If you grew up skating in the 80's like me.. you'll be stoked to see Hosoi -> Rising Son.. Back then.. no one looked so smooth/stylin' high in the air as he did.. He made it look so easy.. Christ air.. my gaddd!.. The movie is showing in Vancouver this week..
Thanks to Vibe Raider for the info..

Multi-talented designer/illustrator Cecilia Lundgren has started her own company.. Her latest product is a hand-made pillow case that helps ease the pain.. I look forward to seeing more of her work coming out in the near future..

Have a look at the very intricate rings by Daniel Chiquet - master goldsmith.. He uses tectonics.. tension.. and tasselation.. to produce stunning works of engineered art.. Genious..

Nice shirts over at That's Them.. All you shoe-fiends have to get the Imelda shirt.. God save the queen of shoe connoisseurs.. I ordered one and got it today..

Just got back from dinner with my bro.. He just showed me version 1.2 of the Cros Fixie.. New seat and other subtle details that make the bike pop.. As for me.. Looks like I've run out of time.. As the season is pretty much done.. Will hunt for parts this winter.. In time for a spring release for the G73 fixie..

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.. one of the most beautiful cars in the world will make its production debut this year.. Limited to 500 units a year.. At $200,000 a piece.. Way off my price point.. but this stunning red head will always be in my dreams..

Word on the street is.. If you're hunting for him.. Bansky is on Hunter Street.. So if you if you're in L.A. this weekend.. Drop by and have a look at his latest mind-to-media translations..

Fall is soon arriving.. which means lots of rain ahead.. especially if you live in a wet place like Vancouver like me.. Soggy shoes makes for a grumpy demeanor.. So cheer up and find yourself a pair of Gore-Tex "Adventure Park" Dunks.. Seamless construction means less places for water to seep in.. Brn/blk colorway with blue liner.. Nothing like having a warm/dry pair of feet on a rainy day..

Now that the dust has settled.. I'm happy to see that Apple has come up with some new gear.. Mostly all for the better.. Mostly.. My favorite being the new iPod shuffle.. Smaller form factor.. Better looking (metal case -> looks more expensive).. with integrated spring-loaded clip on the back.. And new headphones.. 1 gig of memory.. enough for 200+ songs.. All for $79USD.. Nice..

Are you an aspiring film-maker?.. Looking to make that dynamic scene?.. Maybe you could use the services of Coptervision or 1AT UAV.. Check their impressive client list and demos.. Or maybe make your own rc helicopter with camera?.. Anyways.. I think any of these choices will get you that shot you want..
