Lakai is proud to present Vincent Alvarez with his second pro model, the VA2. Available now at Lakai.com and Lakai retailers worldwide.
The Lakai Staple was originally released in 2001, and was an immediate team favorite. The Staple has been updated to today’s standards, and given colorways inspired by three of Lakai’s riders who made the originals look so good: Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, and Mike Carroll.
Once again the Lakai Staple has become an instant team favorite. Lakai riders Rick Howard, Marc Johnson, Mike Carroll, Vincent Alvarez, Sebo Walker, Jon Sciano, Yonnie Cruz, and Tyler “Manchild” Pacheco were given the new Staple to test on a day in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles.
With two big QPs, a flatbed truck, an old Vespa and a Raven Tershy we found a wall and set out to shoot some stuff for the Pretty Sweet intro. We camped out on this side street, with nary a permit in site, and filmed as much shit as we could. The boys were feeling good and the cameras were running. Probably one of the funnest days filming for a lot of us in a long time. Enjoy!
Mike Carroll and Sean Malto hand deliver artist Marcel Dzama his new Girl Skateboards Studio Series.
Known for working in a wide range of media, Marcel Dzama creates collages, dioramas and large-scale polyptychs that depict fanciful, anachronistic worlds full of humans, animals and hybrid creatures. His work, which looks like something you might stumble upon in an antique shop, has not only been published in McSweeney’s, the bible of David Egger’s generation of writers, but it has also appeared on the album covers of “The Else” by They Might Be Giants and “Guero” by Beck, as well as in the music videos for songs by Bob Dylan and the Department of Eagles, and now a set of Girl Skateboards.
The Girl Skateboard Company proudly presents the Studio Series, featuring an evolving group of internationally recognized contemporary artists. The selected works aim to expand upon the traditional expectations of skateboard art, by featuring artists more commonly associated with contemporary art galleries and museums. The Studio Series bridges the gap between skateboarding and some of our most creative friends.
If you got an Instagram chances are you’ve seen Biebel post some heavy ones on a daily basis or “AMFD.” Here for your viewing pleasure is a solid part compiled from those tricks. Pretty mind boggling to see it all in one place. Keep ’em coming Beebs!
We’ve seen the videos, the photos, and the daily post. We all know Ishod busts. But we thought washing out all his clips from Fourstar Clothing’s recent Obtuse Moments Tour edit would shed even more light on how much shit he actually lands during any given sessions. And a demo? Forget it. So it back, play your favorite song(s) and watch nearly 15 minutes of ‘Shody killing it in the raw.
Another one for the ages. Carroll, Ishod, Malto, Rickk, TNT, Brophy, Bledsoe, Puig and Gerwer thru Denmark and Germany.
Filmed over just one weekend in San Pedro, California. Ronnie Sandoval has his shit down…all in the Lakai Owen, see the new colors at lakai.com. And today’s Ronnie’s birthday!
