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!"
