Bottled History

"Ray Gascoigne has been around boats his whole life, as a shipwright, a merchant sailor, and now as a ship builder on the smallest dry dock there is: a bottle. This short film picks through the wood chips to tell the story of a craft honed over 60 years, and the man behind it."

ID. Boards || BATTLE FIT

BATTLE FIT [bat-l-fit].
noun
1. The physical condition of a person ready to engage in battle: ready to battle with the enemy.
2. Mentally ready for a hostile encounter or engagement between opposing forces.
3. To struggle; strive: to enter a heightened level of physical performance in the quest for freedom.
4. Basic condition necessary when fighting giants.

'For so long the human condition has been paralysed by fear or failure. It becomes a mountain we cannot climb. Developed in our mind to stop us moving forward and conquering new fields.'

 "This is a short film starring Glen Thurston, hitting rock bottom, being defeated by one of the most dangerous waves around. One simple mistake at this wave resulted with Glen breaking 3 ribs, severe internal bruising and 3 months in the recovery ward. This sparked a new fire within for Glen, to do what it takes, to think clearly and positively and train himself back into the person that could face his Giants once again.

 In January 2013, Cyclone Oswald generated a swell, that was bigger then anything before. Glen and his team new this was the Giant, and it was time for Glen to face him alone."

Nike SB Eric Koston 2 || The Legend Grows

"To celebrate the release of pro skateboarder Eric Koston's second signature Nike SB model, the Eric Koston 2, a funny new edit has been put together by the brand highlighting Koston's ability to keep control no matter what the situation. Featuring an all star cast including Tiger Woods, Jake Phelps, Giovanni Reda, Kyrie Irving, Neymar Jr., Allyson Felix, Danny Kass, Sean Malto, Wieger Van Wageningen, Ishod Wair, Alex Olson, and Neckface (to name a few), the commercial tells the story of one of Koston's legendary tricks. In a Chinese whispers-like fashion, the trick gets more and more ridiculous as the story gets handed down. The release of the shoe also coincides with Eric Koston's 20th anniversary of turning pro. Check out the video below!"

"Like a Daydream is a new video by Marco Aslan which wants nothing more than to share a series of pleasant thoughts and moments in an attempt to distract your attention from the present. Shot in places like New York, California, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Uruguay, China, Taiwan, and Japan, the four-minute video does a good job of doing just that. Enjoy."

GARAGE Magazine || Take My Picture

"Russian culture magazine GARAGE have produced a new short film which explores the often mystifying world of street style stars and their relationship with fashion bloggers. Speaking about the short, which is entitled 'Take My Picture', GARAGE magazine says: 'As we started to review the footage, two salient trends became apparent: fashion editors frustrated by the ensuing commotion outside of shows, and the rise of 'peacocking' street style stars as a result of the proliferation of blogs. This film examines these themes from both perspectives.'. In the 9-minute documentary we hear from fashion journalist Tim Blanks, street style star Hanneli Mustaparta, fashion editor Sabrina Marshall, and many more… Watch below!"

Detroit Rubber || Reebok's Spirit of Detroit

"The final episode of Detroit Rubber (for the time being) has arrived. The show this time takes us on the same journey that Rick and Ro of Burn Rubber took when looking for inspiration for the their new Reebok Classic Leather collaboration. After hitting up a couple local landmarks, the duo decided on the Spirit of Detroit statue as their muse for their latest footwear project, the Burn Rubber 'Spirit of Detroit' Reebok Classic Leather."

Kilian Martin: Internal Departure

"Kilian Martin is back with a new video shot yet again by Brett Novak. Internal Departure sees Martin inside a gallery doing tricks that combine the industrial installation art of Kay Walkowiak. While there is a fair share of hand stands and spins, somewhat surprisingly the freestyle skateboard virtuoso has started incorporating flip tricks and grinds into his repertoire."

WE WERE NEVER BORN

"We Were Never Born by Dosnoventa. With the support of Lacoste Live."

'I have lots of things to teach you now, in case we ever meet, concerning the message that was transmitted to me under a pine tree on a cold winter day. It said that Nothing Ever Happened, so don't worry. It's all like a dream. Everything is ecstasy, inside. We just don't know it because of our thinking-minds. But in our true blissful essence of mind is known that everything is alright forever and forever and forever.
Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity.
We were never really born, we will never really die. It has nothing to do with the imaginary idea of a personal self, other selves, many selves everywhere: Self is only an idea, a mortal idea.
I know this from staring at mountains months on end. They never show any expression, they are like empty space, but the emptiness of space will never crumble away because it was never born.'
