CLSC x Champ T


Adrift is having an awesome back-to-school sale and I had to yank this CLSC tee. It's one of the most iconic boxing photographs of Muhammad Ali knocking out Cleveland Williams in 1966. It was a must for me to pick it up.

HUF x Spitfire Jersey


Here is another grab on my trip to Buffalo. I forgot the name of the store, but it was located in the Walden Galleria mall. They were having a 30% off sale and was quick to grab this HUF x Spitfire collabo jersey. I'm thinking of customizing the back, but not sure what to get. I'm really stoked on this pickup since I love both skateboarding and jerseys and this is a great combination.

Hockey x Eyes Without A Face


I just got back on my trip from Buffalo and I was very stoked to have passed by Sunday, it's an independent skate shop just beyond the Canadian/American border. It's run by great people and a lot of great products on the wall. I highly suggest heading there when you're in the area. Unfortunately, they didn't have any shop tees or stickers at that time, which means I'll definitely head back there soon. One of the two decks I grabbed was this Hockey Eyes Without A Face graphic. This is my wall hanger because I'm a major Flyers fan and only God saves more than Bernie Parent. The graphic is also also embossed, so you can feel the helmet, letters, holes, and everything raised on the veneer. Hockey is Fucking Awesome's co-brand and we're all expecting major things from them in the future.

Politic Brand x Team Owl x Bronson Speed Co.


Another pickup from Sunday, this is the deck I'll be setting up for the tail end of summer. It's a Politic Team Owl deck. Great small company on the rise and only available at independently own skate shops.

Ace Trucks 33


Just picked up a pair of Ace Trucks from So Hip It Hurts. I've been hearing a lot of great things about these and even though I didn't need a new pair of trucks, I'll be hanging onto them for my next year's complete.



Ace Trucks were founded by Joey Tershay and part of the Diamond Supply Co. umbrella.

Gold Wheels x Gold Goons


Really excited to have been given a free copy of Gold Goons, the latest video from The Kayo Corp's Gold Wheels. Support your local skate shop and they support you in return.

Jesse Barfield & Lloyd Moseby


Today was a great day to be a Toronto Blue Jays fan. I won a draw at work to meet Jesse Barfield and Lloyd Moseby, members of the 1985 AL East division champions. Great end to a hellish week of work.

Adio x One Step Beyond


I was really stoked to have found a copy of Adio Footwear's first video One Step Beyond at a used store. A while ago, someone borrowed it and never gave it back. Although the soundtrack on the DVD version is nowhere near as great as the VHS copy, it's pretty rad to have this back in the collection and remind me of a time when skateboarding wasn't so upriver.
