Radcollector got together with Louie Vito, Nike 6.0, Frank151 and TheGoodLife! to make shred x hip hop history at Winter X 15 in Aspen Colorado this year. Not only did Louie win his first ever X Games medal with a bronze in halfpipe, but he brought Yelawolf on snow for the first time and had him charging Snowmass like an expert after only two days. After the shredfest, Yelawolf took over The Belly Up with the stoke in his belly and gave one of the best shows of his life, bringing out Trouble Andrew for a rendition of his anthem “Take it to the Top” before Z Trip caused a near riot with his closing set. Peep the madness above.
Last week we gave you a look at the opening of Burton’s new facility, the Craig Kelly Proto Lab. While there we caught up with Jake Burton to discuss what the day was all about and what the raddest thing in his life is. Take a look at what Mr. Burton had to say on the topic.

Cullen Poythress just did a rad interview with tattoo prodigy Jun Cha. It’s an interesting conversation that ranges from politics to fine art and also touches on what it takes to be commercially viable while retaining your artistic soul, “Commercially you can still do things and be a certain way, but the core of where your work comes from has to come from who you are.” Read the whole thing here.
Last week Radcollector had the chance to stop by the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California for the Ken Block Invitational, Block’s namesake Gymkhana/Drifting racing event.
