Skateboarding will always be my best friend. I love everything about it.

Matt Blease is a man after my own heart. LOVE his illustrations. REALLY love this collaboration.

“DEAL WITH IT. A collaborative three pack with Matt Blease is our first deck series of 2016. To celebrate the launch, Matt will be at our London pop up store on Saturday 12th March to create a live large scale collection of illustrations in the store. It’s kinda like the closing party for W1. The three graphics are Manufactured in the USA by Schmitt Stix. £40 each inc grip and hype DEAL WITH IT pin badge.”

Go to Flatspot to check out more on this goodness!!

Seriously solid dude through and through.

I’m just gonna leave this here for your viewing pleasure… yer welcome.

Chrome Industries has been a huge supporter of the FOLLY vibe from day one. Can’t thank the crew enough for their love and support.

Thursday of last week the sky fell out in San Francisco. I made my way though the city when the rain transitioned from full blast to light drizzle down to Chrome HQ to grab a very needed rain coat. As Chrome recently dropped the Storm Cobra 2.0 (review on that later), I decide to nab one. In doing so I meet Jessie (pictured above). Pumped she was sewing and creating bags when I happened to pop in. Really love meeting the Chrome bag creators in each hub I’ve visited throughout the years (Check out Briana’s interview out of the NYC hub for example). Jessie and I talked about the art of handcrafted goods and that it is quickly becoming lost in todays society. I referenced shooting with a manual film camera and Jessie referenced sewing your own goods. Come to think of it… I’ve never developed my own film… I should start. Anyways, Jessie is amazing. If you’re in SF you should go give her a high-five and say thanks for your talent. I’m sure she would appreciate that.

Here are a few shots from our chat.

The Ride x Create vibe is strong with these two. I was introduced to Massan and Matt a few years back via Chrome Industries. Instantly fell in love with their style and serious skill shooting, skating, and riding; so when I got the chance to high-five AND shoot them in action on the streets of San Francisco, it made for one seriously killer afternoon.

I was blown away by how confident Matt and Massan are bombing through traffic. It’s on a whole’nother level. Timing lights, getting low, staying close, and screaming down steep traffic filled streets like it’s a walk in the park. Pumped on that!

Here are a few shots documenting them, their skill and their steezy steez. I hope you enjoy.

ALSO… head to Massan Fluker and Matt Reyes’ Instagram to keep up on the vibe.     

In love with this:

“We all want to take a bite of the Big Apple, but most of us are content with a summertime fling in the city that birthed skitching, skrellys, and hip-hop. The threat of the brutal winters, high cost of living, and fast-paced lifestyle keep the majority of skaters and the skateboarding industry alike tucked safely away in California. In contrast, Theories of Atlantis distribution have planted themselves directly into the streets of New York City where a lot of their riders also reside. You’d be hard-pressed to find any companies more plugged into raw street skating than Traffic, Polar, Hopps, Magenta, Isle, and the Static video series, which I quickly bore witness to pushing through the city 12 hours a day with them for a solid week. Here is a glimpse of the characters that make up the Theories family, so grab your board, stand clear of the closing doors, and meet me at Hoyt and Schermerhorn at three o’clock on the dot.”—Dave Chami

Go check out TransWorld’s November Issue for more story and shots like this. So sick!

Oh man… Chrome Industries just dropped so much new gear! One of my instant favorites is the Kadet. Simpe, easy, throw and go that will hold just what you need on your in and out exploration sessions.

Go to Chrome and check out all the other new arrivals. Such a great line up!
