These leaked way back on the webz, but this week Lakai Anchor dealers finally got their hands on Lakai’s two shoes dedicated to the new Girl video Pretty Sweet. Both the Brea and the new Spring 2013 Rick Howard cupsole pro model are given the Pretty Sweet treatment in colors that we are partial to for obvious reasons. Complete looks at both after the jump.
When you hear that the entire Girl team will be skating anywhere remotely close to where you’re at, the question really isn’t if you’re gonna go, it’s how are you gonna get there? That’s exactly what Tim Brodhagen and the dose crew did when they learned that Mike Mo, Cory Kennedy, Sean Malto, Alex Olson, Rick McCrank, Guy Mariano, Brian Anderson, Jeron Wilson, Rick Howard and Brandon Biebel were hitting Baltimore for the Zumiez Couch Tour. In a word, it was rad! The Zumiez Couch Tour hits West Nyack New York tomorrow for Go SKateboarding Day with the Volcom team. Go here for all the details.
Another banging edit from Lakai for the debut of Rick Howard’s new pro model shoe. Get a look at the massive lines he put together and check out the shoes after the jump.
As part of the huge “Art in the Streets” show happening at MOCA comes this rad skate video retrospective tonight hosted by Patrick O’Dell. He’ll be showing classics like Video Days and Bones Brigade Video Show and then discussing them with Spike Jonze, Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Ed Templeton, Greg Hunt, Ty Evans, Rick Howard, Aaron Meza and Tobin Yelland. If you are in LA, you can’t miss that! Starts at 8pm at the Vista Theatre, 4473 Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles. Go here for more info.
Thrasher is back with part 2 of the Girl and Chocolate Skatepark Round Up. This time Brandon Biebel, Eric Koston, Jeron Wilson, Daniel Castillo, Jake Phelps, Chris Roberts, Marc Johson, Brian Anderson, Pete Eldridge, and Rick Howard hit up Garvanza skatepark for a session and some cold ones.
Thrasher put together this dope video of the Girl and Chocolate crew having a chill session at the Hollenbeck skatepark with Alex Olson, Rick Howard, Kenny Anderson, Brian Anderson, Jeron Wilson and Eric Koston on the set. Imagine if your chill sessions were anything like this, damn.
If you haven’t peeped it yet, the trailer for Gang of Fourstar’s ‘Four’n Legion Tour’ is summer shredding in Europe at its finest. England, Sweden, France, and Germany + Max, Rick, Nick, Sean, Tyler, Lucas, Guy, Mike, Brian, Mark, and Andrew = Rad. Look for the Gang of Fourstar full length video coming this fall.
We brought you those sick WE Skate-Hi’s done up by Hush, now check out out his latest creation – the DC Howard Dunks. Wanting to recreate one of his favorite DC kicks, Hush flipped a cowskin suede upper with ballistic mesh and 3M accents, borrowed some eyelets from an Air Max 1 and put them on a Dunk sole. It’s pretty safe to say, this dude is a genius! More looks after the jump.
