Need something to keep your trucks attached to your board? Quad Bolt Co. has your back. Grab a set HERE or in person at our Brick St. store then revisit Quad's first video offering 'Fazakerley Ski Slope' below. Featuring a full crew of LA friends and family, it's perfect pre-session viewing. Take note of how often someone's trucks fall off in the entire video. Not once. Must be because they're all riding Quad.

What’s your name and where d’ya come from? My name is Kev Grey, I’m an artist from Liverpool and for the last 23 years I have specialised in producing black and white artworks and illustrations. How did you get into making art? It all started in the mid nineties, the type of things that were influencing me, I started trying to do my own versions.

Your new shoe is a mid top version of the ever popular 440. Did you specifically ask for more ankle support and are you...
There's a lot to take in with Jon Horner's Relax with Pepper design, he's certainly no stranger to intricate detail in his work (Where actually is Penny though?). We thought it would be a good idea to ask Jon to elaborate on a couple of his favourites from his Club Band of classic graphics. Thank you Jon for taking the time and of course for penning it in the first place. It's one of our favourite things we've ever done. Get reading below now then grab yourself a tee or longsleeve! Accidental Gun Death Peak Marc McKee, maybe the best graphic of its era? It's definitely in the mix, and that was a pretty incredible era for board graphics....
The recent unearthing of this footage from Transworld sent me down another (there's been many) Dan Drehobl youtube rabbit hole. A few times a year i'll just rinse all of his video parts before skating for weeks. Here's a few of my personal Corpsey favourites below. He's the fucking best but you should already know that. Now to finally learn how to pivot fakie properly, they still scare the shit out of me.
