Panda Express (EVO X)

For anyone that’s been keeping up with our crew’s lifestyles then you know that on top of being into the skateboarding & graffiti scene we are also into the import racing culture. You might have seen us back in the day riding around to skatespots in our 92-95 Honda Civic Hatch’s and posting on Honda-Tech trying to find good deals on lip kits or a CF Duckbill. I had the Boosted D16 Si Model (May she Rest In Peace. Damn Thieves.), BOCKCHOY had the GSR’ed CX Hatch and Beto had (and still has) the White Hardtop S2000. But as with everything in life, all good things have endings and it’s time to move on up to bigger and better things. Let me introduce to you a new family member in our squad, Panda. All 295 horsepower and 300 lb-ft. of torque STOCK!

CLOUT Graffiti Magazine - Issue #10

Aside from being shocked by the 5.8 Magnitude earthquake yesterday, to our surprise, we received a lovely package from the heads over at CLOUT. It is of their latest issue (#10) with interviews from ALOY MSK, MUCH HM as well as upcoming rap artists Clyde Carson and Traxamillion. CLOUT has been in the graffiti magazine game for quite some time now. I remember first seeing this magazine back around 2006(?) and had always thought that it was well designed with a grimey, street feel to the publication. It also doesn’t hurt to have exclusive photos of graffiti that you don’t usually see on the net either. Graffiti mags come and go but these guys will definitely be around to pump out more issues for you in the near future. Visit their online shop if you feel like purchasing some graf supplies and/or products. Better yet, go buy their mag and check everything out yourself.

Note To Self…

Never forget your can of paint at the yard or else you get yellow swiggly lightnings all over your shadows. At least the perpetrator didn’t completely fuck up the pieces. Wonder if it was a train worker? Photos courtesy of All-Seeing on Flickr.

8=D vs SGV - Alhambra, CA

I received a call from Gabriel & Abijah earlier this weekend informing me that there was a skatejam/event/contest that the heads from 8=D vs SGV were throwing in Alhambra, California at some church parking lot. With nothing else to do we went ahead and checked out the scene. To our surprise we saw a bunch of rippers coming together to skate such as Mike-Mo Capaldi, Billy Roper, Danny Castillo and local rippers Ray Maldonado, Frankie from Non-Factory and Kirk Rocha were amongst the attendees. At the end of the contest there was a product toss courtesy of American Apparel, DVS, Matix and The Hundreds. Brings back memories of a good old skate session.
