Lev Tanju’s Interview for Slam City Skates and a bit of Charlie Young

Arthur Derrien — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 10:49:45 +0000

Be sure to head over to the Slam site to find out what the Palace CEO has lined up for us this year. Stoked to hear that a full length video is in the works. I’m also looking forward to seeing the footage from that Palace x Polar trip, I hope it’ll drop soon. I wonder if they’ll put it out as one edit with everyone from both teams in it… That would be so sick.

I was also waiting for an excuse to (re)post these two clips. Charlie Young’s mention amongst the top 5 best styles in London seems like a good one: play the videos below to remind yourself why he’s up there with Toby Shall. I hope their new filmer will be cracking the whip, skateboarding needs a full part from this guy.

Slam City Skates and Converse have teamed up to drop a good old shoe colab and there is an exhibition featuring the work of Lev Tanju, Sam Ashley, Rory Milanes and Charlie Young showing at The Wayward Gallery next Thursday to celebrate it.

If you’re in London you’d be a fool to miss it. Get on with it.
