worshipped by connoisseur, so the GEL-LYTE III, GEL-LYTE V, GT-COOL XPRESS and GEL-QUANTUM 360 have all been re-released in color schemes inspired by the development landscape of the time. 

 ASICS also held a one-off exclusive event in Amsterdam, allowing sneaker fanatics to drive around Japanese cars inspired by the re-release and learn more about the GEL technology.
