“On Saturday 18 May 2013, Converse took over a disused section of the Port of Barcelona to create the first CONS SPACE, an initiative to transform disused urban space through skateboarding, art and music. Kenny Anderson and Pontus Alv collaborated with local artists Txemy Basuelto, Fernando Elvira and Ruben Sanchez to design a skate spot inspired by the abandoned industrial materials and incredible location. They were joined by Rune Glifberg, Tom Remillard, Remy Taviera, Javier Mendizabal, Jerome Campbell, Harry Lintell, Danny Sommerfeld and Ben Raemers for an epic all day session. CONS SPACE 001 BCN wrapped up with live music from The Bots and Black Lips.” – Converse

RIDE x CREATE

The RIDE x CREATE vibe is never not hand-in-hand with skateboarding.

Get motivated!

Quit arguing for your limitations.

Blake is one cool dude! Met him at the Toy Machine Demo earlier this year.

I genuinely dig everything about his style; so I’m pretty pumped that he’s officially, on board… with Toy Machine!!!

 Make sure to purchase “Cosmic Vomit 2” to check out Blake and his mondo skate radery!

“We’re not players, we just pose a lot” – Kyle

So, as I’m sure you’ve seen on Kyle and I’s IG (@kylesteed / @createfolly), we spent the weekend in Louisville, Kentucky; having a BLAST with the Over crew (IG @over). 

Kyle, official new member (titled  Creative Director) of Over, and his very rad wife Amanda (IG @amandasteed) were invited by Over to spend the week in Louisville… since I am only 4 hours from there, it was an easy choice to pop in and get rad with these creative folks; and rad we got.

To avoid the risk of putting you to sleep and posting the bazillion photos we all took; I recommend you check out our Instagram posts (as well as @aaronmarshall x @_jeffreyjackson, Founders of Over) .  They will tell the story of landmark creating, outdoor ping pong played, bourbon drank, guns shot, fires lit, chalk drawn, street fights won x lost, new friendships created and old friendships built stronger.

I hope your weekends were equally, if not more so, as epic as Kyle and I’s.  Cheers to thinking consistent x progressive; unlimited high fives to spreading the Ride x Create vibe!

Eswic flow rider Trevor Ward says “not today 13 stair handrail… today, I will defeat you”… and that, he did.

[I recommend listening to the Gipsy Kings “Rhythmic” as you watch this]

Thanks to Ed Templeton via Twitter (@TempletonEd), I was made aware of this great interview with Arto Saari on the Leica Camera Blog.

I’ve always been a big fan of Arto and his chill melancholy’esk demeanor. His style is something that resonates with me personally. 

This oozes the Ride x Create vibe!
