A Rolling Perspective! Last Stop!
Posted by: Brink | Wednesday, November 12, 2008
A Rolling Perspective
etnies and Color Magazine asked skateboarders to shoot a photo of themselves from their own perspective, skateboarding. Over 200 portraits have been collected from skaters across Canada, the United States and as far as Japan. With the help of Fourstar Clothing, a selection of these self portraits of pro skateboarders, artists, and other talented individuals have been composed into an exhibition in celebration of skateboarding.
The show has been broken into a three-part art crawl (or roll) traveling across the country during the next six months from Vancouver (BC) to Montreal (QC) with stops in Winnipeg (MB), Calgary (AB) and Toronto (ON). Opening receptions in each of these cities take place in separate spaces at different times. Attendees are encouraged to take their cruiser boards out and celebrate the freedom of skateboarding and embrace the roll from spot to spot.
Includes photos from etnies pros, Mikey Taylor, Jason Dill and more!
Opening reception Friday, Dec. 5, 2008
8pm Stussy (431 Richmond St. W) Showing through December.
10pm Adrift (G2-116 Spadina Ave.) Showing through December.
12am The Baitshop with afterparty! (358 Dufferin St.) One night only.

Casualties Premiere!
Posted by: Brink | Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Tuesday, October 7th marked the date of the annual Casualties Snowboard Video Premiere.
This year’s event took place in front of a capacity audience on the campus of Northern Michigan University. Feature films included Mack Dawg’s senior release “Double Decade” along with Rome’s “No Correct Way.”
Rome SDS pro rider Yan Dofin was on hand to present his new part, which included footage from Casualties home town of Marquette, MI. The crowd erupted during the premiere introduction video, which was followed by a huge product toss. Lucky guests received prizes from a number of sponsors, including the coveted “I went to the Casualties video premiere and all I got was this poopy T-shirt” tee, complete with poop-smudge brown ink.
The raffle drawings reached epic proportions this year with the grand prize giveaway of a brand new Kymco scooter! This street machine featured custom Casualties graphics, along with a one-of-a-kind stereo from Hunter Audio including marine grade CD deck, iPod, waterproof speakers, remote control, and more! It even included a $50 gas card from NMU’s TCF Bank!
A big thank you goes out to ThirtyTwo for their continued support of this event and others like it; tr32d lightly, and we’ll see you next year!
