Habitat skateboards: Mark Suciu, Brian Delatorre and Silas Baxter-Neal in Colombia.

I’m not quite sure how old this is but it definitely can’t be too recent, Suciu is still wearing Habitat shoes… It’s obviously sick though, with a line-up like that you can’t go wrong really.

Adidas Skateboarding: Silas in Tokyo

Arthur Derrien — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:02:59 +0000

Silas went on a filming mission to Tokyo, Japan to promote his new signature apparel collection. It’s quite interesting to see how easily the Portland resident adapts to this futuristic architecture … He even managed to bring a few friends along and appearances from people like Marius Syvanen or Pete Eldridge are always welcome.

Few weeks ago most of the adidas international team got together in Paris, France for a skate on one of the strangest yet most interesting skate sculptures built to this date. Trill!

This weekend coming, Feb 9.-11, Adidas France are putting on a free for all skate / art event at le centquate space. Badger of Moving Units and Side Effects of Urethane is building a new obstacle specially for this, and judging by what he’s built before for the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, for South Bank, for Hoxton and for the first TSEOU event in London, this should be something to experience.

O Canada… – Adidas Joining In

Jan — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:33:56 +0000

Canada seems to be the place right now. Next visitors: adidas, with Montreal being the Euro heavy squad of stylers’ destination of choice. Dunno if they came by subway, but obviously, looking at their amazing clip, they must have spent a hell of a lot of time on the underground. Anyway, they brought back a fantastic piece of audio-visual stimulation.Thanks to some fresh Queeb spots, the awesome skating of Lucas Puig, Dennis Busenitz, Chewy Cannon, Jake Donnelly, Silas Baxter-Neal, Benny Fairfax and the rest, fine filming and editing by Dan Wolfe and Torsten Frank and the music of The Horror and Wolf Parade. Good stuff.

Riding The Long White Cloud

Riding the Long White Cloud is a documentary following one of the sickest groups of skateboarders possible to amass as they journey through 500Km of New Zealand by bicycle. John Rattray, Rick McCrank, Kenny Anderson, Cairo Foster, Chris Haslam, Keegan Sauder and Silas Baxter-Neal are the skaters and, as if that wasn;t going to be rad enough, it was filmed by Alex Craig and French Fred. A-Squad shit. Highly entertaining.
