Nike SB x BCN || Short Film

Barcelona has long been known as one of Europe’s top skate spots. It has Paral-lel, Sants, La Guineueta and, of course, MACBA.

And Nike SB has released a new short film celebrating the city’s place in skate culture.

Directed by Sergi Castellà, the film asks locals and non-locals why they skate in Barcelona. Amid beautiful skate shots, the subjects tell us what they love about skating in the city — everything from the bowls and downhills, to the one euro fries and the parties.

 Watch the video below, but be warned, it will make you want to book a flight out to BCN ASAP.

Boy Racer || Fast & Furious In The UK

Since the trend of teenagers modifying their "affordable" cars with go-faster stripes, neon under-lights, and dump valves really took off in the 90s, the media and public have been wary of boy racers. The British government has attempted to force them out of town centers with surveillance, and the cops spend their nights hunting them in unmarked cars.

 Understandably, this has driven boy racers to abandon the bright lights for industrial areas, country lanes, and parking lots where they can blare happy hardcore, jungle, bassline, and pull off handbrake turns to their hearts' content. 

In the film, we follow the boy racers as they try—with varying degrees of success—to unify the scene in their local area. In Essex, we find car meets with hundreds of kids in kitted up cars, showing off luxury paint jobs and bass systems that ruin their girlfriends' hair dos. And in North London, boy racers take to highways to find their own fun—which, in the past, has had grave consequences.

The summer brings with it super-sized car festivals, where everyone goes to race, get wasted and get their picture taken with pouting, bikini-clad promo models.

 Cars get scrapped, street races get dangerous, and things get wild in a parking lot. Boy Racer is a timely spotlight on what kids in souped-up cars are doing today, or tonight, in every town in the UK.

The Story of Skinhead with Don Letts || Documentary

Documentary in which director and DJ Don Letts looks at a very particular and very provocative British subculture - skinhead. He explores how skinhead has become associated with street fighting, trouble on the football terraces and violent racism in the public consciousness in Britain and around the world, but reveals that its origins lie in a cultural coming together that could not be further from its tarnished image. 

 Don shows in fascinating detail how the roots of skinhead are in a brilliant cultural collision between the young white working-class kids and their Jamaican counterparts in British inner cities, a moment of multicultural harmony. He traces the history of skinhead from the late 60s to the present, looking at the music and styles of skinhead from the reggae-influenced ska to the punk-influenced Oi. Throughout Don meets people who were committed members of various skinhead scenes, and he considers the conflicts and the contradictions that skinhead has attracted over five decades.

Levi's® Skateboarding x Byrrrh & Skate present || We're back!

Earlier this month, Levi’s Skateboarding presented the launch of The Byrrrh & Skate Project at a local DIY skate spot in Brussels, Belgium, designed and put together by local skater Youssef Abaoud

 Three years ago after the closure of the well-known Roller Park in Anderlecht, Belgium in 2005, skateboarders throughout the country had nowhere to skate after the weather turned in winter. Determined to find a solution, Youssef searched for an indoor space that he and his friends could skate. 

 Eventually Youssef came across a perfectly lit, smooth floored, dry, abandoned warehouse that he used to work at. It was the ideal space for a new skate park, and over a few weeks him and his friends began collecting skate obstacles and building ramps for it from donated wood. The skate community throughout the city were eager to visit and help Youssef out, and this was where Byrrrh was born. The spot was perfect for two whole winters until the ownership of the building changed and they had to pack up and leave the premises. 

 Youssef’s second indoor skate park suffered the same fate as the first, and in 2016 he was determined to find a permanent space to skate. He came across a new spot in Anderlecht, a little further out of the city, an old TV studio that was bigger and better than anything he’d found before. This would become the home of Byrrrh

 Similar to their previous DIY spots, the space is made up of confiscated skate obstacles, recycled waste, donated wood and concrete. It even houses a bar and an art studio, but most importantly it offers a space in Brussels where skaters of all ages and abilities can come and skate everyday of the week, 24-hours a day. 

 Levi’s Skateboarding caught wind of Youssef’s story and supported the launch of Byrrrh & Skate by hosting a competition on 6 May with cash prizes, live music and a photography exhibition. Take a look at some footage of it below and hear from Youssef himself about the project.

Professional drives have started academies and in doing so are trying to make drifting a professional sport.

The Syncronicles II || The Ramp

Follow Rob Heran on his road trip to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to fulfill childhood dreams and live the vanlife.

 Childhood dreams. We give up on them too easy, don't we? We fall into the trap of "adult life". We end up following the path that society expects us to. More than ever before, we're expected to perform at the highest level. In everything we do. In our jobs, in our hobbies, even as parents and in our relationships. Sometimes it seems that the world offers more stages to perform on than opportunities to live.
Everything is expected to move faster, tob e performance-enhanced – whether LTE, social media, drugs or self-optimization. We get caught in the trap, again and again as our vision becomes more and more blurred. We are traveling so fast that we don’t see what’s going on right in front of us. We are racing in the tunnel into the light. We get lost, lose control or can’t stand the pressure anymore. We burn out in the useless, competitive race.
 No wonder I see more and more people who decide to change direction and deliberately slow down. They quit their jobs and finally do what they always dreamed of, because they realize that tomorrow never comes.
It’s what’s here and now that counts. The clock of life is ticking. Step out of the trap, turn around and choose the life you dreamed of. Don’t be scared. Follow the dreams of your childhood.

 The time has come to finally live my childhood dream. It seems like it took me a lifetime to get there. But finally, I arrived where I always wanted to be; In my own imagination of what Mountainbike riding means to me—infinite freedom (and the possibility to launch myself into orbit) 

 It was deep winter in January when I had everything finished. I‘ve set up the ramp only once before to see if the construction itself works, but I haven't jumped it yet. Nevertheless, I packed my new built Evil Wreckoning bike and everything I needed for a three-month road trip adventure all the way down to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. It has been a destination I always dreamed of visiting with my own car.

Face Lift || Animated Short Film

CalArts animation student Brian Kim has shared a great short film over on Vimeo titled Face Lift
The original story follows a boy growing up who is unfortunately born with just the one head, whereas everyone else in the surreal animated world around him seems to have two as standard. 

 The boy grows up as an outcast as generally looks unhappy with life apart from when he is with his loving father. It’s actually all a bit emotional, but nonetheless it’s a wonderful little story. Take a look below and enjoy!
